CAPASSO

CAPASSO is in Singapore.

Five courses is the clearest reason to consider the restaurant, especially in Telok Ayer’s Central Business District, where after-work dining and lounge-bar options compete for the same night out. For a first visit in, book this for a format-led evening rather than a quick casual meal: the draw is having a tasting menu, à la carte choices, and cocktails under one roof.

A flexible dining-and-lounge format in the CBD

The pitch is practical: the restaurant works when the table wants options. The kitchen blends Italian, Spanish, and Japanese influences, with a curated 5-course tasting menu for diners who want structure and an à la carte route for those who do not. That makes it easier to plan than a tasting-menu-only room, while the lounge bar adds a second mode before or after dinner.

The atmosphere is designed to feel comfortable with a dressed-up edge rather than formal for formality’s sake. There is a private dining room with an artisan chandelier and custom-designed saddle leather chairs, plus a VIP whisky and wine room for a more contained setting. That matters for a first-timer: this is not just a table-and-go setup, so the room choice can shape the evening.

What to focus on for a first booking

Clearest food signal is the Tomahawk Steak, which is singled out in the venue material, with Tiger Prawn Aglio e Olio also called out. Use those as anchors if ordering à la carte. If the table wants a more directed experience, the 5-course menu is the cleaner choice.

Friday night mixology sessions are the timing hook for the lounge side. Choose Friday when cocktails are part of the plan; choose another night when the priority is the dining format itself. With no public price or awards signal to lean on here, the recommendation is format-based: book if the appeal is a polished CBD room that can move from dinner to drinks without changing venues.
