Most romantic restaurants in Singapore:
1. Mosella
Looking to book a romantic meal with a unique menu? Check out the Peruvian-Mediterranean flavours at Mosella, an upscale restaurant on Orchard with an open kitchen and panoramic views through triple-height floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s an a la carte offering or keep your eyes on each other and go with the three-course set dinner ($88) and two-course set lunch ($48) featuring a choice of dishes.

For a luxe experience opt for the delectable wine pairing. Book here.
Mosella, Pan Pacific Orchard 10 Claymore Rd Singapore 229540, Tel: (+65) 6991 6888, panpacific.com/orchard
2. Brasserie Astoria
Brasserie Astoria by Swedish chef Björn Frantzén and the team who brought us three Michelin-star fine dining restaurant Zén is a fairly new restaurant, but it’s a hot fave for date night, thanks to its romantic setting. It’s billed as more of an accessible brasserie, but this is one fancy-pants dining establishment set in the iconic Victoria Concert Hall with its tall ceilings, low lighting and massive original colonnades. Treat your partner to a romantic evening to remember when you order from the flambé trolleys (order the Whiskey flambéed Beef and choose between Angus $68 or Wagyu $110 to experience this in all its theatrical glory).
Brasserie Astoria, 11 Empress Place 01-01, Singapore 179558
3. Aniba
We love how Aniba has a secret entrance, making date night feel a little naughty! Aniba is a modern Middle Eastern restaurant by the same folks behind one of our fave buzzing restaurants, North Miznon. Aniba has an altogether different feel. This low-lit restaurant gives romantic vibes, and the Middle Eastern food is top notch too, making it a great choice for a romantic dinner with your special someone.

4. Madame Fan
Madame Fan is a fine-dining Chinese restaurant by acclaimed London-based restaurateur Alan Yau, the man behind world-famous Hakkasan. Tables are smaller than the usual Chinese placements, making this low-lit dinner spot with striking red and black decor more of an intimate affair, perfect for a romantic dinner a deux. If you and your date are dim sum fans (we can relate), but you’re looking for more of an upmarket dinner with romantic vibes, this is it! Tuck into traditional Chinese fare served in a modern way —from Boston Lobster with noodles to Crispy Aromatic Duck with pancakes, and the standout Pepper Beef, Australian Rib-eye beef, Sarawak black pepper.
Madame Fan, 32 Beach Road, The NCO Club, Singapore 189764
5. Claudine
Tucked in the green of Dempsey, French fine-dining Claudine makes for a great romantic restaurant in Singapore, thanks to its elevated cuisine and stunning digs in a preserved colonial chapel.

This is where to head to celebrate special occasions like that anniversary dinner. Start with Foie Gras and Brioche ($48) and Lobster Salad ($38), then share the Kampot Steak Flambé ($178) for two which is prepared tableside for extra theatrics (and served with bone marrow and pommes frites).
