Some of our readers are curious about the Ridgewood Close restaurants after reading about our recent visits to two of them, Hapiha and Pizzaface. Today, we will introduce the rest of these f & b outlets to you.
Restaurants at Ridgewood Condominium
According to Property Guru, Ridgewood Condominium is one of the oldest condominiums in Singapore. This 999-year leasehold condo complex is in the prestigious residential zone of District 10. To me it has a lovely tropical resort feel. In fact it looks like a Hawaiian themed resort with waterfall swimming pools and lots of coconut trees. This property has 464 units and was built in 1981.
Ridgewood Close Restaurants
In one corner of the development, there is a small building housing a row of commercial units. It is part of the condominium complex but there is a fence separating it from the rest of the condo. But a secured gate allows direct access from the residents with a security pass. Members of the public can get access via the street gate along Ridewood Close. The retail cluster is occupied mostly by f & b establishments with a couple of others such as a grocery / provision shop and a medical clinic.
Valle Bar & Cafe
Valle is an outdoor bar and cafe. Some tables are partially sheltered but diners are unlikely to escape getting wet if it rains. But on a dry, cool evening, it is an atmospheric space. Based on my observations from our visits to the Ridgewood Close restaurants, Valle is the oldest member of this cluster. According to its website, “Valle (pronounced as Valley) has been serving craft beers and skinny pizzas since early 2011“.
Valle serves more than just pizzas. Pub food such as fish and chips and chicken wings are also available. This seems to be quite a popular place especially on weekend evenings. Here are screenshots of some portions of the Valle food and beer menu.
We also noticed that Valle allows food from some of the neighbouring units to be consumed on their premises with your drinks from Valle. The list of permitted outlets is probably out of date – Esarn (a Thai restaurant) is no longer at Ridgewood. Do check with them beforehand on the current situation if you are thinking of using this procedure.

OPENING HOURS
Mondays to Fridays – 4pm to 10pm

ZA Dining Izakaya & Sake Bar
ZA Dining @ Ridgewood Close is possibly the smallest Japanese restaurant I have ever seen. Notwithstanding that, it has a private dining room in addition to the two indoor dining tables.
This is a picture of the ZA Dining private dining room. No frills – just basic banquet seating and a long table. I did not take a picture of the general dining area as it was occupied. On a nice cool day it might be a good idea to order some gyoza and yakitori to be enjoyed with craft beer over at Valle.
The Japanese food menu at ZA Dining is very extensive. It is hard to anticipate such a wide range of food at such a small establishment. This place is on our to-do list.

Is there any car park for the public?
There are some free spaces along the road (Ridegwood Close) for parking, availability depends on luck. Another option is to check with the restaurant that you are going to as to whether you can use the visitor parking at Ridgewood condo.
