New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [Dec 2022]
We highlight more than 60 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 November 2022, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, include Gogipan, Oche and Puzzle Coffee.
There's also new outlets from Burgs, Sourbombe Bakery and Juz Scooop.
Our personal favourite, though, is Jurassic Nest Food Hall located within Supergrove at Gardens by the Bay, hosting outlets from local brands such as Bismillah Biryani, Hawker Chan, Tsuta, Took Lae Dee and Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang.
