Dinner Dates


Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and Robertson Quay

Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and Robertson Quay

A trio of strips along the Singapore River, they offer all manner of cuisines and nightlife that you could want. Clarke Quay and Boat Quay are great places to go pub or bar crawling after dinner, but both have a plethora of intimate restaurants. Boat Quay also has restaurants serving local seafood which are kept in tanks on location to ensure maximum freshness. Robertson Quay is a little further upriver from Clarke and Boat Quay (which are opposite each other), and it offers an eclectic mix of international restaurants with a riverfront location that is a little more laidback and chilled out than the other two quays. Popular with the expatriate crowd, the food available here taste authentic and true to their roots.
