Dining your way around the precinct requires some planning and is best done on an empty stomach.

 Dining at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore

Enjoy a delectable array of dining selections, with five restaurants and bars to discover.

 Town Restaurant

Town Restaurant is the perfect choice for a power breakfast, business lunch or pre-theatre dinner and renowned for redefining the buffet, with a choice of international, Asian and gourmet seafood dishes. If you’re in town over the weekend don’t miss the lavish Sunday Champagne brunch.

Must-tries: everyone’s favourite is the Town Laksa – delicious noodles in a spicy flavourful coconut broth. Also try what is often touted as Singapore’s national dish – the Hainanese chicken rice, with tender poached chicken, aromatic rice and a garlic chilli dip. A luxe take on a perennial local favourite, the Lobster Nasi Lemak marries a whole succulent lobster with coconut scented rice.

 Jade

With more than 10 years at the fore of Singapore’s Cantonese cuisine scene, Jade’s refurbished interior includes specially commissioned wallpaper, evocative lantern lighting, private rooms and a jade colour palette – all of which provide a picture-perfect backdrop for the exquisite Cantonese flavours on the menu.

Must-tries: dim sum served in piping hot traditional bamboo baskets; simmered egg noodles with Boston lobster and X.O. chilli sauce; and daily double-boiled soups.

The Lighthouse Restaurant & Rooftop Bar

Perched on the very top of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is The Lighthouse Restaurant and Bar – in the exact location where, in the 20th century, a beacon guided mariners to safety at the Singapore port. Authentic Italian is on the menu with a dazzling drinks list to match, and a mesmerising view of Singapore’s skyline and the Marina Bay waterfront. From 5.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.daily, enjoy aperitifs with complimentary Italian bites such as bruschetta and olives.

Must-try: aperol spritz topped with prosecco and refreshing soda. 

The Courtyard

Located in the atrium lobby, The Courtyard is bathed in natural light and lively ambience. Famed for its afternoon tea offering, including dedicated gluten-free and vegetarian menus. Sink into plush sofas and enjoy the sounds of a harpist during afternoon tea and weekends, with a jazz quartet in the evenings.

Must try: traditional English afternoon tea.

The Fullerton Cake Boutique

Choose from a wide selection of cakes, tarts, traditional sweets and more at The Fullerton’s very own dessert boutique. To mark the 90th anniversary of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, the aptly named “Mile Zero” cake is a special addition on the menu – think rich layers of chocolate mousse perfectly balanced with tart rosella cremeux. Mile Zero – which the Fullerton Building was known as during its time as the General Post Office – is the point from which all of Singapore was measured in road distances before postcodes were implemented.

Must-tries: heritage confections such as the kueh lapis, layer upon layer of rich cake in an assortment of flavours.
