Best new restaurants in Singapore

We’ve officially crossed into the second half of the year, and if you think that means things are finally quietening down in the food scene – think again. This month sees a slew of new openings by glitzy, renowned international chains, proving again how Singapore is a prime destination if you’re looking to feast on the best cuisines the world has to offer. Other than that, there are also a handful of joints that have quietly sprung up across the island. So whether you’re looking to splurge for a celebration this month, or just searching for a new food haunt to try out, we’ve got you sorted. Here are our picks of the best new eateries to dine at this July.

Feast on a true blue Plugianese spread at the newly opened Sospiri. The swanky Italian joint spotlights Southern Italian flavours and comfort pasta dishes in an expansive dining space inspired by Roman holiday houses. It’s conveniently located in downtown CBD at the new IOI Central Boulevard Towers in Shenton Way, and the restaurant boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and a massive 60-seater sheltered rooftop bar. Whet your palate with refreshing seafood appetisers (from $18) like blue fin tuna tartare or a classic seafood salad, or plates of grilled swordfish belly and octopus. Not a fan of ocean fare? The turf section of the menu offers flavoursome lamb T-bone chops and a bevy of homemade pastas (from $25). 

Its central location also makes it a great spot for weekday business lunches. Three-course sets start at $38 and are switched up every week. And if a new dinner date location is on your radar, the four-course dinner menu ($78) might just fit the bill.
