Located at the top of the Marina Bay Sands complex in the Skypark, Sky on 57 has a clean, crisp, modern interior created by black leather furnishings, steel decor, white walls, with glass and wood features dotted throughout. The interior complements the classic French cuisine adapted to incorporate an Asian Influence; suckling pig is mixed with a yuzu pepper sauce, while duck is added to a classic truffle pasta. 

Soak up views over the Singapore Strait, across the city and of the ultra-modern, almost alien, structures of Supertree Grove in Gardens by the Bay, which sparkle at night in Avatar-like lighting.

3. Spuds & Aprons

Budget: $

Secondary rainforest grows over Mount Faber and surrounds the restaurant giving a lush green landscape to accompany your meal. Eat in the air conditioned restaurant or dine al fresco on the Garden Terrace, either offers views of the cable car route and over the water to Sentosa Island.

The rooftop lounge is furnished with slatted wooden tables and elongated trees, giving the ambience of a garden patio – only this one comes with an incredible view. Typical Italian flavours are featured in the dishes (from octopus to sun dried tomatoes and truffles), with the classic desserts of tiramisu and pannacotta available too.
