Why go
Book Latido when the priority is Colombian food at a manageable $$ level rather than a high-drama tasting-menu night. Its Michelin Plate recognition gives it a useful trust signal, easy booking makes it a practical Tanjong Pagar option for a repeat visit or relaxed group dinner.
About Latido
In Singapore, the smart move is to treat Colombian cooking as the reason to consider Latido, not as a novelty add-on. Latido is worth shortlisting when the brief is mid-priced, cuisine-specific, more distinctive than a generic dinner plan. If the plan is a major splurge, look elsewhere; if the plan is a repeatable meal with a clear point of view, this is the stronger use case.
For someone who has been once, the second booking should be about returning to a Colombian restaurant at a $$ level rather than trying to turn the meal into something more elaborate. The value is in seeing how Colombian cooking fits into Singapore's restaurant mix: specific in cuisine, moderate in price, easy to compare against other city dining choices by purpose rather than by ceremony.
Book for Colombian focus, not for fine-dining theatre
The main decision is simple: book if the group wants Colombian food and is comfortable letting the cuisine lead the night. Singapore has depth across many dining styles; Colombian cooking is a narrower lane, which is exactly why this reservation makes sense when the usual shortlist feels repetitive. For broader Singapore planning, Our full Singapore restaurants guide is the better starting point, with citywide options across budgets.
Latido competes more on point of view than on luxury cues. Compared with Bam! it is the better pick when Colombian cuisine is the priority. Compared with Cumi Bali, the choice should come down to which restaurant's current offering better fits the table. Ki Su and Gattopardo Ristorante di Mare can also sit on a broader shortlist, but Latido is the one to choose when the brief is Colombian cuisine in Singapore.
Use it for a clear cuisine choice, not an overbuilt plan
Latido is best framed as a clear, cuisine-led choice rather than a table to build an entire trip around. That matters in Singapore, where different meals often need to serve different purposes: one can be about a specific cuisine, another about convenience, another about a more elaborate occasion. If the group is visiting and wants a broader food map, pair this with other Singapore dining rather than making every meal a reservation.
The off-premise question needs restraint. Do not assume an at-home version of the experience, as delivery or takeaway format is not established. To plan a visit, consider the opening hours: lunch is Tuesday to Saturday, with Saturday starting at 11:30 AM, dinner is Tuesday to Saturday. The restaurant is closed on Monday and Sunday.
For a full Singapore itinerary, the useful move is contrast. Build one meal around this Colombian angle, then use citywide alternatives for different purposes, whether that means another cuisine, a simpler meal, or a more formal dining plan.
The verdict: book Latido when the table wants Colombian cooking in Singapore, $$ pricing, a clearly defined cuisine choice. Skip it if the occasion depends on a highly formal format or a guaranteed off-premise option. For the right plan, its value is clarity: Colombian cuisine, accessible pricing, Michelin Plate recognition in 2025.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Latido positions Colombian cooking with uncommon seriousness on Tras Street, inserting a distinct Latin American voice into a neighbourhood known for high-ticket tasting menus and long-established French and Japanese rooms. The restaurant earns a Michelin Plate in 2025, signalling that its flavours and execution register at an elevated level even as its $$ pricing keeps it accessible. The writing highlights a spirited bar dimension that blends Colombian drinking traditions with agave-focused trends, so the room reads as both considered and current — an approachable, stylish entry in Tanjong Pagar’s competitive dining strip.
Best For
Latido is best-suited to evening visits where the Michelin recognition and a focused spirits program come into play. It works well for couples seeking an elevated but not prohibitively expensive dinner, and for groups of friends looking for thoughtful plates paired with agave-forward drinks. Because the profile emphasises serious cooking and a bar culture that references mezcal, tequila and traditional Colombian spirits, the venue naturally aligns with after-work drinks that segue into dinner rather than daytime brunches or quick takeaway runs.
Ordering Tips
Prioritise the house’s expression of Colombian flavours and the spirits program when deciding what to order: the description highlights Colombia’s aguardiente and coastal rums and a contemporary cross-pollination with Mexican agave culture, so cocktails or pours that showcase mezcal or traditional Colombian spirits are logical choices. Keep in mind Latido’s Michelin Plate status and mid-range price positioning—expect carefully considered dishes that are approachable in price but precise in execution. The write-up suggests leaning into the bar menu as a complement to the food.

How Latido compares in Singapore
Choose Latido over Bam! when cuisine identity matters more than an innovative format. Both sit in the $$ zone, but Bam! is the better fit for diners who want a more experimental meal, while Latido is the clearer choice for Colombian cooking and a lower-pressure booking.
Cumi Bali is the closest value comparison because it also offers a cuisine-specific meal at $$. Pick Cumi Bali for Indonesian food and a more casual regional benchmark; pick Latido when the table wants something less common in Singapore's usual restaurant rotation. Ki Su is the better cross-shop for vegetarian-led dining rather than a direct cuisine substitute.
For a more occasion-coded meal, compare it with Gattopardo Ristorante di Mare or Ingleside. Those are stronger candidates when ambiance and a more polished night matter more than price discipline. Latido wins on ease and specificity; the others make more sense when the room is as important as the food.
