Millenia Walk food guide: 18 restaurants that we can’t get enough of

1. Benihana Singapore

Why visit? Sometimes, we all need a meal that has just the right amount of “extra” flair and Benihana Singapore’s teppanyaki meals sure takes things up a notch. 

Fire takes centre stage here at Benihana, which means “red flower” in Japanese. Founded by Rocky Aoki back in 1964 in New York, it serves flavourful food with a fiery flair. 

Even at its Singapore outlet, you can expect to be treated to a theatrical dining experience — watch a stack of onion rings get set on fire (“vegetable volcano”), or try a special Beni egg roll that’s prepared with lots of pizazz.

Crowd favourites: If you’re after a show, go for the elaborate kaiseki courses (from S$78). Otherwise, its a la carte menu has a wide range of items, such as sukiyaki pots (from S$30 for beef to S$45 for premium wagyu), robatayaki items such as grilled mentaiko half-shell scallops (S$18 for three pieces), and the popular garlic fried rice (S$8). 

For a quick bite, the executive lunch sets (from S$24) come with a choice of protein, garlic fried rice, miso soup, and appetisers.

2. C Australia’s Coffee Club

Why visit? With a history of 37 years, you just know C Australia’s Coffee Club has got its coffee down pat. Established in Brisbane, the Aussie brand’s caffeine beverages hit the spot every single time.

With a range of coffee and tea beverages, the unassuming joint also offers a substantial food menu of sandwiches, salads, toasts, and croissants. It’s a good place to settle in for a good catch-up with a friend, people-watch, or knock out emails between meetings. 

Crowd favourites: Get your caffeine boost with a hot cappuccino or iced latte . If you’re not a fan of coffee, try the peach oolong delight  or limey watermelon green tea. Visiting on a rainy day? Warm right up with a soothing pot of hibiscus peppermint tea.

Pair your drink with yummy bites such as a scrambled egg, kale and quinoa salad or chicken mayo croissant that’s sure to satisfy.

Whilst you’re at it, bookmark Postboy Coffee, a new cool coffee joint for your next weekend caffeine run.

3. Cafe Yasuragi

Why visit? “Yasuragi” translates to “peace” or “tranquillity”, and that’s exactly what you’d find at Cafe Yasuragi. Decked out in soothing olive green tones, the cafe is a quiet sanctuary that entices diners looking to escape the city’s hustle and bustle. 

The highlights here are the drinks: Be spoiled for choice with double-espresso foundation coffees, matcha lattes, and speciality chocolate mixes. Or you could pop in for a nightcap after work to sample a variety of premium Japanese whiskies, bespoke cocktails, French wines, and champagne.

Crowd favourites: You won’t go wrong with the Yasuragi signature latte (S$6.40) or the interesting signature banana matcha latte (S$7.90). The cafe is work-friendly, too: fuel your day with a matcha ganache cruffin (S$5.50) or kouign amann (S$4.80).

For something a little more filling, the “craft your own soup” sets (from S$16.20) let you customise the base and protein, plus add rice or udon. We love that each soup base is slow-simmered for over eight hours, so every spoon is packed with nutritional goodness and flavour. 

PS: We’ve got you covered with this list of work-friendly cafes in Singapore.

4. Cheeky Don

Why visit? We have a soft spot for restaurants that specialise in one main ingredient, and Cheeky Don is one such concept. Here, pork is the star of the show, and goes through a five-step process of brining, marinating, pan-searing, flame-torching, and smoking with fine green apple wood chips imported from Canada. 

The glorious richness of all that umami is balanced with zesty chimichurri green sauce and homemade dashi-infused bamboo rice. You can also opt to complete your meal here with one hot side, one cold side, nori (seaweed), and unlimited miso soup. 

Crowd favourites: Satisfy your cravings with the classic signature cheeky don (S$9.75), or switch it up with the Yang Gui Fei char siu don (S$14.60), where the pork jowl is transformed into hua tiao-aged char siu. 

Limited portions are prepared each day, so grab it whilst you can! Round it all off with a refreshing kakigori (Japanese shaved ice, S$8.80 with every donburi purchase, S$11.80 for a la carte).

You’ll also want to keep an eye out for the seasonal donburi that debuts each month. The restaurant will also roll out a special Kobe Pork, uniquely prepared using caul fat.

5. Commune Cafe

Why visit? If you’re familiar with the Commune lifestyle furniture brand, you know not to expect anything less than top-notch aesthetics that don’t skimp on functionality. Commune Cafe naturally adopts the same standard, putting up a menu of great coffee and bakes.

The seating area stretches across a bridge straddling the downstairs atrium, ensuring plenty of seats and also the opportunity to sip and nibble whilst people-watching. 

Crowd favourites: Start the day right with an acai smoothie (from S$10) or fizzy honey lemon (S$7), or jazz it up with a cup of coffee topped with intricate latte art. 

Top up for a cake set (S$10.80 with a hot drink, S$11.80 with an iced drink) or pastry set (S$10.50 with a hot drink, S$11.50 with an iced drink). If you’re feeling extra peckish, it also has pies (S$8.50) and chicken and ham croissants (S$7.50).

6. Donergy Turkish Kebab

Why visit? I have fond memories of my teenage self traipsing down the streets after school with a value-for-money kebab in hand. Fast forward to today, and we’re glad to find that same oomph at Donergy Turkish Kebab. Authenticity is the name of the game at this restaurant, which aims to bring the best of Azerbaijani and Turkish flavours to our shores. 

It does so through a mix of generational recipes and outstanding Turkish hospitality — every visit makes you feel right at home. 

Crowd favourites: Fill up with the signature kebab rice (from $14.50) or signature kebab tombik (freshly baked pita bread filled with kebab, vegetables, and sauces, from $11.50). Can’t decide and dining with a bigger party? The Turkish mixed grill (from S$51.90 for two pax) is sure to please, with a variety of kebabs. 

Other shareable items include the boat-shaped pide Turkish flatbread filled with mozzarella cheese (from S$15.50) and crispy Lahmajun flatbread topped with spiced minced meat and herbs (S$12 for one piece).

7. Elemen

Why visit? Elemen is great proof that you shouldn’t underestimate vegetarian food, with its stellar showcase of nmeatless cuisine, where eating clean and healthy doesn’t mean compromising on flavour.

Its tagline “My Earth diet” hints at what’s to come on its menu: Nourishing ingredients come together with thoughtful preparation, in a way that’s good for both our bodies and Mother Earth. 

Alongside a range of a la carte dishes, there are also five- or eight-course sets (S$28.80 or S$33.80 respectively) with customisable options.

Crowd favourites: Start with the intriguing charcoal churros rojak (S$6.80) and peppery “fish maw” soup (S$10.80). We also like the look of the Elemen appetiser (S$4.80), which comes with three artistically presented tasting portions. Next, try the kale tofu with black truffle wild rice (S$16.80) and smoky lion’s mane pizza (S$16.80). 

For dessert, the pulut hitam with gelato (S$7.80) or cappuccino origin cake (S$9.80) are also favourite choices.

8. Golden Seed

Why visit? We’re all guilty of forgetting to slow down, so if you find yourself in need of a breather, you might want to head to Golden Seed, a modern cafe that reimagines the art of tea. 

Lean back, relax, and inhale the comforting aroma as skilled tea baristas prepare a steaming cup. Everything spells zen at this outlet: From copious amounts of natural light and soothing wooden accents to a little green moss garden sitting in the middle of the table.

Crowd favourites: Attend the Tea Journey Awakening (S$36) and Grand Tea (S$88 for up to four diners) experiences to sample curated teas paired with a snack. Alternatively, you can opt to deep-dive into its seasonal workshops that range from include talks to tea demonstrations, and tasting sessions. 

Can’t get enough? Continue the experience back home with tins of Da Hong Pao tea (S$20) or Li Shan High Mountain tea (S$25), complete with a Song-style teapot set (S$58).

Here’s what we thought of Golden Seed.

9. Nozomi

Why visit? We don’t know about you, but we just can’t get enough of Japanese cuisine. And if you’re the same, and looking for a place for Japanese fare among Millenia Walk’s good options, then you’ll want to look to Nozomi. It serves up no-frills Japanese fare that uses seasonal ingredients to highlight the beauty of each season.

It’s all about variety here; you’ll be hard-pressed to choose from its array of bento sets, donburis, and more. Freshness is also guaranteed here, with its sushi and sashimi made with fish flown in directly from Tokyo’s Toyosu market.

The restaurant deftness with maguro (tuna) shines in its Nozomi maguro special (S$78), which goes all out with otoro (fatty tuna), chutoro (moderately fatty tuna), akami (lean tuna), and negitoro bluefin tuna (minced tuna).

Crowd favourites: The salmon tartare renkon senbei (diced salmon dressed with a special yuzu dressing, S$18), salmon trio and ikura don (topped with salmon sashimi, aburi salmon, salmon with mentaiko, and salmon roe; S$24), and unagi chasoba bento (grilled freshwater eel, chasoba, pumpkin croquette, and onsen egg, S$28) are all standouts. 

Feeling fancy? Splash out on the uni, ikura, hotate, and negitoro don (sea urchin, salmon roe, scallop, and minced tuna on rice, S$78) or Kagoshima A5 wagyu beef rice (S$68).

Besides, any omakase that doesn’t break the bank wins our hearts, and Nozomi hits the sweet spot with value-for-money omakase sets (from S$68 for lunch).

10. Ole Bar & Kitchen

Why visit? Ole Bar & Kitchen — which serves up Mexican fusion fare, albeit with a twist — feels like a place to catch up with friends, both new and old. It’s one of those places where conversations flow over each other, and laughter bounces off the tableware with a delightful ring. 

Crowd favourites: We like how Asian flavours are woven into the dishes, with smoked duck, beef bulgogi, and kimchi chicken wrapped in a burrito or quesadilla (S$18 each).

Local flavours aren’t forgotten here, with rendang chicken nasi lemak (S$24), satay (S$24), and a ngoh hiang platter (S$24) on the menu. It even serves roasted pork belly (S$28) marinated with white wine.

If you’re lingering, you’ll want to order one of its signature cocktails, Flower Power (S$24) or jalapenos margarita (S$24), or opt for the Jarritos (S$8) if you prefer something non-alcoholic.

11. Paulaner Brauhaus

Why visit? Be transported to Munich, Germany at Paulaner Brauhaus, a 30-year-old German beer and dining institution that’s a mainstay among Millenia Walk’s food spots. 

Paulaner’s entrance is located on the periphery of the mall, and the venue occupies a staggering three floors. On the first floor, expect to hear shouts of “prost!” or “cheers” in German at its casual bar. There’s also an al fresco area if you prefer taking your drinks outside. 

If you’re after food, you’ll want to head to the second floor, where the architecture is a sight to behold: Tables are arranged around a traditional maypole, with a sense of festivity buzzing in the air. The third floor houses a private gallery, if you’re curious. 

Crowd favourites: Go all German with the crispy pork knuckle “Paulaner style” (S$48), classic Nurnberger sausages (S$28), or sample a bit of everything with the Brauhaus sharing platter (S$128).

The Munich schnitzel (S$34) and classic cheese spatzle (S$26) are a hit with kids as well, who (fair warning) might also get addicted to Paulaner’s pretzel bites (S$18).

Don’t forget to wash it all down with a pint (or two!) of in-house brewed beers (from S$15). 

12. Sandaime Hiraki

Why visit? An unassuming izakaya with lots of surprises hidden up its sleeve, Sandaime Hiraki serves up omakase courses (from S$50), unagi (freshwater eel) set menus (from S$27.90), and an extensive a la carte menu. 

It also runs regular promotions, such as offering wagyu sirloin steak at a mega discount for weekday dinners (S$24.90; U.P. S$59.90), plus S$2 fresh oysters every Tuesday and Thursday (dinner service). 

And in case you’re wondering, yes Sandaime Bunji on the first floor is a sister concept. There, beef is the crowning jewel, and the menu includes gyutan (grilled beef tongue) and beef courses (S$65 and S$45 respectively), as well as double-aged thick-cut beef tongue (S$29.90 for six slices).

Crowd favourites: At Sandaime, treat yourself to the Ayers Rock pork steak (from S$17.90 a la carte), paired with a choice of either honey mustard, teriyaki garlic, or spicy yangnyeom sauce. 

Fans of unagi will love that there are a total of seven unagi sets to choose from here. For the best of both worlds, the eel and wagyu short rib set (S$33.90 for a half set, S$43.90 for a full set) shapes up to be quite the indulgence.

13. SBCD Korean Tofu House

Why visit? We’re just going to put it out there: You haven’t had soontofu (Korean tofu soup) until you’ve tried SBCD Tofu House’s rendition. It’s obviously doing the right thing because each piece of tofu is irresistibly soft and smooth! 

The tofu is handmade daily using soybeans imported from South Korea, while the broth is made with a secret recipe that combines a whopping ten ingredients. Afraid that the tofu soup is toos spicy? Fret not because you can choose from four different spice levels — mild, medium, spicy, and crazy hot — here. 

Crowd favourites: The soontofu (Korean soft tofu stew) is a must-order, with variations such as seafood, beef, and ham and cheese (S$21.90 each). The main dishes are incredibly satisfying, too, with hearty options such as the LA galbi short ribs (S$35.90), spicy baby octopus (S$29.90), and deep-fried orange chicken (S$27.90).

For a more value-for-money and filling experience, aim for the combo meals, which come with a smaller-sized soontofu and main (from S$24.90).

14. Scrambled Egg Rice Keisuke

Why visit? True to its name, the scrambled eggs at Scrambled Egg Rice Keisuke are second to none — silky, creamy, and decadent without being cloying. This Millenia Walk food spot was launched in 2024 and is part of the famous Keisuke brand, which is also behind other concepts such as Ramen Keisuke Singapore, Tonkotsu King, and Hamburg Steak Keisuke.

If you’re the sort that likes to watch your food being prepared, you’d be delighted to know that the outlet has a semi-open kitchen. Satisfaction is guaranteed, especially with free upgrades from a small plain egg rice to a regular or large portion at no extra charge.

Crowd favourites: There’s only one main on the menu here — a customisable scrambled egg bowl (S$7.90), which you can add toppings such as beef sukiyaki, crab cream croquette, and aburi mentaiko cheese (S$3.90 each), to. 

Don’t miss out on the Millenia Walk outlet-exclusive toppings, such as the salmon cream stew, pumpkin croquette, and deep-fried prawn with tartar sauce. Also exclusive to this outlet are sides of pork gyoza (S$5.90 for five pieces), mini shoyu ramen (S$4.90), and wanton soup (S$1). 

Curious if it’s worth the visit? Here’s what we enjoyed when we popped by!

15. Six Hands — Millenia Walk

Why visit? If you thought healthy eating was boring, think again. Salad bar Six Hands is determined to challenge your perception of salads by making them irresistibly exciting again. Created by the folks behind Omote and Umai, Six Hands sprinkles the same Japanese-inspired magic on its creations — with a distinct Australian take.

The menu has only six salad bowls, plus a customise-your-own-bowl option to round it all off. And to keep you on track, each bowl displays its calorie count (right down to a breakdown of protein, carbs, and fats) loud and proud. 

Crowd favourites: The Best salad (S$12.80) delivers on its promise, with its medley of kale, beetroot, avocado, and poached chicken breast, plus flying fish roe and a spoonful of nori sushi rice. The Nusa spiced beef (S$16.80) adds a hearty tang, complete with wasabi peas, crispy nuts, and panko broccoli. 

For a supercharged boost, the lite salad (S$12.80) will do the trick with a whole load of supergreens and mixed granola.

Here’s our take on Six Hands at Millenia Walk — both the good and the bad.

16. Prologue Singapore

Why visit? From coffee, tea, breakfast sets, mains, and everything in between — Prologue Singapore will give you that power-packed headstart to the day. The little ones aren’t left out, either, with a kids set meal that comes with a babyccino and a free toy.

Here’s a little secret: Once night falls, the outlet runs a very enticing one-for-one dinner deal, valid for weekday dine-ins after 6pm. Besides that, on weekends, you can also snag a second main at 50% off. If you’re after some girly catch-up time, bring your circle to enjoy a coffee and cake set (S$13) on weekdays between 2pm and 5pm. 

Crowd favourites: The weekday set menu (from S$20) guarantees full and happy bellies with a starter, main, small bites, and a cake or tart. You could also opt to build your own breakfast (from S$6) — starting with a base of sourdough, pancake, or rosti; eggs; and add-ons such as baked beans, half avocado, and halloumi cheese. 

Other popular dishes include the parma ham eggs benedict (S$25), crab pappardelle (S$25), and slow-cooked beef cheek ragu burger with curly fries (S$25). Grab the Korean fried cauliflower (S$12) to share, and top it off with a decadent lava cake with gelato (S$15).

17. Yun Place

Why visit? A sister company of the crowd-favourite Yunnans restaurant, Yun Place specialises in comfort food that feels like a warm hug. It serves up a mix of rice, noodle, and meat dishes, some with a spicy kick.

If you’re not a big spice eater, worry not as the level of spice is very manageable. In fact, it can be quite addictive and may even leave you wanting to come back for more!

The restaurant strives to be as authentic as possible, and the best part? The portions are huge. Be sure to visit hungry, because you’ll leave very satisfied.

Crowd favourites: The Crossing Bridge rice noodles (S$14.90) come in a luxurious porcelain bowl, featuring a large chicken leg atop a nest of beehoon and vegetables. 

The ramen with mashed potatoes and pork (S$11.90) is an interesting addition, with the mashed potato adding a different layer of texture.

If you’re after a solid noodle dish, the spicy and sour noodles with mixed sauce in a copper pot (S$10.90), Yunnan-style cold rice noodles (S$8.90), and stir-fried beef hor fun (S$9.90) offer great value.

If you’re on team rice, the stir-fry set meals come with a hero protein of stir-fried pork (S$13.90) or mapo tofu (S$7.90).

18. Thai Affair

Why visit? Rounding out our Millenia Walk food guide is Thai Affair. Say hello to bold flavours and comforting classics at wallet-friendly prices at this venue. (PS: There’s no GST or service charge here, too! With a playful tongue-in-cheek slogan that reads “The only affair with a happy ending”, you just know your tummies are in for a good time at Thai affair. 

The lunch sets (from S$12.90), which comes with a drink with a main, are extremely popular with the office crowd. The Thai salad sets (from S$14.90) are also a hit with those looking to cut back on some calories. 

Crowd favourites: The Thai whole seabass (S$35) is a real treat, alongside the grilled pork jowl (S$18.90). Don’t leave without trying the signature tom yum (S$16.90), paired with bites of green mango salad (S$10.90) to cut through the spice.

For mains, the unique Thai-style spaghetti set (S$16.90, comes with a drink) is one to go for. Choose a protein, then opt to top it with tom yum, Kee Mao, or green curry sauce. Complete the meal with some of our favourite guilty pleasures: fries with tom yum mayo, Thai fish cakes, and a mini papaya salad (S$3 each).
