Singapore Waterfront Dining Restaurants

Singapore’s National Day falls on 9 August, next Tuesday!

Together with my list of Romantic Restaurants with the best views, this post on the Waterfront dining restaurants in Singapore will provide you more options on where to dine at.

Here are some of the best places to watch fireworks in Singapore.

Waterfront Dining Restaurants at Customs House, Esplanade Mall, Fullerton Bay Hotel, Marina Bay Sands, Marina Bay Link centre and One Fullerton are easily the best places to watch fireworks during National Day Parade, Chinese New Year and New Year’s Eve.

Al Dente Trattoria

Besides Orgo Bar, Al Dente Trattoria is perhaps the next best spot in Esplanade Mall to watch fireworks (without squeezing with the crowd).

Akari Dining Bar

Akari Dining & Bar

Akari Dining & Bar at Marina Bay Link Mall is under the same management as Tomo Izakaya. The al fresco area of the Japanese restaurant has an unobstructed view of the Marina Bay – shall we watch fireworks while eating sushi and sashimi?

Forlino recently introduced a Gourmet Weekend Brunch at $58++. Start with 5 of Forlino’s signature appetisers and antipasti served family-style at the table; continue with a duck leg confit or wagyu beef cheek; and end with a dessert of the day.

Sorry I digress. But I am sure all of you know about the fine dining Italian restaurant at the swanky One Fullerton, what else can be said? Romantic restaurant, good Italian food, excellent view of Marina Bay — please call and reserve a table for National day and Singapore Formula one!

One on the Bund Restaurant

Restaurants at One Fullerton and the Esplanade area that offer the romantic view to couples are a dime a dozen, but it is at Clifford Pier that you would feel truly special – there’s only one restaurant in the whole pier.

One on the Bund is a gorgeous restaurant. Understandably, beautiful restaurants come at a price. Be prepare to pay for the food, and in return, you would get an amazing view of Marina Bay and of course, the fireworks on National day.

Paradise Pavilion

I went to Paradise Pavilion for dim sum recently, and I love the restaurant! It has since replaced Taste Paradise (under the same group) in my top 3 favourite dim sum restaurants in Singapore.
