Fancy dining on modern European dishes in the heart of town, minus the markups that take your meal from “fairly reasonable” to “a costly hole in your wallet”? True Cost is the place for you.
Founded on a philosophy of making high-quality food accessible, True Cost made a name for its modern dishes served at cost price – or at least, close to it. All with a breathtaking view of Singapore’s cityscape from its premises in Suntec City Sky Garden.
The catch: an entry fee of $5 – $10 per diner.
The beauty of the seasons is in their ephemeral nature, which makes experiencing them before they are swept away by the winds of change even more precious. The same can be said of the dishes inspired and crafted from each season’s ingredients.
COLK is an intimate Japanese-French restaurant that strives for culinary creativity using the best and freshest ingredients from Ibaraki.
Its menu changes three times a year, in line with the four seasons, and whenever the restaurant can acquire exceptionally good-quality components that warrant a special change.

With Australian and Korean-inspired cafes dominating the local food scene, it’s refreshing to see places like OVERBRØD go against the grain by serving Swedish, Danish, and Norweigan dishes. Especially when most Singaporeans’ primary encounters with said cuisines have been through a certain furniture retail store.
Much like the Scandinavian cuisine it was inspired by, OVERBRØD’s space is on the minimalist, understated side, with dark wood fixtures creating a homely, cozy vibe.
Interestingly, it’s also set up shop outside Anchorpoint Shopping Centre, directly opposite IKEA Alexandra, the OG of Scandinavian delis in Singapore.

When you think of German food, hearty platters, braised meats, and tangy sauerkraut come to mind. This year, Brotzeit puts a healthy spin on their menu, with 24 new dishes, including the all-new Brotzeit FIT which features 7 salad recipes (5 of them new).
Update 19 Jan 2025: Saveur has closed.
It’s difficult to find French food that is both affordable and palatable, especially in the pricier downtown areas. Yet somehow, Saveur at The Cathay has managed to nail these two qualities in its menu throughout the years.
Update 20 Jan 2025: District 10 has closed.
There’s nothing that I love more than a night of good food and good company, and with the newly opened Star Vista a mere three stops away from school, these two things are easily within reach after a long day of classes. C:
