40+ New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [Aug 2021]

Despite a stop-start period new restaurants, cafes, bakeries, dessert bars and specialty food stores have continued to open their doors around town over the past month.

New players with a first outlet during July 2021, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, include Boeuf, Nae:um and Wunderfolks.

There's also new outlets from Paradise Teochew, Artea and Nasty Cookie.

A number of players have showcased new concepts, including: Sapporo Misono (from Keisuke F&B Group), White Express (from White Restaurant), Wild Child Pizzette (from same folks behind Cicheti) and Onda (from Park Bench Deli).

Our personal favourite, though, is Sourbombe Bakery: serving up Italian-style bomboloni doughnuts and lattes, for when you want to treat yourself!
