A curated list of restaurants according to any type of occasion — from romantic date nights to girl's nights.


With the ease&nbsp;of heightened alert in Singapore&nbsp;espcially with the allowance of larger groups of five diners after July 12,&nbsp;dining in at restaurants is finally an option.&nbsp;This means it&rsquo;s time to put away the Domino pizza coupons, delivery food apps, comfy sweats, and step outside to support establishments&nbsp;that have been busy sprucing up their menus and redecorating their interiors during the very dry month.

If you wish to spend a special occasion indoors and are simply at a loss of where to go with this newfound freedom, fret not &ndash; because we have taken the liberty of curating a list of several restaurants for every&nbsp;special occasion.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Reinventing the local palette with Asian flavours in mind, C&Eacute; LA VI group executive Chef Joey Sergentakis reconceptualised the restaurant&#39;s&nbsp;menu with playful, sharing-friendly dishes that incorporate flavours and ingredients from across Asia.

With a bonus view of the city skyline set above 57 levels, this romantic dinner date will be one to remember.&nbsp;

With a diverse array of small, large, and premium sharing plates to offer, the highlights include Grilled Freemantle Octopus ($32) with Taiwanese glaze and green chilli-coriander coulis, a 300g Cast Iron Roasted Tuwinga Black Angus Beef Ribeye ($78) served with salted Kampot peppercorns, grilled pineapple and topped with a refreshing mint-basil salad and a 1kg Rice Flake Crusted Whole Lobster ($228) accompanied by bell pepper and pineapple fricassee with Chinese Sausage and sour-spicy ginger reduction.&nbsp;

Boy&#39;s Night Out&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Carne

&nbsp;

Nothing makes a boy&rsquo;s night out quite like a couple of hearty hamburgers in hand. What better than CARNE&rsquo;s new and improved menu,&nbsp;now packed with Mother Earth&rsquo;s finest natural umami flavours combined with Chef Mauro Colagreco&rsquo;s R&amp;D team of Mirazur &ndash; the current #1 restaurant on World&rsquo;s 50 Best Restaurant list.&nbsp;

After three months of &ldquo;beefed-up&rdquo; research focusing on intensifying taste and lowering carbon footprint, CARNE&rsquo;s juicy burger patty is made of only the best grass-fed, hormone-free beef from free-range cattle pasture-fed on some of the most pristine, untouched lands in Australia.

Queue CARNE&rsquo;s perfectly embodied Singapore-exclusive Grilled Beef and double mushrooms burger ($23), comprising of succulent shiitake mushroom cooked a la plancha in garlic-parsley oil, a fine duxelles of oyster and shiitake mushrooms mixed with sweet roasted onions, and an antibiotic- and hormone-free grass-fed beef patty, accented by natural cheddar, a smear of confit garlic mayo, and pops of tanginess from pickled pearl onions.

Their Beef &amp; Chimichurri Burger ($22.50) now boasts even more nuanced flavours, with mouth-watering flavours of the chimichurri sauce&nbsp;made of herbs, aromatics, and a tinge of the South American aji molido chili meeting the bright-tasting notes of classic Argentinian criolla salsa.

The purist stack of CARNE&rsquo;s Classic Burger ($18.80) is loaded with even more flavours of nature. In between the fluffy brioche buns with grass-fed beef, local oak lettuce, and red onion are fresh slices of glutamic acid-rich Heirloom Black Russian tomatoes grown in organic and chemical-free farms, with&nbsp;a housemade tomato tapenade added for tangy punch after.

Feeling meaty? Indulge in Zafferano&rsquo;s expanded selection of premium beef and lamb cooked to perfection on a charcoal grill. Enjoy an&nbsp;Australian bone-in ribeye ($248++ for 900g; serves 3 to 4) and striploin ($108++ for 600g; serves 2) from 31-day dry-aged Vintage Galiciana beef, with offerings of a bold and rich flavour and well-distributed marbling.&nbsp;

If you want to opt for a more decadent option, explore the three different wagyu choices with rich and defined marbling Zafferano has to offer. From the full blood, A4 Kagoshima wagyu striploin ($148++ for 160g) said to be the grand champion of the Wagyu Olympics&nbsp;to the succulent Australian MBS4-5 Sher wagyu tenderloin ($78++ for 200g). Or even the MBS 6/7 Jac Wagyu striploin ($78++) offered as a main course with white corn cream, rapini, and finished with green pepper jus.

Travel to a Country&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Canchita&nbsp;Peruvian Cuisine

Transport yourself to the rugged, biodiverse landscape of the Amazon rainforest at Canchita&rsquo;s nature-forward space. Found&nbsp;along the edge of the forest in Dempsey Hill while feasting on the vibrant gastronomy of Venezuala, Argentina, Columbia, Peru and the beautiful Carribbean island of Puerto Rico, this&nbsp;Great Latin American Takeover invites you to a month-long food fiesta to commemorate the independence days of several Latin American nations without needing to leave Singapore.

Look forward to tasting&nbsp;Venezuela&#39;s national dish &ndash; La Reina Pepiada ($16++);&nbsp;griddled maize cakes stuffed with zesty chicken and avocado mayonnaise,&nbsp;Argentinian Rib Eye ($48++)&nbsp;served with salsa criolla, thick potato fries, and salad,&nbsp;Bandeja Paisa ($38++);&nbsp;a traditional Colombian platter overflowing with pork belly, chorizo, beans, sunny side up egg, plantain (banana), avocado, arepa, and rice as well as the Pernil Asado ($38++) featuring crispy pork marinated with Puerto Rican Adobo that is served with rice and beans.

To conclude&nbsp;the month-long festivities celebrating&nbsp;the 200 years of Peru&rsquo;s Independence, you can look forward to an array of dishes inspired by the melting pot of cultures found in Peru such as Inca, Spanish, African, Chinese, Andean and Japanese.

Highlights include a Peruvian representation of our&nbsp;familiar Chinese stir-fried noodles&nbsp;in the form of the Tallarines Saltados &quot;Chifa&quot; ($38++)&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;a classic that was first introduced by Chinese immigrants to Peru, or the Salmon Tiradito &quot;Nikkei&quot; ($32++) featuring marinated salmon served with mirin tiger&#39;s milk, wasabi mayo, and crispy sweet potato.

With ingredients sourced close to home and enlivened with fervent fermentation, the menu consists of influences from&nbsp;the Amazon,&nbsp;Brazil, and Asia.&nbsp;

Highlights include the P&atilde;o de Queijo ($12), a cross between a classic Brazilian snack of cheese bread that is updated with punchier flavours from folding in fermented tapioca pulp and a special blend of cheese, and refreshing tomato and chilli sambal inspired by a local&#39;s love for ketchup and chilli.

Moqueca ($37) is a traditional Brazilian seafood stew brimming with an assortment of seafood and packed with punchy yet pleasing flavours that are delicious as it is. Typically served in Brazil with farofa &mdash; a toasted cassava mixture &mdash; they&nbsp;switch it up with a toasted banana oats farofa&nbsp;inspired by Singapore&#39;s cereal prawns.

With over a selection of 35 labels and Asian-inspired &ldquo;Kampong Cocktail&rsquo;,&nbsp;unique concoctions such as the Spiced Pineapple Calamansi (S$20) &mdash; a tropical dark rum punch that packs its heat from a house-fermented red chilli and local honey concoction,&nbsp;Pandan Coconut Milk Punch (S$20)&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;a smooth, rounded clarified cocktail that brings together household fragrances of pandan and coconut with leftover steamed milk from frothing cappuccinos and a pandan kueh for garnish; and The Butcher&#39;s Bloody Mary (S$20) that brings vodka back to &quot;the beginning of sambal&quot; with a flavourful house-made salsa that has&nbsp;been repurposed and strained from a tomato and chilli sambal from the kitchen.
