Take a seat at the counter and admire the extravagant arches and elegant details at this snazzy restaurant off Neil Road. You’re here for a pasta feast, starting with the Tagliolini Nero ($35) with uni, scallop and squid in an umami seafood reduction.

Impress your date at this hip, unfussy joint on Club Street that's great for inventive cooking and natural wines (they carry small quantities of ~200 types). Start with their House-baked Sourdough ($6) and house-cured Charcuterie ($16). Then, have the Cedar Jelly and Foie Gras Toast ($16) for a melt-in-your-mouth moment you won't forget. The menu changes frequently, but the Beef Tongue Sammy ($26) and the Endive ($21) — a salad that is perfectly complemented by Kyoho grape and tete de moine cheese — are mainstays you must not miss. If available, end your meal with the Birch Syrup Tart.

It's not difficult to see why this Michelin-starred spot along Keong Saik Road is highly beloved by the foodie community – the digs are spacious, ambience is welcoming, and the food's fantastic.

Also look out for the punchy beef tartare cone starter and melt-in-your-mouth NZ rack of lamb.

"No pretentious bullshit" is the headliner at this act, and the experience speaks for itself. Expect cool music, chummy service and communal plates great for sharing with your date — think fall-off-the-bone twice-cooked Lamb Shoulder ($42) and their range of smoky Neopolitan-style pizzas.

This trendy 45-seater along Amoy Street serves up a mash of European offerings with bold flavours. The best part? Everything is house-made – from their bread down to the pastry used for their tasty Beef Empanadas ($16 for two). Start with the refreshing Sea Bream Ceviche ($26), before moving on to the Ojo de Bife ($65) – we're talking a lusciously meaty 28-day aged in-house rib eye.

Evolving from its predescessor Cheek by Jowl, keep this this younger, funkier spot in mind for your next date night. Order the crisp Barramundi ($36), that comes with a side of braised leeks on an umami mussel-based sauce. Alternatively, opt for their excellent Waffle with Chicken Liver Parfait ($6) and their cold Smoked Tomato Granita ($6) for mouthfuls of umami and briny fresh oyster. Then go for the classic yet kicky Burrata ($22) with tomatoes and fermented green chilli.

Think formal dates are overrated? Then this casual spot is for you – best enjoyed as a pair by the bar with beers. Go for the punchy Brawn Terrine ($12), before diving into the comforting Mac n Cheese ($18) that's topped with a house-cured egg yolk. A range of craft beers are available here, such as the malty and delicately sweet Rye on Wood (from $8 for 200ml).

Feast on premium grills (made with meat from halal-certified suppliers!) while enjoying the scenic city skyline at this grillhouse. If steak is what you're here for, don't hesitate on the flavourful grain-fed USDA Prime, Omaha, USA Sirloin ($74/340g), flaunting a rich crusty char. Though on the pricey side, the creamy and cheesy Boston Lobster Thermidor ($88) cooked in a white wine sauce is worth the splurge.
