Hilton Singapore Orchard on Orchard Road at dusk
Restaurants

Singapore restaurants & bars opening soon

Edited by Jamie   15 October 2026

Book the yakitori now. Treat everything marked late 2026 as a hope with a press release.

If you want a new dinner booked before the year is out, two openings on this list have firm dates: Petra, a big Mediterranean room on Dempsey Hill, and Torimitsu, a Tokyo yakitori counter doing three months on a mall balcony at Orchard Central. Everything else is announced but undated, so the compromise is patience. Book Torimitsu first; it has 15 seats.

The rest is mostly Orchard Road, which has spent years being told it needs more reasons to stay out after the malls close. NoMad, the New York hotel brand that made its name on bars rather than bedrooms, is bringing four drinking and dining concepts to its first Asia-Pacific hotel. Further out, the Harilela family's boutique hotel brand is converting an Orchard Holiday Inn for spring 2027.

Everything here has been announced by the operator or reported by a credible outlet in 2026, and each entry says plainly what is confirmed and what is not. Opening dates in this city slip, so plan around the dated ones and treat 'late 2026' as a mood. We'll update this page as dates firm up and doors open.

The roundup

  1. Petra's eggplant and zucchini chips

    Petra

    Opens 24 October 2026 · Dempsey

    The one to book first if you want a big, sociable dinner rather than a counter seat. Antonio Miscellaneo of La Bottega and Casa Vostra is behind it, with Anas Shami from Aniba and former Ottolenghi head chef Dawid Nowosadzki in the kitchen, and the 119-seat, 8,000 sq ft room is built around a seafood counter, a bread oven and a grill for meat and fish. Flatbreads and an Ottolenghi-inspired salad spread make it a table that shares well. Prices and booking details haven't been published yet, so check both before you set a date.

  2. Yakitori grilling over charcoal at Torimitsu

    28 October 2026, for three months · Orchard

    The most specific idea on the list: one Tokyo yakitori chef, one charcoal grill and 15 seats for three months. Takuhei Yamada runs Torimitsu, a 13-seat counter in Kagurazaka, and he is taking over Tanuki Raw's fourth-floor balcony at Orchard Central for evening sets of daily-changing skewers, chicken ramen and dessert. With that few seats and a fixed end date, book through Tanuki Raw's website rather than hoping to walk in, and check the set price and booking terms when you do.

    NoMad Grill

    Late 2026 · Orchard

    The anchor of the NoMad opening, and one to wait on rather than plan around. Hilton describes a New York-style chophouse and brasserie built on dry-aged meats over wood fire, with seafood and tableside service, which reads like a special-occasion steak dinner rather than a weeknight one. It sits in the brand's Asia-Pacific debut on Orchard Road, alongside the three bars below. No menu, prices or opening date have been announced, so for now it's a watch-this-space entry; we'll add details as Hilton confirms them.

  1. Artist's impression of The Tropicana Club at NoMad Hilton Singapore: a cabaret room with a singer at the piano

    The Tropicana Club

    Late 2026 · Orchard

    The bar we're most curious about, mainly for the local reference: it takes its cue from 1940s and 1950s Havana cabaret and from Singapore's own Tropicana Club of 1953. Hilton promises classic cocktails, tropical drinks built on Southeast Asian ingredients, and live music and DJs. If it gets the cabaret part right, it could give Orchard Road the late room it keeps being told it lacks. There's no date beyond late 2026, so keep it on the list rather than in the diary.

  2. Artist's impression of Lù Bar at NoMad Hilton Singapore: a poolside bar with shutters and palms

    Lù Bar

    Late 2026 · Orchard

    NoMad's poolside aperitivo bar, wrapped in greenery with design nods to the heron, according to Hilton. Details are thin, but a pool bar for spritzes above Orchard Road is the right answer to a Singapore early evening, when it is still too warm to sit anywhere without water in view. Hold off on plans until Hilton publishes hours and says who can use it; we'll update this entry when it does.

  3. A guest room at The Hari, Singapore

    The Hari Singapore

    Spring 2027 · Orchard

    One for the longer diary. The Harilela family's boutique brand, which has addresses in Belgravia and Wan Chai, is converting the former Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, with interiors by Tara Bernerd. Dining has been announced but no restaurant or bar names have, so there is nothing to book and nothing to judge yet. It's here because spring 2027 is close enough to start watching; we'll add the names when they are announced.
