This plant-based bar and restaurant is a future-forward member of Singapore’s royal list of best bars. Helmed by Native’s wunderkind Vijay Mudaliar, this bar relies on environmentally conscious substitutes – or analogues, as they call it – to present classic things in mindful and delicious new ways. In doing so, Analogue has created a bar experience that cannot be replicated.
Take its exciting drinks menu, for starters. Try inventive cocktails such as Blue Magic made with blue spirulina, jasmine kombucha, Goji berries, liquorice, and black cardamom – which raises a toast to algae as a renewable energy source. Other creative drinks include Soursop, which uses vegan honey as a replacement for real (and over-farmed) honey.
Don’t forget to line the stomach with its equally unique dishes. Favourites include the berbere-spiced jackfruit tacos with bottle gourd, which put a twist on underused local produce. We’re also fans of the black trumpet mushroom arancini with artichoke soy milk cream, and the nori fries with smoked beetroot ketchup.
And while you’re revelling in all the food and drink, you’ll be doing the same of the striking space. The bar’s interior features a 3D-printed countertop made with over 1,600kg of used plastic designed to look like it weaves and wraps around ornate columns.
