Carnivore & Dates

As its name suggests, this cosy French-inspired bar and grill serves plenty of grilled meats and seafood. If you're a fan of charcuterie, the Charcuterie Board (from $38) that features divine cured meats, home-made terrine, foie gras and pickles won't disappoint. Otherwise, start off with one (or two) of their moreish Alsatian Tartes Flambées ($15) – The Classic, studded with bacon bits and onions, sounds simple but will surely hit all the right spots. Regardless of which protein you pick – roasted Free Range Yellow Chicken ($26), Grilled Leg of Lamb ($38) or Stockyard Wagyu Hanger ($42), be sure to add the Ravioles “Royan” ($12) for some insanely addictive mini ravioli filled with wild mushrooms and shallots in a creamy aged Gruyère sauce. The heartier portions here is ideal for dining with a group of friends.

Set on the buzzing Keong Saik St, Kok Sen is easy to overlook as just another coffeeshop. Expect amazing Claypot Yong Tau Fu, Big Prawn Bee Hoon, and Black Pepper Beef with Bitter Gourd. This is one of those places you bring your parents to for a nice dinner, even though it's a humble little restaurant. Be prepared for slightly higher prices, it's totally worth it though!

Pillows of chocolate and caramel mouse on a chocolate biscuit-cake base, surrounded by buttery crumble and adorned with berries. A bigger portion would've been nice.

You can go creative with this insanely tasty Peanut Butter Banana French Toast, drizzled with maple syrup and roasted walnuts x add on streaky bacons at the side.

Hungarian Mangalica Pork Collar Kebab grilled over Binchotan (White Japanese Charcoal). Served with Paprika Fries and Tsatziki. Yums!

Beef short ribs, bovril, daikon, bonito. The beef was SOOOO good, a few mouthfuls were slick with rich, buttery, fatty bits that melted in the mouth like a dream. The daikon fries, however, were tasteless and did nothing for me.

Expect playful Asian twists on French dishes such as wagyu beef skewers, and whole grilled squid. The bar is well stocked with wines from everywhere, and the ambience perfect for a casual night out.

In this new urban/edgy/bare brick Tras St spot, having Italian for dinner has gotten a lot more fun. Don't miss the Pulled Pork & Waffle fries ($15), homemade Gnocchi ($21), and the (omg wait for it) - Triple Cheese & Truffle Toasty at $15. Finish with a gorgeous Cannoli with ricotta, lemon and strawberry.

Showcasing traditional wood-fired oven pizza (no gas chambers, here) made with an inherited secret recipe of pizza dough from one of the oldest pizzarias back in Italy, you know they’re serious about its food. A classic pizza consisting of three ingredients: tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil, the margherita pizza ($19.90) uses fresh buffalo mozzarella flown in three times a week from the volcanic region of Campania—where the cheese in the best Neopolitan pizzas are from. One bite is all it takes to know we’ve found the pizzeria in town.

Heading the kitchen at OSO is Chef Diego Chiarini, formerly of world leading Italian restaurant Bice, Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Chef Diego believes that guests should only experience a dish with the correct ingredients. The handmade fettuccine with de-shelled baby lobster ($34) is such a creation. Al dente with just the right amount of turgidity to add bite, the handmade pasta is accompanied by sweet and succulent baby lobster meat with a full-bodied tomato sauce made of San Marzano tomatoes (the best Italian plum tomatoes) with a light sprinkle of basil.

Along the bustling streets of Club Street is a hidden gem in the form of Italian restaurant Cugini. Believing in good homemade food, this five-year-old trattoria takes pride in using quality ingredients imported from all over the world. For the best squid ink pasta in town, look no further. Expect a burst of flavors in your mouth with the squid ink fettuccine ($27.90) with seafood, green pea puree and mullet roe. Made with extra yolk, the fettuccine pasta is richer, with a touch of homemade bottarga sauce (a Mediterranean delicacy made of mullet roe) that gels everything together.
