Manhattan Singapore

Manhattan sits on the second floor of 1 Cuscaden Rd. It is a twenty-five-minute walk from the Singapore Botanic Gardens and a fifteen-minute stroll from the thoroughfares of Orchard Road.

The kitchen serves Japanese and Asian seafood. While the room runs smart and elegant, the choice to dine here is a rejection of the neon-lit, high-volume venues that define the nearby shopping belt. You come here for the relative stillness of the upper-floor dining room, which feels entirely removed from the humidity and street-level noise of the surrounding district. It is a necessary counterpoint to the city’s frenetic pace, offering a measured, disciplined approach to seafood that is far easier to find here than in the crowded tourist corridors of the National Museum of Singapore area.
