New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [Aug 2022]
We highlight more than 90 new restaurants, cafes, bakeries, dessert bars and specialty food stores that have opened around town over the past month.
New players with a first outlet during July 2022, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, include Fish & Bones, NOmster and The Apricus Cafe.
There's also new outlets from Ayam Penyet President, Greendot and Toast Box.
Our personal favourite, though, is Well Collective, serving up Japanese-style bakes and izakaya plates at night.
