New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [March 2021]

With more than 60 new restaurants and dozens of new cafes, bakeries, dessert bars and specialty food stores, there was no shortage of action around town over the past month.

New players with a first outlet during February 2021, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, include Clos Pasoh, Ballad of Anna May and Inside Scoop.

There's also new outlets from Poulet, Potato Corner and Paris Baguette.

Our personal favourite, though, is Kulto; serving up modern Spanish cuisine.
