Amidst the festive celebrations this December, it\u2019s important to slow down and spend some time with your special one. And there\u2019s no better way to bond than by sharing your love of food \u2013 whether it\u2019s a romantic dinner date or casual brunch after a hike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To get you started, we\u2019ve curated these cafes with delicious plates and stunning interiors to match. Some are even offering promotions for SAFRA members, so you can shave some dollars off your total bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Beast & Butterflies<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Imagine sitting by the river, sipping on cocktails while staring into each other\u2019s eyes. Yeah, you may not have the budget to sweep your girl off her feet along River Seine \u2013 but the Singapore River comes rather close. Enter: Beast & Butterflies, a beautiful dining space with both indoor and alfresco seating along Robertson Quay.<\/p>\n

Brunch<\/span>, lunch<\/span>, or dinner<\/span> \u2013 pick your meal of choice. Trust us, it\u2019s hard to go wrong here, with all-star dishes such as the tender Baby Back Ribs ($35) or Creamy Lobster Pasta ($38). You can also go local and opt for elevated classics like Mee Tai Mak Laksa ($14) or Mala Fried Rice ($18). Don\u2019t forget to end it all on a sweet note with a Molten Chocolate Cake ($17) or Pandan Panna Cotta ($12).<\/p>\n

The food may be delicious, but what sets Beast & Butterflies apart are their cocktails, which start at just $15 for a Daiquiri. We also love the Old Fashioned ($16) and Espresso Martini ($16) for a little pick-me-up. Not a cocktail drinker? You can also find beer on tap, beer by the bottle, all kinds of spirits, and some wholesome tea.<\/p>\n

All NSMen receive a complimentary One Dessert Board with min. $200 spend till 31 December 2022. In addition, SAFRA members enjoy 10% off the a la carte menu till 30 December 2023. More info at safra.sg\/promotions\/beast-butterflies<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. MEMO Cafe<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If your partner is more of a dessert person, your SAFRA card can also get you 10% off the a la carte menu at MEMO Cafe along Robertson Quay \u2013 as well as a complimentary slice of cake with a $50 minimum spend.<\/p>\n

This urban garden cafe is located at Studio M Hotel and is known for its ambience and healthy yet affordable meals. A wow factor here is their vertical herb and salad garden, which is where the ingredients for the Create Your Own Salad ($14++) come from. Talk about fresh.<\/p>\n

Pop by during lunch on a weekday and you get to enjoy a weekday 2-course set lunch at $18++, with a selection of mains such as the breakfast burrito or mouthwatering pasta. Alternatively, the Snoop Hog ($15) is always a good idea.<\/p>\n

All NSMen receive a complimentary sliced cake (worth $10) with min. $50 spend till 31 December 2022. In addition, SAFRA members enjoy 10% off the a la carte menu till 30 December 2023. More info at safra.sg\/promotions\/memo-cafe<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Little Lazy Lizard<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nobody said dates need to be super fancy. With a place like Little Lazy Lizard, you\u2019re welcome to just sit back, relax, and enjoy each other\u2019s company. This cosy neighbourhood haunt is near Sixth Avenue MRT station \u2013 and it has an all-day breakfast menu to boot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lazy Lizard Big Breakfast ($19.80) is a safe bet, with beans, bacon, mushrooms, loop fries, and spicy pork sausage. Not to mention, there\u2019s also Milano Bread and your choice of scrambled or sunny-side-up egg. But if you\u2019re all about the carbs, the pasta menu is extensive, with everything from the basic Aglio Alio ($16.80) to Crab Pesto ($20.80).<\/p>\n

Meat lovers would love the Tenderloin ($36.80) which comes with Roasted Asparagus, Roasted Carrots, Truffles Mashed Potatoes, and Sauteed Cherry Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re there on a first or second date and need to calm your nerves, don\u2019t worry \u2013 booze is also available here. Perhaps you\u2019d wanna knock back a few pints of Little Creatures Pale Ale ($15.80 or 2 for $27.80 during Happy Hour), or stay sophisticated with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon ($13.80\/glass).<\/p>\n

SAFRA members enjoy up to\u00a035% off a la carte menu items till 31 December 2022. More info at safra.sg\/promotions\/little-lazy-lizard<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Sky22<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Perched on the 22nd floor of Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena is this stunning all-day dining restaurant. It\u2019s flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows that let light in, with views of the spectacular nature reserve beyond.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s offering a festive set dinner menu available from 6.30pm to 10.30pm, if you\u2019re dining from Sunday to Thursday evenings. A 3-course set menu costs $45++ per pax for an appetiser or soup, a main course, and your choice of homemade dessert. If you can\u2019t decide between the appetiser or soup, go for a 4-course set menu for $55++ instead.<\/p>\n

Start off with the Mackerel Otah Croquettes ($12 a la carte) or Beef Consomme Soup ($16 a la carte), before moving on to the mains. Some of the main highlights on the menu include the Locally-Farmed K\u00fchlbarra Barramundi ($32 a la carte) and the Kampong Chicken Leg Confit ($26 a la carte).<\/p>\n

For dessert, you can\u2019t go wrong with festive selections like the Baked Alaska ($22 a la carte), which features eggnog semifreddo, or Sticky Date Pudding ($14 a la carte).<\/p>\n

SAFRA members enjoy 10% off the a la carte menu till 30 December 2022. More info at safra.sg\/promotions\/sky22-10-off<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t travel to Australia this December? Well, Surrey Hills Grocer is bringing the land Down Under to you \u2013 and this time, at ION Orchard. With natural light flowing into the restaurant and tranquil interiors with wooden arches and greenery, you’ll feel like you’re in an Aussie greenhouse.<\/p>\n

This is where you\u2019ll get an authentic farm-to-table experience, with each ingredient sustainably sourced from local farms in Singapore and small producers. For a classic brunch, order the Crab Benny ($28) or Melbourne Breakfast Avo ($19). And there\u2019s no rush to roll out of bed early on a weekend, either, because Surrey Hills Grocer serves up brunch until 4pm. If your sweetie has a sweet tooth, the dessert menu boasts Strawberry Waffles ($18), Salted Caramel Waffles ($18) and a selection of fresh bakes each day.<\/p>\n

Lastly, you can\u2019t have an Aussie-style cafe without some good coffee. Surrey Hills Grocery sure delivers \u2013 with blends supplied by Melbourne-based Seven Seeds Coffee. Choose a classic Flat White ($6.50) or go for a Margaret River Bahen & Co Chocolate ($8).<\/p>\n

6. Cafe Kitsune<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s a fancy date spot your bae will love \u2013 especially if she\u2019s a fan of fashion label Maison Kitsune. Cafe Kitsune has just opened a gorgeous new spot at Capitol Singapore, and we think it makes the perfect date spot. Just walking in, you\u2019ll find warm wooden hues, Instagrammable woven-back cafe seats and beautiful tiled floors – all flanked in lush greenery. It\u2019s almost as if you\u2019ve stepped into a bistro ala<\/i> Emily In Paris.<\/p>\n

Like the famous Paris outlet, its counterpart in Singapore is also serving up viennoiseries, French desserts like the Yuzu Pistachio Strawberry Entremet ($13), bistro-style mains, sandos, and coffee. Oui oui, a table for two please!<\/p>\n

If you must, start with one of the two sandos on the menu \u2013 the Egg Sando ($13) or the Chicken Katsu Sando ($15). Personally, we\u2019d dive straight into dessert. The Paris-Brest ($12) is heavenly \u2013 and you can also head to the counter and choose some of the pastries on display. Grab a cuppa joe such as the Flat White ($7) or Iced Dirty Matcha ($9.50) and you\u2019re ready to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
