Where to eat and drink at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport?
Allora Ristorante & Bar, the hotel’s signature dining spot, serves up authentic Italian fare from morning till midnight. Conveniently located on the ground floor with direct access from Terminal 3, Allora charms with its leafy Mediterranean interiors, a lively bar, and a pet-friendly alfresco terrace that feels worlds away from airport buzz.
The menu takes you on a journey from the sophistication of Northern Italy to the sun-soaked flavours of the South. Highlights include the homemade beef ravioli ($36) and burrata-topped anchovy pizza ($39). And the cocktails? Think la dolce vita in a glass. Go for the Spritz of Sorrento ($23), with limoncello and coastal herbs, or the Palazzo ($24), a warm, spiced number inspired by Sicilian festive treats. For something vibrant and herbaceous, the Bellissima ($22) blends Basilicata’s signature amaro, Genoese basil and tropical passionfruit into one tasty sip.
