70+ New Restaurants, Cafes and Bars in Singapore [October 2020]

[Click here for the latest F&B venues to open - LIve Updates]

The signs are there that the flow of new food and beverage outlets is starting to climb back towards pre-lockdown levels.

New players with a first outlet on the block during September 2020, which are highlighted with a [NEW] prefix in the listing below, include Tang Lung Restaurant, Ginza Shinto, See You Latte and Flash Coffee.

There's also new outlets from Go Noodle House, 108 Matcha Saro and Chateraise.

Our personal favourite, though, is Tigerlily Patisserie, as Chef Maxime demonstrates success requires persistence and unwavering self-belief.
