The only international outpost of the two-Michelin-starred Zeniya in Kanazawa, this refined Kaga kaiseki restaurant now calls Shaw Centre home, joining the ranks of Les Amis Group’s most prestigious concepts. Available for both lunch ($138/$288) or dinner ($288/$388), the menu changes seasonally, as you’d expect. All ingredients are flown in straight from Kanazawa’s historic Omicho Market, except for the water. Uni and kegani (horsehair crab) might open your meal with a burst of briny sweetness against the tang of tozasu vinegared jelly; you might be treated to nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch); and your meal might end with rice doused in kanou-gani (snow crab), cooked in a thick and rich dashi sauce. Whatever ends up on your menu, we’re confident you’ll enjoy it. Sommelier-selected sake of the day is available in 90ml ($30) or 180ml ($58) pours, or opt for the sake pairing for $118 for four glasses.
Singapore’s dining scene moves at breakneck speed – some 300 or so new restaurants open each month. That’s nearly 10 a day. Let that sink in for a bit. Even for a city that’s already one of the world’s best for food, that number is still on all accounts, quite staggering.
With so many new spots popping up, we’re on a mission to track down the tastiest, most innovative, and value-for-money spots in town. Whether it’s your favourite chef making waves with a fresh concept, or a new but undiscovered restaurant that deserves some time in the spotlight, our nifty list has got it all. Without further ado, here are the best new restaurants in Singapore to visit this year – all tried, tested, and approved by the Time Out team.
