It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to dine out. With the easing of circuit breaker measures, Singaporeans can now look forward to visiting their favourite dining establishments once again in Phase 2 – and enjoy food that’s prepped fresh and served hot.
But it’s also important to note that strict social distancing measures have to be adhered to. Come June 19, each table at restaurants and hawker centres can seat no more than five people, with no mixing between groups. Live music, television, and video screenings are also not be allowed at these places, while the sale and consumption of liquor will have to stop by 10.30pm. If you’re planning to dine-out, remember that you still need a mask when walking around too.
Ahead, we’ve highlighted some top spots around the town that have re-opened, and the various booking instructions for each venue. With the changing rules and regulations, we’ll also recommend ringing up the eatery ahead of time for the most up-to-date information.
