It’s that time of the year again — some of Singapore’s top-rated restaurants are offering lunch and dinner menus at a steal (SGD25 — 35++) from Oct 7 — 13 and everyone wants a piece of ’em. We just made a quick check on the Singapore Restaurant Week 2013 website and some of our favourite dining spots were still available. Once you’re done reading this story, you know what to do (and quickly!).

We can’t believe it’s not fully-booked yet — this Italian restaurant with its secluded location, charming “Sultan’s palace” vibe (it was built in the ’20s by Yemeni traders) and straight-forward menu, is a great date spot.

Bistro du Vin dishes out consistently satisfying French food, but that’s not the only reason you should go. If you can get a little table in a corner, you and your date can pretend you’re sneaking a quick meal in a little Parisian bistro, amidst the faux mosaic floors, Old World accessories and red leather.
Blue Bali on Cluny
A great spot if you’re fan of dining out in the garden, and even better if you’re a craft beer advocate. Order up their signature Pink Mamba along with your three-course meal, and you’re set. If you’re lucky enough to score a dinner reservation, Blue Bali’s got a great happy hour deal going on daily 5-8pm.
Clifford
Looking for swanky? This European restaurant flaunts floor-to-ceiling windows (and those are some high ceilings), luxe chairs in deep crimson and velvet, and immaculate parquet floors. The excellent service and comprehensive wine menu help, too.

This fine dining Indonesian restaurant is another Restaurant Week option we’re surprised is still available. Since its opening The Moluccas Room has gained a reputation for its consistently good food and service. If you manage to score a table at the waterfront, we can guarantee an amazing time.

Some of you may not fancy the trek out to one of Singapore’s best Peranakan restaurants, but if you’re a fan of the celebrity chef, you won’t be disappointed. Her Nyonya classics are deeply satiating and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to experience Oon’s contemporary take on local favourites. Not to be missed: her homemade sambal belacan (but, of course).
Decided? Hurry up — these restaurants are still available at the Singapore Restaurant Week website.
