Michelin Guide Singapore Gastrobar Pop-Ups to Showcase The Best of the Mixology and Culinary Collaboration of Singapore!
Delving into ways to explore the world without leaving your home comes the newest way to invite Singaporeans and residents to visit countries through their palates, thanks to the MICHELIN Guide Gastrobar Pop-ups, in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board.
With four bars (Tess Bar & Kitchen, Junior THE Pocket Bar, No Sleep Club, and Native) and four MICHELIN-recommended restaurants (Buona Terra, OLA COcina del Mar, Zén, Labyrinth) carefully selected to showcase the variety and international diversity of Singapore’s F&B scene, each bar is paired with a restaurant to host a pop-up. These pop-up collaborations will highlight local ingredients in innovative ways to showcase the best of what each country has to offer, with 3-5 handcrafted cocktails paired with bites or snacks. One of these cocktails will be locally inspired, a testament to how the local cocktail scene has so much to offer.
“We have seen the cocktail scene grow exponentially in Singapore over the past decade, placing it among the top capitals of the world when it comes to mixology,” says Nicolas Achard, Managing Director of Michelin Food & Beverage Asia. “It is thrilling for the MICHELIN Guide to bring the worlds of cocktails and food closer together to create new explorations and synergy between chefs and bartenders, and we hope this gives guests of both genres something to look forward to as they travel through their palate.”
Ms Ranita Sundra, Director of Retail and Dining, Singapore Tourism Board said: “We are excited to partner Michelin in offering locals new foodie experiences at the selected bars and MICHELIN-recommended restaurants. We encourage everyone to support our local chefs, bartenders and food personalities, while rediscovering our gastronomic culture in unexpected ways. We are also encouraged by the resilience and innovation of the local F&B industry in reinventing their offerings in these challenging times, while continuing to set Singapore apart as a top culinary destination.”
