With a sweeping view of Marina Bay Sands, this might be the coolest new restaurant in town. UsQuBa is derived from the Gaelic word Usquebaugh, which means Water of Life, or simply put, whisky. This 160-seater restaurant aims to bring the best of Scotland to our shores and comes (very fittingly) with a well-stocked bar of curated whiskies, craft gins and beers. Head chef Guven Uyanik showcases Scottish produce beautifully, and his dishes highlight the freshness and flavors of every ingredient. Come for their weekday executive set lunch ($38 two-course /$48 three-course) and get one of our favourites — Lobster Ravioli Soup. Trying to impress your dinner date? You won't go wrong with the Seared Foie Gras ($21), which sees a generous portion of foie gras pan seared to perfection, or the Duet of Aberdeen Angus Beef ($56) — one half succulent tenderloin, the other, short ribs braised for 26 hours till fork tender.
Avg price: $80 per person without drinks
