The sexiest restaurants in Singapore

WHAT IS IT The cavernous location is split into four thematic sections flexing dreamy, movie set-like space oozing major Wes Anderson vibes. Splashed with everything they admire about the culture with a dazzling reinterpretation of Indian cuisine, sparks will definitely fly.

SEX APPEAL A handsome Officer's salon with antique rifles and plush mahogany armchairs or elope away in the Old Railway Room that is reminiscent of the grand Orient Express. While the Elephant Palace dazzles with its quiet opulence, designed with the blue room of the Udaipur City Palace in mind. Nestled deep within is the Jungle Lodge, a lush tropical landscape of dramatic greens and framed tiger photos. 

WHAT IS IT Jigger & Pony’s latest concept, Rosemead, is a conceptual attempt at convivial communion new age fine-dining. Wine and dine with your significant other and marvel at chefs preparing your food in the custom-built open-hearth kitchen over the open flames.

SEX APPEAL Set in the grand Quadrant at Cecil for communions over modern Californian fine-dining, the tall ceilings and airy dining room finished with earthy wood tones, cushy furnishings, and sturdy tables exude the luxury of a Californian country retreat. It's about time to get Californian livin'.

WHAT IS IT A modern steakhouse at Raffles Hotel Singapore that puts a twist on the usual chophouse finds. And don’t expect the usual cliches of white tablecloths and starched uniforms; the experience here is fun, sexy, and mysterious. 

SEX APPEAL It gets its vibe from the cobalt blue walls, juxtaposed against dark wood panels, floors, and tables. Cosy dining nooks and dim lighting help lend more drama, and the adjoining grand cellar even comes with over 200 labels of wine to help toast to a sultry night ahead. 

WHAT IS IT Colony at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore offers lavish buffet spreads, served in an elegant setting. 

SEX APPEAL Maps with old cursive, old black and white photographs, and postcards hung strategically to section off the dining room into intimate little nooks. Ask for seats at one of their booths – it feels a lot like you've booked into a cabin in a luxury steam train. 

WHAT IS IT Housed in The NCO Club, Madame Fan is a sexy Chinese restaurant by Alan Yau, the restaurateur behind the Wagamama brand in the United Kingdom. Here, traditional, comforting flavours of the cuisine come presented in a sleek, stylish environment. 

SEX APPEAL The cabaret-inspired space comes decorated with sensual touches – intimate table settings, plush carpet, and romantic lighting. 

WHAT IS IT A seafood-focused restaurant and grill bar by chef Andrew Walsh (of Butchers Boy and Bao Boy fame). The playful menu spotlights the freshest catch, dressed in a variety of cooking styles that are always unexpected, and scrumptious. 

SEX APPEAL This is one catfish we wouldn’t mind encountering. The high ceiling lets in plenty of natural light when the sun is up, while lush potted plants and olive finishings bring out a soothing, tropical charm. At sundown, the lights are dimmed, and the 43-seater eatery turns into a cosy, romantic hideout.

WHAT IS IT The Singapore outpost of mod-Chinese restaurant, Mott32. Dining here is a sexy, luxurious affair, with drama running through both the interior and food. Ring ahead to reserve the iconic applewood roasted duck ($108), or sample parcels of plump siew mai ($9 for two) stuffed with Iberico pork and soft-boiled quail egg. 

SEX APPEAL The restaurant is opulently decorated by starchitect Joyce Wang, who is known for her award-winning interiors. Peacock chairs, apothecary drawers, and overhanging Chinese lanterns nod to the restaurant’s oriental roots, while industrial finishings and mod furniture like plush mint sofas give the dimly lit dining room a contemporary allure.

WHAT IS IT Cloudstreet is a pure expression of who chef Rishi Naleendra is. The food served is a remix of his memories and heritage; it’s apparent from the first bite, where grilled oysters come swimming in a pool of coconut milk, right down to the underrated bread course mixed with local stout and liquorice. 

SEX APPEAL From the moment you step foot into Cloudstreet, the seductive painting of a woman in a state of undress beckons you. The cavernous space is dark, sensual, and lush – decked out in magnificent floral arrangements and an eclectic mix of furniture, all armed to charm. 

WHAT IS IT This well-loved izakaya might have since closed its Keong Saik outlet, but Neon Pigeon has since found a new coop along Carpenter Street. Expect mod-jam sharing plates and cocktails to boot. 

SEX APPEAL Raw concrete furnishing and mood lighting help lend a crunchy charm to the space. Walls come splashed with edgy graffiti art, and the raw bar serves up seasonal catch of Kumamoto oysters ($16 for two), and more.
