Top Rooftop Restaurants in Singapore
Art di Daniele Sperindio
Let's start with the crème de la crème of rooftop restaurants in Singapore.

Of course, the view here is naturally amazing, with its on the rooftop of the National Gallery Singapore—think a 360-degree panoramic vista of the glittering Marina Bay district. But it's not all about the view here. The food shines just as brightly, too. For the best experience, go for the six-course degustation menu to try the restaurant's most iconic dishes.
