30+ New Restaurants, Cafes and Bar in Singapore [August 2020]
Perhaps not unsurprisingly the rate of new venues slowed this month as brands continue to re-think their market presence in this altered environment.
New players with a first outlet on the block, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, included Leckerbaer, Lucali BYGB and Sago House.
There's re-branded outlets at Riveria Forlino and American Broadway Diner as well as Capital Kitchen, the dining alter-ego of Capital by Zouk.
Our personal favourite, though, is The House of Robert Timms, making a return to our shores after an extended absence.
