10 Rooftop Restaurants In Singapore For Affordable Date Nights Under $50++

When it comes to picking a suitable spot for date night, the quality of food matters just as much as the romantic ambience.

10 Rooftop Restaurants In Singapore For Affordable Date Nights Under $50++

If you really want to impress that special someone without breaking the bank, we’ve got you covered with this list of 10 affordable rooftop restaurants in Singapore, priced under $50++ a person!

  • 1. Tiantai Hotpot

If you were to use the phrase ‘hidden gem’ on just one eatery, it would be Tiantai Hotpot, without a doubt. The hotpot spot is situated on the rooftop of People’s Park Complex, offering diners a pretty one-of-a-kind hotpot experience.

The menu here is simple, there are three soup bases: Spicy Red Oil, Mushroom, and Tomato, as well as more than 50 types of ingredients to choose from. Two bases are priced at $12, which we thought was pretty affordable. We recommend going for the Spain Black Pig Streaky Pork ($20), Sole Fish ($3), and US Beef Brisket ($9) for your protein, as well as grabbing a portion of their hand-pulled Flat Noodles ($6).

Check out our Tiantai Hotpot review. Address: 1 Park Road, 06-01/02, People’s Park Complex, Singapore 059108 Opening hours: Daily 11:30am to 12am

Tel: 8067 2777

  • 2. Supply & Demand

Accompanied by live music and a gorgeous view of the CBD, Supply & Demand is a great rooftop restaurant to impress your date at. You can even dedicate songs to flaunt your taste in music.

The menu largely features Italian dishes with a twist. The Morning After ($29++) catches our eye as it is a reinvention of a full English breakfast as a pizza. Toppings include mushrooms, a runny egg, and bacon, as well as the usual marinara sauce and mozzarella.

They also have a number of vegetarian dishes, such as the Chickpea Hummus & Guacamole ($16++), and the Mushroom and Raclette Crostini ($16). The former is served with a garlic flatbread to mop up all the nutty goodness, while the latter features moreish garlic crostinis topped with sauteed mushrooms and melted raclette cheese. Address: 8 Raffles Avenue, #01-13 Annexe, Esplanade Mall, Singapore 039802

Opening hours: Mon-Wed 5pm to 10:30pm, Thurs 11:30am to 3pm, 5 to 10:30pm, Fri 11:30am to 3pm, 5pm to 2am, Sat 11:30am to 2am, Sun 11:30am to 10:30pm Tel: 6336 0588

For mains, we recommend the Pork Belly Chicharron Bo-ssam ($30++) where grilled miso-glazed pork belly, dressed with gochujang miso, garlic miso, and chimichurri. Address: 70 Collyer Quay #02-02, Customs House, Singapore 049323
