 1.      Five and Dime



Located at River Valley Road, Five and Dime is literally less than a 5 minute walk from DIMENSIONS International College River Valley. With wholesome belly-warming food as their philosophy, you can expect amazing comfort food at this little restaurant. We highly recommend their signature dishes such as their Mentaiko Pasta ($18) or Braised Pork Belly Sandwich ($18) and end off the meal with a decadent Molten Chocolate Lava Cake filled with a salted egg yolk custard centre.

Address:  297 River Valley Rd, Singapore 238338
Opening Hours: 12 – 10pm

 2.      Spathe Public House



Spathe Public house is a little restaurant with a Bohemian vibe that specializes in contemporary European and Southern American Cuisine, emphasizing bold flavours, fresh ingredients and large shareable portions. Try their signature Mohamed Sultan Metre Dog (Yes it is a metre long hotdog) ($55 sharing / $18 individual) which is made from a blend of veal and chicken curry wurst combined with wasabi mayonnaise and caramelised onions. If you feel up to it, try your luck with the Mammoth Challenge. If you finish this monster of a hotdog in 10 minutes, it’s on the house! Or if you’re a craving for an amazing burger, try the Signature Spathe Australian Angus Burger ($22).

Address: 8 Mohamed Sultan Rd #01-01, 238958

 3.      Common Man Coffee Roasters


If you have a sudden craving for having breakfast food for lunch, then Common Man Coffee Roasters is the place for you. Swing by Common Man Coffee Roasters at 12pm and you can choose from both the All-Day Breakfast and the Lunch menu. Sink your teeth into their Organic Eggs Benedict ($24) with a generous serving of braised ox cheeks topped with hollandaise sauce for a hearty yet energy filled lunch. For the truly hungry ones, take on the Common Man Full Breakfast ($26), a towering plate of eggs, back bacon, sausages, grilled tomatoes, chorizo hash browns, portobello mushrooms, chorizo baked beans and artisanal sour dough or pepita toast.

Feeling like quality Japanese food? Chikuwa Tei at Mohamed Sultan Road would be the prime choice to satisfy your cravings. It is a high popular establishment so reservations are highly recommended. What makes this place so popular? Chikuwa Tei’s signature Chirashi-Don ($25) is voted by food reviews and food bloggers alike as one of the most exceptional Chirashi-Dons in Singapore with its fresh and generous sashimi servings. With over 18 bento sets on the menu, you will be spoilt for choice with all the quality Japanese food.

Located within Mohammed Sultan, Bistecca Tuskan Steakhouse is our pick for all you meat lovers out there. Served Florentine style, which means grilled over wood/charcoal with only salt and pepper, Bistecca Tuscan has made a name for itself with its high quality and flavourful cuts of steak. Its signature 1.2kg Fiorentina Wagyu T-bone steak ($178) is not only large enough to be shared among 3-4 people, its tender and juicy meat, combined with the smoky chargrilled flavour from the grill would send shockwaves through your palate.
