The menu largely features Italian dishes with a twist. This 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 plant-based menu for vegetarians and vegans, with dishes such as Meatballs With A Crunch ($24++) made with Impossible meat.

Enjoy small bites including Mekajiki Ceviche ($18++), a Japanese take on the well-known Peruvian appetiser, then work your way up to their mains. The Yakitori Squad ($20++) is one to try if you love skewers, as it comes with a medley, including gizzards. Otherwise, treat yourself to Uni Capellini ($36++), where pasta is tossed in a smoked uni butter sauce, then served with a selection of seafood.

Italian cuisine is a failsafe option for dates. At rooftop restaurant Florian, you get a menu that’s a love letter to Venice, along with a stunning view of the downtown area.

7. Sweetea Caffe

Sweetea Caffe isn’t your conventional rooftop restaurant. Instead, it is a retro diner in Chinatown that has a balcony dining area, where you can enjoy views of the busy, colourful streets below.

Come for their afternoon tea set here, which is priced at $48.80. The tiered set includes sweet and savoury bites, such as ondeh ondeh cake and fries. While the food may not wow, Sweetea Caffe does offer a novel dining experience if you’re looking to impress your date. Do note that dining at the balcony requires advance booking.
