Fika Swedish Café & Bistro has announced that it will be closing its doors on 14 August 2026 after 17 years, marking the end of an era for the homegrown café that introduced many Singaporeans to authentic Swedish cuisine and the tradition of fika, a leisurely coffee break enjoyed with pastries and good company.
Singapore’s Peking duck scene has never had this much depth. What was once the preserve of hotel Cantonese restaurants has expanded to include Beijing imports, Hong Kong heavyweights and homegrown institutions that have been carving ducks tableside since the 1990s.
Here are seven of our favourites Peking duck restaurants in Singapore, from classics to caviar-topped fine dining.
Tucked away at Serene Centre, Orh Gao Peh Gao is one of those rare concepts that pulls double duty — and does both remarkably well.
Marymount Bakehouse has been on our radar for a while, and it was well worth the wait. Tucked along Race Course Road in Farrer Park, this artisanal sourdough bakery does far more than a standard loaf.
The menu extends well beyond the bread counter, with handmade sourdough pasta, levain pies, and a full café spread, all anchored by naturally fermented dough made from scratch daily.
Hajime Tonkatsu & Ramen has quietly opened its third outlet, this time at Dunearn Village along Bukit Timah Road.
It’s a natural next step for the brand — after building a loyal following at myVillage in Serangoon Gardens since 2016, then expanding to Thomson Plaza in 2019, Bukit Timah residents now have their own neighbourhood spot to get Chef Tan-San’s tonkatsu.
Torikizoku, Japan’s popular izakaya and yakitori chain, is opening in Singapore.
The chain — recognisable by its bright yellow signboard — operates over 600 outlets across Japan, where it built a cult following with a flat-pricing model: every item on the menu, from chicken thigh and breast skewers to rice sets and highballs, goes for 390 yen (roughly SGD 3.50).
Opened by restaurateur & chef Willin Low, Relish is a cosy casual restaurant at Cluny Court which has been serving its regulars for 19 years.
It will be closing its outlet at Cluny Court as the lease is coming to an end and they will not be able to renew it.
