Restaurants with a view

Edited by Jamie 15 October 2026

A good view can't fix a bad dinner. Luckily, none of these need fixing.

Singapore is a city built for looking at, and its best views come in three flavours: the skyline from very high up, the river from not very high up at all, and the sea, which most visitors forget is there.

We have picked restaurants where the food would be worth it with the blinds down, then added the view as a bonus. Some are on rooftops at Marina Bay, a couple sit right by the water at East Coast and Sentosa, and one is surrounded by the gingers of the Botanic Gardens, which counts as a view in our book.

Two pieces of advice apply everywhere. Book for sunset and ask for the window or terrace when you do, because the seat makes the meal. And keep an eye on the sky: alfresco tables and afternoon storms don't get along, so have a plan for when the heavens open.

Evergreen

The collection

1. Spago by Wolfgang Puck
Marina Bay
Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands, which the hotel calls a garden in the sky. The California-leaning menu winks at Singapore with a Sea Bream "Laksa" and a kaya toast with foie gras–espresso mousse. Book lunch rather than dinner: the skyline is clearer by day, and a set lunch is the easiest way into a room this high. Ask for a window table and check the current set price.
2. Milli
Civic District
LG Han of Labyrinth cooks, Native's Vijay Mudaliar mixes, and the National Gallery's roof does the rest, with the Padang below. Of the views on this list it is the one with the most history in it. Book for dusk, and order the chilli crab ice cream as the conversation starter.
3. Kinki Restaurant + Bar
Marina Bay
Fusion Japanese at Customs House, with a graffiti-sprayed rooftop looking across Marina Bay. It is louder than everything else on this list, which is the point: book the Saturday bottomless brunch for a group, not a date.

4. LeVeL33
Marina Bay
Guinness says it is the highest microbrewery in a building, at 149.321 metres, and the terrace looks at Marina Bay Sands, the ArtScience Museum and the Flyer. The kitchen cooks with spent grain from the brewhouse, so order something that uses it. Ask for the terrace when you book; the view is the reason to come this high.

5. Southbridge
Boat Quay
A glass lift to the fifth-floor rooftop of a heritage shophouse, with the river bend, Parliament House and Marina Bay Sands spread around you. Oysters are the order. Book it for an occasion and for sunset, when the view does most of the work. Strictly 21 and over.
6. JUMBO Seafood Riverside Point
Clarke Quay
Chilli crab beside the Singapore River, in a room built for birthdays and relatives. It is the view-and-crab dinner for the family visit, not the date. Agree on the crab before anything else, then walk the quays afterwards once the heat drops.
7. Fico — East Coast Park
East Coast
A white house by the sea with a big lawn and water views, and a 2026 Bib Gourmand. It is the only view on this list you can sit on the grass for. The focaccina is the order; if you can't get a table, the kiosk and picnic mats are plan B.
8. Fico at Tanjong Beach Club
Sentosa
Fico's second home opened on 28 September 2026 with a coastal grill, seafood platters and a focaccina you can only get on Sentosa. Choose it over the East Coast original if you want the beach rather than the lawn. Make it a long lunch that drifts into aperitivo, and book a weekend table well ahead.
9. Tembusu
Botanic Gardens
Borderless Straits cooking in the Botanic Gardens' Ginger Garden, which swaps a skyline for some of the best planting in the city. There's a separate dining area for guests with dogs. Walk the Gardens first, then let lunch be the reward; it is the one view on this list best seen by day.
