Every month we do a round up of some the the new places to watch out for and hopefully get to experience. It gives us a chance to meet the owners, the chefs and the service staff, whom without - these wonderful establishments would not run like clockwork.
The fresh ambience and eagerness of the staff make the experience all so much more special. So, this month, make sure to head to one, two or all of these swanky new restaurants and bars in Singapore. Image Credit: Lino Restaurant & Cafe Website
Kinou
Kinou needs to bask in its glory for bringing sumptuous and authentic Basque cuisine to Singapore. Tuck into dishes like Xipirons (baby squid with chimichurri & duo of aioli), Pulpo A La Gallega (sous vide and grilled octopus with grenaille & black garlic aioli), and Kinou Txuleta (Angus Op Rib with duck fat and garlic butter).

Nemesis
The sprawling bar scene of Duxton Hill has got itself a Nemesis, and we have high hopes from their bar scene, their innovative touch, and the vibe of the place. Our eyes are on their house cocktails like Hawaiian - rye, spices, pear, apple, pineapple, and cheese. Their Valley of The Dolls Martini also sounds promising as it features gin, Lyre’s Vermouth, sherry, and roasted olives. We’d love pairing these up with an Artichoke Pizza, Burrata, or Focaccia with olive oil and sea salt. Video Credit: Nemesis, Chius2Travel Youtube
