Embrace global tapas flavours in a gorgeous shophouse
If you want a dinner in Singapore that feels more personal than a standard restaurant booking, this private tapas night inside a restored Joo Chiat shophouse is a strong pick. It is best for groups of 4 or more who want a cosy, character-filled setting and Mediterranean small plates with a twist. Think Spanish-style tapas layered with North African and Middle Eastern flavours, not the usual bar bites menu. You’ll share at least 5 tapas, which may include dips, flatbread, croquettes and BBQ dishes, with a glass of Tinto Verano included. The setting is a big part of the experience too. You can dine in the relaxed open-plan first floor, or on good-weather evenings head up to a rooftop corner styled like a small Moroccan lounge with floor seating. Because this takes place in a lived-in heritage home, it feels rooted in Joo Chiat rather than staged for tourists. Guests often mention the warmth of the welcome as much as the food. It works especially well for birthdays, catch-ups and travellers who want a more intimate night out with friends. What to Expect Private 2-hour dining experience for your group At least 5 tapas to share, inspired by Spanish, North African and Middle Eastern flavours Dishes may include dips, flatbread, croquettes, BBQ items and other small plates A glass of Tinto Verano included Option to dine on the first floor or rooftop in the evening, weather permitting Additional Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, wine and beer available to order Good to Know Minimum booking is for 4 guests Rooftop seating depends on weather and is available in the evening only Vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free and other dietary needs can usually be accommodated with advance notice This is a shared-plates experience, so it suits guests who enjoy relaxed, social dining The experience takes place in a private home setting, so expect something more intimate than a regular restaurant

Meet your host

Born from Natalie’s and Al’s passion for food, wine, and Joo Chiat, this venture reflects their deep roots in the neighbourhood. As long-time residents, they’ve contributed to and witnessed the evolution of one of Singapore’s coolest districts. Their first experience launched in 2021 — a private dining concept inspired by Al’s Mediterranean culinary heritage and set in their beautifully renovated Peranakan shophouse.
