Singapore may not be home to many natural cave formations, but there is a way to experience being inside a hollow cavern by dining at its first “cave-set” restaurant set to open this March!
Rainforest Wild ASIA, Singapore's fifth zoological park under Mandai Wildlife Reserve, announced that the Cavern Restaurant by TungLok Group is officially opening to the public on Mar. 12, 2025, providing a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
This new dining spot is Singapore’s first and only restaurant in a cave setting, inspired by the Mulu Caves in Sarawak. Reports say that designers visited the UNESCO heritage site to 3D-scan the interiors and digitally modeled them before being sent to the Johor factory to be prefabricated in panels. So, you’ll truly feel like you’re in an actual cave with its textured walls, high ceilings with stalactites and stalagmites, and lighting effects. The best part about it is that you get to enjoy a good meal in a clean and air-conditioned space, unlike in an actual cave with humidity and dripping water.
The Cavern Restaurant will be open from lunch throughdinner and is set to become a lively hub of exploration with a capacity of over 150 seats. It’s also headed by Chef Sheng Lim, who has over a decade of experience from JAAN, CURE Concepts, and Cé La Vi Singapore. The menu offers a blend of International Western flavors, highlighting dishes such as the Crystal Cave Salad (S$22) featuring a mix of red and gold beetroot with Spanish burrata on top, the Stone Age Burger (S$20) with its juicy grilled patty and thick-cut fries, and the Caveman’s Meat Skewer (S$38) packed with tenderloin and veggies.
Looking for your next dining venue? The Cavern transforms into an elegant evening space perfect for intimate date nights or hosting corporate events and celebrations.
Reservations are now open and can be booked via Chope. The restaurant is open daily from 11 AM to 3 PM for lunch (last order at 2:30 PM) and 4 to 9 PM for dinner (last order at 8:30 PM). Mandai also provides complimentary parking from 6 PM onwards, with the nearest parking spot located at P1 West Carpark.
