Inside, the space is dressed in warm wood tones, with sculptural elements that give off a refined, modern aesthetic. The main draw is their binchōtan-grill concept, and their Spritz Bar (which is also Singapore’s first dedicated spritz pavilion).
To snag this luxurious experience without totally breaking the bank, look at their special Sunset Dinner (5:30 - 7:30pm) or Late Night Dinner (9:30pm onwards) promotions. These offers present a 3-course set menu starting at just $88++ or $128++, which is a fantastic entry point for one of Singapore's most prestigious sky dining destinations.

The lower floor serves creative Japanese cuisine – think modern maki rolls, and fun bar snacks. Head up to the rooftop and the mood shifts into nightlife mode: neon signs, graffiti-style murals, city views and a playlist that leans upbeat. It’s the kind of place where pre-dinner drinks easily become an all-night hangout.
The best time to visit is during their wildly popular Bottomless Brunch, which happens every Saturday. For just $68++, you and your partner can enjoy an endless supply of premium sashimi, rolls, and mains, with the option to add on free-flow alcohol for an epic, boozy, daytime date. If you’re after a place where the drinks stay flowing and the mood stays loud, Kinki delivers without missing a beat.

The hilltop setting, floral mixology and intimate vibe combine to make Mirabilis one of the most distinctive date-night rooftops in Singapore.

8. Cable Car Sky Dining: Leisure dining suspended from up high
Cable Car Sky Dining offers one of Singapore’s most unforgettable dining backdrops – all from a private, moving cable car cabin between Mount Faber and Sentosa. As the sun sets, the cabin becomes a floating observation pod, giving you shifting views of the harbour, coastline, tropical greenery and distant city lights. Inside, the dining setup feels surprisingly intimate, with soft lighting and a well-paced multi-course menu designed for couples.
To keep the experience fresh for repeated visitors, the experience constantly rotates its menus to reflect different seasonal themes. At the time of writing (November 2025), the experience features a limited-time menu by chef Matthew Leong, the top Asian finalist at the 2025 Bocuse d’Or. With only 15 cabins available a day, book early for a night that feels cinematic and unforgettable.
