Here are 10 delicious hotspots that Raffles City Singapore has to offer:
Mensho Tokyo
Raffles City Singapore #03-43
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
The famed Mensho Tokyo has arrived in Singapore, offering a ramen experience that artfully combines tradition with innovation.
Helmed by the famed Tomoharu Shono, the award-winning restaurant presents a culinary philosophy that emphasises balance across the five key elements of ramen.
Oh, Duck Matcha Ramen? Interesting.
The bowl got me curious for its combination of matcha-infused chicken broth and tender duck chashu. The addition of whipped cream seems peculiar, yet it adds an unexpected creaminess.
If you would like something more conventional, there is the signature Toripaitan which takes a more indulgent route, featuring multiple types of meat like A5 Wagyu, smoked pork, and duck chashu.
Though known for its inventive dishes, Mensho Tokyo does not shy away from local influences, as evidenced by the Chilli Crab Ramen.
This Singapore-exclusive creation is a fusion of Japanese ramen and the beloved local chilli crab, with a delicately spiced rempah added to the creamy chicken broth.
The dish manages to capture the familiar heat and tang of chilli crab while still delivering the comfort of a classic ramen bowl.
MoVida Original
Raffles City Singapore #03-43
Opening Hours: 12pm – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
MoVida is widely regarded as one of Melbourne’s best and credited for sparking the city’s enduring love for modern Spanish cuisine.
You can now savour the food at MoVida Original – bringing a slice of Melbourne’s modern Spanish cuisine to Raffles City Singapore.
Helmed by Chef Frank Camorra, the tapas selection shines with the Croqueta ($9), which impresses with its crunchy exterior and creamy leek and lobster-filled centre.
The buttery Tartaleta ($9) filled with chicken liver parfait offers a delicate balance of richness and smoothness in a Brik pastry tart, making it a memorable bite. Must order.
For heartier options, I would recommend the Paella De Señorito ($75) which offers a solid take on the classic dish, featuring bomba rice and a medley of seafood like smoked prawns, calamari, and fish.
Casa Vostra
Raffles City Singapore #01-49/50/51
Opening Hours: 11:30am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
Casa Vostra offers a homey yet refined Italian dining experience, offering famed pizzas, pastas and an extensive Italian dining menu.
Chef Antonio Miscellaneo’s commitment to quality is evident throughout the menu, where house-made pizza and pasta take centre stage.
The Newpolitan Pizza ($15 – $28) is crafted from a meticulously developed dough that ferments over 36 hours and is baked in a wood-fired oven for a deliciously crispy yet airy crust.
My recommendation? The Tartufo e Funghi Pizza ($28) topped with ingredients like Fior di Latte and freshly shaved black truffle, which delivers an indulgent bite, with flavours that manage to be both earthy and delicate.
The pasta offerings at Casa Vostra also impresses – you can watch the chefs make the pastas on the spot. Go for the Crab Tagliatelle ($26), which features generous chunks of jumbo crab meat in a well-executed tomato confit sauce.
The combination of olive oil, garlic, and basil makes for a fragrant and deeply satisfying dish.
CHAGEE
Raffles City Singapore #01-15
Opening Hours: 10am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
The popular CHAGEE has opened at Raffles City Singapore, for those who crave for a refreshing and fragrant drink.
With so many choices, I would say go for their signature Jasmine Green Milk Tea which is brewed with carefully selected Jasmine tea leaves through a multi-stage process.
The result is a drink that feels light and pure, with each sip delivering delicate floral notes balanced by the creaminess of quality dairy.
I liked that it is smooth with just a subtle sweetness on the palate without being overpowering.
Or get the Ceylon Milk Tea which offers a beautiful blend of bold, full-bodied flavors with a smooth, creamy texture.
The tea’s brisk, robust character is complemented with the use of quality dairy, enhancing its natural sweetness.
Prego
Level 1, Fairmont Singapore
Opening Hours:12pm – 10:30pm (Mon – Sun)
Prego at Fairmont Singapore is known to charm diners with its authentic Italian cuisine, now elevated by the creativity of Italian Chef Davide Bizzarri.
So, if you have not been there in a while, it’s time to.
His signature Cappuccino di Funghi ($22) is a playful yet elegant dish, served in a coffee cup and consists ofa rich, velvety porcini mushroom soup with truffle oil foam and seasonal truffle shavings.
Chef Davide’s personal touch is equally evident in the pasta and pizza offerings. The Linguine Astice e Burrata ($58) is a luxurious creation featuring homemade linguine in a rich lobster bisque, complemented by Boston lobster and an unexpected pairing of burrata cheese.
Or have the Casarecce alle Costine e Tartufo ($38), a comforting dish of homemade twisted short pasta with 24 hour braised short rib ragout,, finished with mascarpone and seasonal truffle.
If you are craving for a wood-fired pizza, have the Sapori di Bosco ($44) inspired by Chef Davide’s childhood in the Garfagnana mountains.
Enjoy that burst of earthy flavours with its garlic cream base, porcini mushrooms, pancetta, and truffle slices.
Wo Wo Dian 窝窝店 百年包子
Raffles City Singapore #B1-13 to 15
Opening Hours: 11:30am – 9pm (Mon – Thurs), 11:30am – 10pm (Fri – Sun)
Wo Wo Dian offers a hearty taste from Mianyang, China, with over 130 years of culinary history embedded in its recipes.
Do you know that the Traditional Pork Bun ($8.90) is based on a recipe more than a century old?
With a slightly chewy exterior, the pork is lightly seasoned inside, which prevents it from feeling too heavy.
For those craving bolder flavours, get the Traditional Sauce Pork Bun ($7.90) with juicy pork cooked in a rich in-house sauce.
The larger dishes also impress, particularly the Boiled Pork Belly with Spicy Sauce ($25.90). Get your phone camera ready as the sizzling oil is poured over the tender pork belly.
Guo Li Xiang 锅里香
Raffles City Singapore #B1-06 to 07
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
For a hotpot meal with a difference, head over to Guo Li Xiang which offers a Chinese Claypot Hotpot experience.
Have you ever had the Signature Beef Brisket Claypot Hotpot before?
It begins with a rich, deeply flavoured claypot stew ($35.80 for 2 pax), slow-cooked for over 8 hours.
As the meal progresses, it smoothly transitions into a hotpot where you can add an array of fresh ingredients.
Recommended additions include the Egg Bomb, XL Youtiao, Soy Ring Roll, Hand-sliced Chuck Eye, Hand-sliced Iberico Pork Belly, Coconut Prawn Paste, and more.
My personal favourite is the Egg Bomb – crispy on the outside but perfectly soaked with the hearty broth on the inside.
Shiok Burger 新奇汉堡
Raffles City Singapore #B1-79
Opening Hours: 11am – 9:30pm (Mon – Sun)
Shiok Burger is for those seeking an exciting fusion of Eastern and Western burger flavours at wallet-friendly prices.

Burger options range from the Mala (from $2.99), Spicy Chicken ($5.75), Classic Wagyu ($7.99), Ebiko ($6.75), to the Mala Wagyu ($7.99).
Among the highlights, the favourite is the Mala Burger for its spicy twist on the classic chicken burger, featuring a crispy patty coated in a mildly fiery sauce that delivers a slow-building heat perfect for spice lovers.
Top up to enjoy a set that includes a drink and fries or potato tater tots.
Tipsy Flamingo

Entering Tipsy Flamingo feels like stepping into an upbeat 80s beach party.
This vibrant spot draws inspiration from the bold and colourful atmosphere of retro summer pool parties.
The menu at Tipsy Flamingo features a delightful mix of Spanish classics, signature dishes and drinks from the Tipsy Collective.
For sharing, get the Paella de Mariscos ($36), a generous serving of baked mussels, prawns, Japanese scallops, and battered calamari, all on a bed of fragrant Spanish rice topped with garlic aioli. Ideal for sharing between couples or small groups.
Another must-try is the Chuletas de Cerdo ($36), an XL pork chop infused with Manchego cheese and paired with a spicy harissa sauce, offering rich Spanish flavours with a touch of North African heat.

Exciting and finally. Check out the brand-new Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, which brings an authentic taste of Kyoto’s famed beef cutlets to Singapore.
