Eating is a national hobby in Singapore. It goes without saying that we have many fantastic restaurants. When it comes to eating out, I have two preferred kinds of restaurants. The first is just about food. Service and ambience are not important so long they give me good food.

And of course, the other is all about the ambience. Everyone should spoil themselves a little by celebrating a special occasion in a romantic restaurant. You know, the kind of place where you can bring your partner for a nice date, and have a wonderful dining experience. Luckily for us, there are many romantic restaurants in Singapore with good ambience and view.

Here’s a list of Singapore’s top restaurants with the best romantic views:

Let’s dine with a view!

1-Altitude

With 360-degree sky dining view, the latest creation of the 1 Rochester Group, 1-Altitude is definitely a strong contender for the restaurant with the best view in Singapore. Looking for a place to party after work? Check out the world’s tallest al fresco rooftop bar 1-Altitude.

Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant

In order to get to level 60 of UOB Plaza where Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant is, you need to change two lifts, but trust me, the magnificent view up there is worth the extra effort.

Tian Fu Tea Room, by Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant, boasts the first teahouse concept within a restaurant in Singapore. They have an Imperial High Tea (pairing of 3 different tea and 8 dim sum items) which is ideal for a leisure afternoon. With a great view and the indulgence of tea pairing with dim sum, this is definitely one of the best afternoon tea places in Singapore.
