For this sixth edition of Singapore Restaurant Week, the organisers will unveil a new and exciting element – ‘The Grand Tour of Taste’.

Miss Desi Wentink, Managing Director of DiningCity Singapore, proudly shares: “We want to serve only the best for our Restaurant Week patrons, which is why we have worked closely with restaurants to bring forth ‘The Grand Tour of Taste’ for this latest edition. Restaurants will showcase their trademark items through these tantalising grand tasting platters, so that every single guest will have the opportunity to fully enjoy each restaurant’s culinary marvels. At the recent Singapore Restaurant Week October 2012, we have garnered an astounding number of 37,000 reservations, and we are all fired up to surpass this feat with even more seats for dining enthusiasts.”
The ever-expanding list of participating restaurants now stands at close to 105, with notable new additions such as the widely acclaimed modern French restaurant Gunther's, contemporary Spanish concept Fandango Tapas & Wine Bar, new local eatery Violet Oon’s Kitchen, Parsley & Thyme, and Etna at Duxton.
