Raffles Sentosa Singapore Unveils Dazzling Dining Venues on Sentosa Island

Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the country’s first all-villa resort, sets a new standard of destination dining on Sentosa Island. Nestled within 100,000 square meters of lush tropical gardens atop a hill, the resort is now home to five distinctive dining venues, each helmed by chefs with Michelin credentials and elevated by the legendary Raffles service.
“We’ve crafted every dining moment to be an experience of discovery and delight,” said Bjoern Alexander, Cluster Director of Culinary at Raffles Sentosa Singapore and Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa. “Our aim is to blend the Raffles legacy with contemporary dining excellence, offering guests not only exceptional cuisine but also a personal connection to every meal.”
Empire Grill

Helmed by Michelin-starred talent and anchored by Raffles’ legendary hospitality, Raffles Sentosa Singapore’s crown jewel is Empire Grill, a modern Italian restaurant that reimagines classic Italian dishes with a refined, contemporary touch inspired by the rustic warmth of Tuscan cuisine and complemented by a fine selection of premium wines.
Evoking a sense of laid-back elegance, wood-fired meats and seafood sizzle beside tableside theatrics, offering an intimate and interactive dining experience.
“Empire Grill is about more than just flavor — it’s about connection,” said Chef Bjoern. “We bring a sense of theatre back to the table, with dishes prepared or finished right before our guests’ eyes. It’s a personal experience, and one that celebrates the timeless art of hospitality.”
Royal China

Chef Ling Heng Yao elevates Cantonese classics with precision and quiet creativity at Royal China.
Known for his meticulous technique and deep understanding of Cantonese culinary philosophy, Chef Ling believes that great cuisine begins with the ingredients.
“Cantonese cooking is about balance and restraint,” he said. “It’s about understanding the feel of each ingredient, how it transforms with heat, and how every element plays its part in harmony. While I honor tradition, I also like to introduce moments of surprise — just enough creativity to let the ingredients shine.”
His menu reflects this philosophy — from delicate dim sum to signature dishes like Peking Duck and double-boiled soups, each plate is a celebration of depth, texture, and purity of flavour. The restaurant features locally and sustainably sourced produce, continuing the resort’s commitment to conscious dining. These are also complemented by a fine selection of premium wines and specialty teas that were curated to pair with the food.
IYASAKA by Hashida
IYASAKA by Hashida, led by famed Chef Kenjiro “Hatch” Hashida — offers a refined omakase experience inspired by the spirited cheer heard at festive gatherings in Japan. This restaurant is a toast to joy, prosperity, and the enduring art of Japanese dining.
Seating only 12 people at a time, the restaurant offers an exceptionally intimate setting, one that celebrates culture, craftsmanship, tradition, and connection; It is also one of the most exclusive Japanese dining experiences on Sentosa Island.
Raffles Room

Situated within the resort’s arrivals hall, Raffles Room offers an inviting space for guests to enjoy the signature Raffles Afternoon Tea. Bathed in natural light and overlooking a magnificent heritage ficus tree, it also reflects the Raffles heritage of elegant gatherings.

The Chairman’s Room is not to be missed — a hidden speakeasy-style lounge with a refined collection of rare whiskies, aged cognacs, and fine wines — alongside the Sentosa Sling, the resort’s sustainable reimagination of the original Singapore Sling made with upcycled watermelon skins and lemon leaves from the resort’s garden.
In-Villa and Private Dining

Private In-Villa Dining is one of the resort’s most decadent culinary experiences. Each private dining occasion is custom-curated by the resort’s culinary team with around-the-clock service that is steeped in quiet luxury.
Within two months of its official opening, Raffles Sentosa Singapore didn’t just set the table — it set the tone for a new era of destination dining in Southeast Asia.
