The best floral restaurants and cafés in Singapore

What is it? Inspired by the idyllic gardens of artist Claude Monet’s home in Giverny, this romantic Victorian-style café sits in a colonial building in the middle of Fort Canning Park.

Why we love it: Every corner here is bursting with florals. Burgeoning arrangements perch on ceiling beams, fresh flowers in mismatched hues fill an entire display table, and even the tabletops have blooms pressed beneath clear glass. Paired with a couple of chandeliers, the whole ensemble gives some serious Bridgerton-level opulence. Feast like a queen on breakfast plates of rosti ($23) and smoked salmon miso Benedict ($24), or tuck into mains like grain-fed ribeye ($48) and spicy pan-seared prawn alfredo ($24).

Time Out tip: Those strolling around the hilly nature attraction with their furkids are also welcome to stop by – Le Jardin’s laidback outdoor terrace is pet-friendly.

Address: 5 Cox Terrace, Level 2, Fort Canning Arts Centre, Singapore 179620
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11am-9pm; Sat-Sun 9.30am-9pm

What is it? An autumnal escape with a canopy of maple leaf decor in shades of red, orange, and yellow spread across the entire ceiling. 

Why we love it: We know it technically doesn’t fall under the ‘floral’ category, but this one’s too pretty not to include. While Café Kreams serves Western mains like pasta and chicken chop, it’s the desserts and drinks that you should spend your calories on. Try favourites like the shine muscat shortcake ($13.80) and pistachio matcha-misu ($13.80), and pair them with the popular Korean-style dalgona milk tea ($12) topped with honeycomb toffee crunch.

Time Out tip: Come nightfall, the space transforms into a bar. Golden lagers go for just $8 during happy hour from 5pm to 8pm daily, and there are also fruity beers and somaek in flavours like lychee and yuzu.

Address: 32 Maxwell Rd, #01-07 Maxwell Chambers, Singapore 069115
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 9am-11pm; Sun 11am-10pm

What is it? Yet another Wildseed branch – but arguably the most romantic. It’s set within 1-Flowerhill at Sentosa, where French-Japanese restaurant Camille is also located.

Why we love it: Sitting atop a small hill, the café offers sweeping views of Imbiah’s forestry and even the sea in the distance. Even outside wedding season, oversized centrepieces of blush-hued florals beautify the ceilings of both the al fresco and indoor seating zones, making this an ideal date spot. Drop the nerves – the breezy, laid-back setting, along with a casual menu of avocado toast ($13), truffle brie pizza ($28), and soft shell chilli crab linguine ($29), keeps things stress-free even if you’re here meeting someone special for the first time.

Time Out tip: Tune in to a live band on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7pm, and have some song requests ready while you’re at it.

Address: 6 Imbiah Rd, Singapore 099696
Opening hours: Tue-Fri noon-3pm; Sat-Sun 9am-5pm

What is it? A florist-restaurant concept at Orchard, tucked away from the neverending bustle of the shopping street. Feel like you’re in Alice in Wonderland as you dine amidst giant peony sculptures and floral art on the walls.

Why we love it: You’ve obviously come for the springtime vibes, but stay for the food – it’s surprisingly good for a themed chain. Our faves are the seared tiger prawn with crispy pita ($29), which comes with a splash of slurp-worthy laksa-inspired gravy; and the wholesome signature Gui Zhou tangy soup ($38) that nods to the establishment’s Chinese roots. Unique floral teas ($12) like pineapple oolong and caramel rose rooibos are also a must.

Time Out tip: Diners get a discount on flower purchases. Celebrating a loved one’s special day? The birthday set meal comes with free dessert, two drink choices (inclusive of cocktails!), and a floral bucket arrangement to take home.

Address: 290 Orchard Rd, #01-22 Paragon, Singapore 238859
Opening hours: Daily 11am-10pm

What is it? An unexpected find on the rooftop of Bugis+ with its own garden terrace and princessy interiors – think crystalline chandeliers, sheer window drapes, and even a decorative classical tiered fountain. Oh, and lots and lots of flowers, of course.

Why we love it: The coquette aesthetic is in, and this is the epitome of it. Brunch with the girls? Settled. The daytime menu includes pastas, cakes, and a whole slew of beverages like coconut water americano ($8.50), osmanthus latte ($8.50), strawberry guava jasmine tea ($11.90), and orange hot chocolate ($8.50).

Time Out tip: Let the good times roll late into the night, for the café evolves into a vibrant bar after dinner. Other than hearty steaks and pizzas available till the wee hours, the evening menu also includes gorgeous garden-themed cocktails (from $25) and champagne by the bottle – served with a side of magic shows and cheeky dancing.

Address: 201 Victoria St, #07-04 Bugis+, Singapore 188067
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 11am-1am

What is it? Unless you’re staying at Orchard Rendezvous Hotel, Fleurato isn’t the sort of place you’d randomly chance upon during jaunts in town. Consider our secret spilt.

Why we love it: This isn’t just a cosy spot to rest your feet and refuel with gelato, waffles, and chocolate lava cake in between rounds of mall-crawling. Fleurato also has a little retail corner with trinkets for sale, many of which are from small local businesses. Browse carefully crafted treasures like hand-stitched floral earrings, crystal bracelets, henna-painted purses and more – the line-up’s always rotating.

Time Out tip: The space also doubles up as a workshop venue, so keep an eye out for occasional events such as floral arrangement classes and watercolour painting sessions.

Address: 1 Tanglin Rd, #01-06 Rendezvous Hotel, Singapore 247905
Opening hours: Varies daily, check here

What is it? Not your typical prim and proper fine-dining restaurant, Ce Soir boasts artful botanical installations across its walls – the perfect accompaniment to the flower-adorned morsels whipped up by owner and Michelin Young Chef Award 2024 winner, Seth Lai.

Why we love it: A hodgepodge of French, Japanese, and Southeast Asian influences sounds potentially confusing, but here, it just works. One of the Winter menus we tried and loved was deeply inspired by the chef’s own memories of his hometown of Teluk Intan, though the spread gets switched up every few months to keep the experience fresh.

Time Out tip: Save dinners here for a special occasion – they’re an eight-course splurge at $228. That said, lunch starts from an accessible $68 for three courses, so there’s no reason to miss out.

Address: 5B Portsdown Rd, Unit 01-03, Singapore 139311
Opening hours: Wed-Thu 6.30pm-11pm; Fri-Sun noon-3pm, 6.30pm-11pm
