40+ New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [July 2020]

The end of the circuit breaker returned some sense of normality, with new venues previously placed on hold starting to emerge after a period of hibernation.

New players with a first outlet on the block, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, included the Laut, Burata Joy, Little Wola Cafe and Orchard Food Market.

There's new outlets from Dian Xiao Er, Cedele Bakery Cafe and Eccellente by HAO Mart.

Our personal favourite, though, is Kotuwa, serving up spicy Sri Lankan curries, sambols and rice dishes. The restaurant started life as delivery-only service - as many others - through Cloudstreet as they prepared for a new home at Wanderlust Hotel in the near future.

Here's a review of what to look for on your culinary and entertainment journey around town during July.
