With its panoramic view of Sentosa and Harbourfront, Arbora Hilltop Garden & Bistro is as romantic as it gets. Should you have your date night dinner close to 7pm, you’ll be able to enjoy the Golden Hour view, and watch as the sun sets beyond the trees and the city lights.

The fare at Arbora is surprisingly affordable. A nice, hearty Handcrafted Hamburger with a thick beef patty, bacon streaks, and fluffy fries will set you back $29++, while juicy Tomahawk Pork Ribs cost $28++. If you want to go even cheaper, a plate of Beef Bolognese goes for just $18++.
Don’t forget to end your meal with the Jar of Love ($16++) dessert—your partner might just love its combination of chocolate ice cream, meringue, wafers, and fresh berries.

2. Sen-ryo
Since Japanese food is pretty much universally loved in Singapore, choosing an acclaimed and gorgeous Japanese restaurant such as Sen-ryo is a safe bet for your date night dinner.
Located within ION Orchard, Sen-ryo is also a great pick if you’re planning on shopping after a lovely meal.
And though the restaurant serves delicious, premium Japanese food, you’re unlikely to break the bank while dining here. Even something such as the Sen-ryo Special Bento ($29.80++), with its lavish selection of ingredients including fatty otoro and salmon belly, is under $30++. For something that’ll warm the soul—and heart—you can get the Tori Nabe ($17.80++), which is a bubbling hotpot based on a rich chicken stock.
