    Why go

    Olivia is a practical Keong Saik Road choice for an easy Singapore booking, especially if a repeat visit makes more sense at lunch than dinner. The 2026 MICHELIN Plate gives it a quality signal, but choose Imbue or Poise for a higher-spend occasion and Foc (Clarke Quay) for clearer $$ value.

    About Olivia

    Olivia is a Singapore restaurant with lunch and dinner hours on most days, dinner service on Monday. The practical reason to plan ahead is the schedule: lunch is listed from Tuesday to Sunday, while dinner is listed every day of the week. Dress code is smart casual.

    The restaurant carries a 2026 MICHELIN Plate, which is a useful recognition note. Treat Olivia as a Singapore dining option where the key facts are its hours, smart-casual dress code, MICHELIN Plate recognition.

    Use it for a repeat visit when lunch makes more sense than another dinner

    For someone who has already been once, the repeat-booking logic is timing. Lunch service is listed Tuesday through Sunday, with 12–2 PM hours from Tuesday to Thursday and 12–2:30 PM hours from Friday to Sunday. Dinner is listed daily from 6–10:30 PM.

    For booking difficulty, menu structure, price, or service format, compare Olivia with other Singapore dining rooms based on the basics you can check before reserving. Foc (Clarke Quay), Imbue, Poise, Nicolas, Nicolas Le Restaurant may also be useful names to consider depending on the occasion, but Olivia's distinction here is its 2026 MICHELIN Plate and its lunch-and-dinner schedule.

    Know Before You Go

    • Good for: diners planning around listed lunch and dinner hours in Singapore.
    • Less ideal for: diners who need menu specifics, seating format, bar seating, pricing, or dietary-policy details before choosing.
    • Recognition: 2026 MICHELIN Plate.
    • Area: Singapore.
    • Plan B: consider Foc (Clarke Quay), Imbue, Poise, Nicolas, or Nicolas Le Restaurant if another Singapore option fits the occasion better.

    If the goal is a broader Singapore eating plan, pair this with wider city lists rather than forcing one meal to do everything: Singapore restaurants, Singapore bars, Singapore hotels, Singapore experiences, Singapore wineries. For citywide cross-shopping, compare Olivia with other Singapore dining rooms generically unless you have current details from the venue itself.

    The takeThe restaurant is best for social evening dining when groups want to share plates and explore regional Catalan flavours. Its tapas register and street-level presence make it a natural pick for friends or couples looking for a lively, stylish night out rather than a white-tablecloth tasting experience. While the project sits within Singapore’s elevated European scene, the focus on regional recipes and shared formats makes Olivia especially well suited to casual celebrations, date nights that favor atmosphere, and group meals where dishes are passed around the table.

    The take

    The Take

    The Vibe

    Olivia positions itself as a neighbourhood Catalan tapas room that bridges local Keong Saik heritage and European hospitality. Housed among repurposed pre-war shophouses, the space leans on an explicitly Barcelona-rooted design language — the interior is by Rosa-Violán — which gives the dining room a considered, continental feel without tipping into formality. The ground-floor, street-facing layout encourages a social, walk-in energy that complements the tapas format: convivial, slightly buzzy and attentive to texture and shared plates rather than longueurs of a tasting-menu restaurant.

    Ordering Tips

    Lean into the shared-plates format: choose a mix of the signature savoury items and a rice or grill dish to balance textures. The listed highlights — Suckling Pig Belly and Black Rice with Grilled Prawn — read as anchor plates for a communal meal; pair them with smaller tapas to sample contrasts of land and sea. Finish with Olivia’s Creamy Homemade Cheesecake for a familiar, comforting close. The restaurant’s tapas orientation and street-level walk-in energy reward ordering for the table rather than single, plated mains.

    How It Compares

    Against Imbue and Poise, Olivia is the lower-commitment choice. Imbue and Poise carry $$$ positioning and make more sense when the meal itself is the main event; Olivia is easier to justify when the priority is a recognized restaurant on Keong Saik Road with less planning pressure.

    Foc (Clarke Quay) is the better value-led pick if Spanish food and a $$ signal are the deciding factors. Nicolas gives a French $$ alternative for diners who want a more classic category choice, while Nicolas Le Restaurant is worth cross-shopping when that specific room or format fits the group better.

    For booking ease, Olivia has the advantage: it is listed as easy to book, which makes it a sensible fallback when the higher-spend peers are not available or feel too formal for the occasion. For ambiance, choose based on the night's purpose: Clarke Quay for a livelier Spanish meal, Keong Saik for a polished central dinner or lunch, the $$$ peers when the table needs to feel more occasion-driven.
