Singapore’s dynamic dining scene continues to entice diners with new openings, refreshed menus and limited-time promotions. Whether you’re planning a family gathering, business lunch, or weekend celebration, these restaurants for June 2025 offer a wide range of tempting options – from premium dim sum and European classics to heritage-inspired concepts and Asian buffet experiences.
New Restaurants
1-Alfaro by Monti
Amongst the most exciting new restaurants for June 2025 is 1-Alfaro by Monti, perched 34 floors above Labrador Park with views across Singapore’s southern coastline. The venue splits into two distinct experiences: La Torre restaurant for structured Italian dining and La Luna bar for evening social gatherings, mirroring Italy’s traditional progression from meal to aperitivo culture.
Chef Felix Chong and Chef Alessandro Giustteti focus on Emilia-Romagna cuisine. The menu features handcrafted pasta available in half or full portions and fire-grilled sharing meats like the 600g Australia Linz Ribeye. The beverage programme includes signature cocktails inspired by the Italian region, with sharing jugs designed for groups.
The space transforms throughout the day. Bright dining during lunch hours, aperitivo service at sunset, then live DJ sets as night deepens. Floor-to-ceiling windows maximise the harbour and city skyline views, while the outdoor bar extends the experience under open skies.

New Menus
Dolce Vita Introduces New Menu of Reinvented Italian Classics
Dolce Vita at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore has a new menu created by Restaurant Chef Roberto Zorzoli, offering a fresh take on classic Italian dishes. From starters, risotto, and pasta to main courses, Chef Roberto invites guests to enjoy the essence of Italy in every dish.
The refreshed menu introduces pinsa – Roman-style flatbreads that are lighter than pizza. Four varieties include the truffle-heavy Tartufo and spicy Piccante with salami. Standout dishes include Polipo Scottato, where Mediterranean octopus meets nduja mayonnaise and artichokes, and housemade Spaghettini Vongole e Gamberi with prawns, clams and white wine sauce. The Risotto Cacio e Pepe translates the Roman pasta classic into rice form. Risotto Allo Zafferano pairs saffron with braised beef cheek. The salt-baked seabream Orata al Sale serves two to four people with oregano blanc sauce. For sharing, there’s also the Insalata del Sud combining romaine, kale, goat cheese and grapes.
The most intriguing creation is Millefoglie Porcini – dark chocolate layered with porcini mushroom pastry and ganache. This savoury-sweet dessert pushes boundaries beyond the standard tiramisu.
Weekday three-course sets cost $48++ per person. Saturday brunch is $98++ per person, or $146++ with prosecco.

Opus Bar and Grill’s Refined Steakhouse Experience

For those seeking alternatives to red meat, the Guinness-glazed Spatchcock Chicken and Rosemary Lamb Shank provide equally satisfying options. Vegetarians aren’t overlooked. Dishes like Josper Oven-Grilled Aubergine and Smoked Napa Cabbage shows that plant-based options can be just as compelling.
The restaurant maintains its value-conscious pricing while upgrading the quality of ingredients – a strategic move that should appeal to both longtime patrons and newcomers.
