New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [Nov 2021]
We highlight more than 80 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 October 2021, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, include Safiya, Bailey & Whiskey and Flourish Bakehouse.
There's also new outlets from Wafuken, Flash Coffee and Swee Heng Bakery.
Brands to have found a new home include Black Cow and Kilo Kitchen.
Over on Sentosa Island there's a new food hall, Interim Market.
Our personal favourite, though, is Mezcla, serving up Mexican tacos with a Japanese twist.
