February is coming up and we all know what that means—romance is once again in the air! Sure, there are plenty of people who would say that Valentine’s Day is just a capitalist concept meant to hypnotise people into buying pretty things that they don’t need. On one hand, it’s true that fluffy teddy bears holding hearts, a dozen red roses that will die anyway, and boxes of chocolates aren’t exactly high on anyone’s list of priorities. On the other hand, what’s the harm in celebrating love?
If you’re lucky enough to have someone in your life, Glitz is here to make sure that you treat them right. Have you planned out how you’ll be spending your Valentine’s Day yet? It’s never too early to start, so be sure to choose the best romantic restaurant in Singapore for Valentine’s Day from our list down below. Take your pick between the affordable, the fancy, and everything in between.
Bring Your Date to the Best Romantic Restaurant in Singapore for Valentine’s Day
Contents
1. Restaurant Gaig
Looking for a subtle hint that you’re ready to settle down and start a family with your Valentine? Bring him or her to Restaurant Gaig, an establishment run by the same family for over 150 years spanning five generations—it doesn’t get any subtler than that. Currently managed by the fifth generation, led by Nuria Gilbert, Restaurant Gaig (pronounced ‘gatch’) serves exquisite Catalan cuisine from recipes passed down the family tree. Try their traditional cannelloni made by Nuria’s father, Michelin Star-winning Chef Carles Gaig, and hope that the history of love and family at Restaurant Gaig will rub off on you and your sweetheart this year.

2. Marguerite
Flowers just scream romance, though let’s all hope that the latter lasts longer. Apart from an amazing contemporary dining experience, flowers are the central theme at Marguerite as they’re located at the breath-taking Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay. Enjoy your lush natural surroundings while indulging in the four or seven-course tasting menus filled with decadence, like the roast and confit Challans duck. Pro tip: if you’re looking to get down on one knee, do so at the Flower Dome after your meal—the flowery greenscape makes for the dreamiest setting possible.

3. Ocean Restaurant
Let’s not forget that nature comes in many colours. If cerulean blue is more your shade, perhaps Southeast Asia’s first underwater dining restaurant is the better backdrop for your Valentine’s dinner. At Ocean Restaurant, bask in the sight of forty thousand magnificent marine creatures gracefully navigating the expanse of the world’s second largest aquarium. Be sure to also have a taste for seafood, as the restaurant’s menu is crafted by Chef Olivier Bellin, a two-star Michelin chef hailing from Brittany, France. Unsurprisingly, the menu features responsibly sourced seafood and locally farmed produce.

Fans of both Italian and Japanese food won’t have to choose between the two cuisines this Valentine’s Day. La D’Oro, led by Chef Yohhei Sasaki, seamlessly fuses the flavours of Italy and Japan into a six and eight-course omakase experience like no other. You and your partner are also invited to indulge in their expansive wine collection, signature desserts, specialty cakes, and pastries—each sweet treat meticulously crafted by a pastry chef from Osaka. La D’Oro might mean the colour ‘gold’ in Italian, but this February, every lovebird is looking through rose-tinted glasses.

That’s where Zorba the Greek Taverna steps in, bringing Santorini Island to you instead in the form of Greek-style alfresco dining. Now located at the waterfront of the Singapore River in Clarke Quay, Zorba serves up authentic Greek cuisine like their hearty Moussaka, succulent Lamb Kebab and juicy Grilled Whole Squid. To all the vegetarians, fret not, as vegetarian dishes are also on the menu.

The saying is “go big or go home,” but what about those who prefer to go high instead? Sky-high in fact, because when you’re having a meal at Cable Car Sky Dining, the sky will serve as your evening’s locale.

8. Underdog Inn
Everyone loves an underdog, so it’s safe to say that the relatively new Underdog Inn is worthy of a try even if it lacks the usual dinner date restaurant vibes. A dimly-lit New York tavern brimming with interesting art decorating the walls above black leather seats, Underdog Inn seems to ooze sex appeal—and isn’t that fitting for Valentine’s Day? Expect food made with open fire by Executive Chef Pete Smit and his team, creatively utilising every part of an animal from land and sea to avoid waste—pig head scrumpet, yum. Make sure your date isn’t the squeamish type before bringing them to this best romantic restaurant in Singapore for Valentine’s Day.
