110+ New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [November 2020]

[Click here for the latest F&B venues to open - LIve Updates]

With more than 70 new restaurants and dozens of new cafes, bakeries, dessert bars and specialty food stores, there was no shortage of action around over the past month.

New players with a first outlet during October 2020, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, include Straits Place 1819, Wagyumore and Hathaway.

It would be remiss of us not t mention two new foodcourts: Singapura Heritage and Makan Empire.

There's also new outlets from Tingkat PeraMakan, Old Tea Hut (sporting a new brand identity) and J.CO Donuts & Coffee.

Newly renovated outlets to have re-opened include Ginger, at ParkRoyal on Beach Road, and Three Peacocks, at Labrador Park.

Our personal favourite, though, is Kebabs Faktory; we are always partial to a shawarma roll and a doner kebab!
