If you’re a paw-rent, you’ll be glad to know that Singapore’s ever-growing list of pet-friendly spots has gained a rather glamorous new addition. Starting June 1, pet owners can bring their furry companions to Raffles Courtyard, the lush alfresco space nestled within Raffles Hotel Singapore.
Unlike places that reserve pet access for the occasional weekend brunch slot, Raffles Courtyard will serve as the hotel’s designated pet-friendly dining venue, meaning owners can swing by throughout the week with their four-legged plus-ones in tow. And it’s rather chill – think breezy open-air setting, tropical greenery and tucked-away garden atmosphere.
Alongside this upgrade, there’s an equally tempting menu refresh. The newly updated menu leans heavily into Southeast Asian comfort food with a polished twist, including Peranakan dishes created alongside private dining chef Grace Kee of Good Graces.
Some dishes that caught our interest? A laksa risotto that takes Singapore’s beloved spicy noodle soup and turns it into a creamy carb situation, topped with charred octopus and bursts of trout roe for extra drama. Then there’s the butterfly blue pea nasi lemak, which arrives in electric blue coconut rice, complete with crispy soft-shell crab.
More reasons to visit: the courtyard is also rolling out a steady line-up of weekly happenings. There’s a $30 set lunch available daily from noon to 2pm, an extended happy hour running from 3pm to 10pm with drinks from $14, smoky Southeast Asian-inspired Grill Nights every Tuesday, and Wine Wednesdays where selected glasses go for $12 – plus a complimentary second bottle with selected wine orders.
