When it comes to dining with a view in Singapore, the challenge isn’t finding restaurants with a scenic backdrop - it’s finding those that combine breathtaking vistas with genuinely good food. Thankfully, in this food-lover's city, there are a few gems that offer both.
One of the most popular areas for such an experience is One Fullerton, located near Marina Bay. This stretch offers panoramic views of the Singapore skyline, Marina Bay Sands, and the iconic Merlion, making it a top destination for both tourists and locals. But not every restaurant here is worth your time or money.
Here are four restaurants I’ve personally tried at One Fullerton and my honest thoughts on whether they're worth visiting for both the food and the view.
Brewerkz One Fullerton
Type: Bistro-style, Craft Beer Bar
Best for: Casual hangouts, family dinners, group gatherings
View: Excellent Marina Bay views from the alfresco area
Brewerkz is a go-to for craft beer lovers, with a laid-back vibe perfect for large groups and families. The menu offers classic bistro fare, including finger foods and hearty mains.
What to Try:
- Satay platter
- Baby back ribs
- Focaccilla
While the food choices are a bit limited, they do hit the spot for a casual night out. The desserts, however, didn’t quite impress - definitely not the highlight here.
Verdict: Worth a visit for the beers and view. Food is decent but not standout.
OverEasy
Type: American Diner
Best for: Casual date nights, laid-back dinner
View: Stunning waterside seating with direct Marina Bay views
OverEasy delivers a nostalgic American diner experience with a Singaporean twist. The ambiance especially at the outdoor seating area is one of the best in the area.
What to Try:
- Beer Can Chicken
- To Die for Burger and Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger
- Slow Cooked Beef Cheek
They have a much better food selection compared to neighboring spots, and the service is generally consistent.
Verdict: Good food, great atmosphere - definitely a place to revisit.
Jypsy at One Fullerton
Type: Japanese Fusion
Best for: Aesthetic lovers, casual dining
View: Decent, though not as open as others nearby
Jypsy promises a chic, modern Japanese fusion experience, and the décor certainly lives up to that. However, the food fell short during my visit.
What to Expect:
- Unique fusion dishes with Instagram-worthy plating
- Underwhelming taste and portion sizes
While the presentation was great, the flavor and value didn’t meet expectations, and I haven’t felt compelled to return since.
Verdict: Beautiful space, but food experience was just ok if not underwhelming.
Verdict: Beautiful space, but food experience was just ok if not underwhelming.
Palm Beach Seafood
Type: Local Seafood Cuisine
Best for: Entertaining guests, tourist-friendly local fare
View: Unobstructed views of Marina Bay and Merlion Park
Palm Beach Seafood is where you go when you want to impress a visitor with local cuisine and a postcard-worthy view. It’s famous for its chili crab, but you’ll pay a premium for the setting.
What to Try:
- Chili Crab (of course)
- Black Pepper Crab
- Fried Mantou
That said, locals often skip it due to the high prices, opting for equally delicious chili crab in heartland areas instead.
Verdict: Worth it for the experience, not everyday dining. Great for tourists or special occasions.

Is Dining with a View in Singapore Worth It?
Absolutely - but it depends on what you're looking for. If you're after a romantic evening, scenic spot for guests, or just want to relax by the bay, One Fullerton has great options. Just remember: the view comes at a price, and not all restaurants here deliver the same quality of food.
