Every foodie knows that Singapore is a culinary epicentre—thanks to its innovative restaurants, award-winning bars, and hawker centres boasting Michelin awards. But beyond the usual food haunts, there’s a bucket list-worthy gastronomic experience you’ll want to get familiar with—supper clubs!
The premise? It's simple, but total magic. Chefs and creative home cooks open up their own dining rooms for intimate, private dinners. So gather your friends or go solo and connect over incredible dishes—these are the best supper clubs in Singapore to snag a seat at.
Relish SG
A sumptuous dinner and a show are always on the menu at Relish SG. The supper club is led by historian and chef Chris Choo who serves up dishes from around the world—from Malaysian rendang tok to butter crab and Moroccan tagine. While you feast, Chef Choo and host Rose Sivam will regale guests with cultural insights on the dishes, and talk through the awe-inspiring array of rare antiques that fill the chef's home. We’re talking about a 2000-year-old Buddha bust, Indian bronze sculptures and a real spell book. Tickets start at $220 per person.
Senang Supper Club
Keep your eyes peeled for a lone vase of flowers on Jalan Senang, and you'll find that you’ve located the Senang Supper Club. Accessed via a long passage and hidden away inside the achingly cool botanical design studio, This Humid House, the cosy space is filled with antiques and stunning floral arrangements.
Guests will dine at a communal table laden with a South East Asian feast. With a rotating lineup of guest chefs taking over the kitchen, diners (who can snag a ticket for $196) can expect dishes like Burmese egg curry, grilled durol pork belly with white poppy seeds, and hand-rolled noodles from Southern Thailand drenched in chub mackerel and coconut milk.
Poon's Supper Club
A celebration of chef and photographer Kevin KY Lee’s culture and family, Poon’s Supper Club takes diners on a culinary adventure, while delivering the heart-warming feeling of dining at the family dinner table.
Inspired by his Fijian upbringing and his chef father, a meal at Poon’s will take you from the rice farms of South China, to the coconut beaches of Fiji, to the streets of Southeast Asia. Think luscious poached taro, bowls of chop suey, charcoal-grilled okra, Fiji bongo chilli crab and our fave—whole grouper smothered in kaffir lime and coconut cream, wrapped in banana leaves and smoked with applewood chips. Tickets are $165 per person.
The Humble Pit
For a no-frills, tasty supper club experience, check out The Humble Pit, located on the fourth-storey roof terrace of a family home in Kovan. The stellar views are just the beginning of a good time here—with young, self-taught chef Eugene Sito wowing diners with his prowess on the simple, compact BBQ grill that most of his dishes are cooked on.
Offering intimate dinners three times a week, you can expect flavour bombs like duck-stuffed chicken wings with turmeric curry sauce, wood-roasted oysters with pickled seaweed, and short rib brushed with galbi-jjim glaze. And don’t sleep on Chef Sito’s homemade sourdough—it’s unreal. Tickets cost $110 per person.
Kolabo
With a roving list of incredible chefs taking over their kitchen, Kolabo is a supper club worthy of multiple visits. From foodies and home cooks to hatted chefs, the studio kitchen, nestled in the heartlands of Telok Kurau, is open to all. But the result is always the same—damn tasty food that'll make you want to do a little dance in your seat.
While the menu is ever-changing, the gastronomic magic of Lester Bongsy of Shan Private Dining, Angus Chow of Boroto and Sake Labo, and Jeremy Tan (aka Sushi Tan) have all delighted diner’s taste buds at Kolabo, with the latter serving a drool-worthy 16-course sushi omakase. The chic space offers a long table for 10 diners, or 10 seats along the counter, and is an absolute must for your supper club hit list. Tickets start from $188.
Ben Fatto 95
For melt-in-your-mouth pasta, delivered straight from the kneading board to your table, snag yourself one of just 12 seats at Ben Fatto 95. Formerly a financial consultant, Chef Yum Hwa traded it all in to bring his passion for pasta-making to Singapore diners.
The garden table, encased in lush greenery, is where Chef Hwa encourages guests to try their hand at rolling pasta, before regaling them with stories of his travels around Italy and how he mastered the artisanal craft, before serving delicate but moreish plates of truly elite pasta. If you can’t get a booking here, you can still sample Hwa’s pasta perfection at his new eatery Forma in Joo Chiat. Ben Fatto 95 tickets start at $90.
The Ampang Kitchen
For a true taste of Peranakan food, join Chef Raymond Leong at The Ampang Kitchen. Leong’s journey to creating a Singapore institution is truly unique, embarking on an intensive cooking course in Kuala Lumpur during his retirement. Inspired by the vibrant flavours of Penang-style cooking, Leong and his son David created a minimalist dining room at his home in Bukit Timah, offering a fixed menu for ten to 28 hungry diners. Expect a table of colourful dishes served family-style, like tetae lemak (a Malaysian Peranakan dish with sweet potato, leaves and prawns in a light spicy coconut gravy) and Nyonya chicken curry. A private dining experience at The Ampang Kitchen will set you back $70 for lunch.
The Mixtape Chef
Since launching The Mixtape Chef in 2015, self-taught chef Kenneth Yong’s supper club has become a firm favourite among foodies—and for good reason. Boasting an experimental menu brimming with delicious international eats, the charismatic chef (along with wife Laureen Goh) hosts intimate dinners for six to 12 guests at their family home.
Some recent knock-out dishes include homemade silken tofu with mapo beef garum sauce, bacon praline with Sichuan peppercorn, and sea bass in a soul-nourishing suan cai broth. With a passion for bringing people together over good food, this supper club welcomes kids too so that the whole family can enjoy this special experience. Tickets go for $158 per person.
