Have you heard of Restaurant Week? No worries if you haven’t ‘cos this will be the first time it’s happening in Singapore. Think of it as a one-week only sale of meals in swanky restaurants that would be – like all sales – easier on the pocket.
(Garibaldi)
Over 50 restaurants are participating, and over the course of one week – 22 to 28 March 2010 – they will be offering limited seats for special three course menus at a flat rate: $25 for lunch and $35 for din dins.
The catch is, you HAVE to make advance reservations and ONLY through the online portal www.restaurantweek.sg Online bookings start today (latest check, it starts at 4pm today) so once you read this, get online and book away.

The intention of this whole exercise is, you get to experience high end restaurants at lower prices than usual. On the list of over 57 restaurants are Esmirada, Absinthe, 53, Kha, Mimolette, Otto, Prime Society, Brasserie Wolf, Krish, The French Kitchen, Song of India, Bodega y Tapas, Senso, etc….All we say is, choose carefully to make your efforts worth the while. Organised by DiningCity.com, an online restaurant guide based in the Netherlands, Restaurant Week is a success in countries like Netherlands, Austria and Belgium (wow…someone say ‘yay’….)…
Oops, and what's a good deal without the reality of FINE PRINT? With long sightedness settling in, we magnify it here for our mutual benefit:
“DiningCity Star Awarded restaurants may charge a fixed supplement of S$15 for lunch and S$20 for dinner.”
(Krish - no supplement here)
On further checking, this means Restaurant Week deals will likely blossom to $40 for a three course lunch, and $55 for dinner at the swanky, upper end restaurants like 53, Garibaldi, Julien Bompard, Novus, White Rabbit, Braise, The Cliff, The French Kitchen, Song of India, Tatsuya and Senso, One on the Bund, and Absinthe. (Just as a point of comparison, Garibaldi and Braise currently offers a 3-course set lunch at $38++ according to their websites; and Novus serves a three course set at $35++).
Don’t get us wrong darlings,…All we’re saying is, choose well and wisely. Cross our fingers that the menus are as ‘special’ as they say it would be.
Don’t forget, 4pm today sweeties!
