Quick answer: Holland Village packs a lot into a few streets—quiet omakase at Torio, Aussie-style brunch at Surrey Hills Grocer, buttery pastries at Butter Town, and smoky Korean BBQ at Wang Dae Bak. Fireplace by Bedrock does wood-fired meats with proper drama, while Chimichanga and The Pocha bring the noise for Mexican and Korean street food late into the night. Here’s where to eat, depending on the occasion.
Holland Village dining doesn’t have to burn a hole in your pocket if you know where to point your dollar. Some places give you more plate for the price—whether it’s the off-peak timing, the sharing portion that feeds two, or the experience that counts as entertainment. This list picks the spots where savvy ordering turns a meal into a small win.

Torio Japanese Restaurant
Torio is the kind of place where a meal feels like a quiet ceremony, tucked inside Pacific Plaza on Scotts Road. They focus on omakase—multi-course menus built around Hokkaido uni, A5 Wagyu, and seasonal sashimi that arrive like small, precise works of art. The counter seats give you a front-row view of the knife work, and the sake list is chosen to lift each course, not just fill a glass. If you want a special-occasion dinner where the chef calls the shots, this is it.
- Address: 9 Scotts Road, #01-01/02/03 Pacific Plaza, Singapore 228210
- Phone: +65 6514 0115
- Hours: Tue–Sun lunch 11:45am–2:30pm, dinner 6pm–10pm
- Website: Torio Japanese Restaurant
Torio is a special-occasion call, but the counter seat earns its keep—you’re paying for the knife show as much as the uni. Save it for a milestone and the omakase feels like a full evening’s entertainment, not just dinner.
Surrey Hills Grocer
Surrey Hills Grocer brings a slice of Melbourne right into Holland Village. It is part café, part gourmet grocer, perched on the third floor. The Truffle Wagyu Burger is a mainstay, and the Smashed Avocado Toast gets a lift from native herbs and microgreens. Their single-origin coffee is traced back to the farm, and you can browse small-batch wines and hampers after your meal. Grab a window seat for the afternoon light—it makes a long brunch feel even better.
- Address: 7 Holland Vlg Wy, #03-29, Singapore 275748
- Phone: 8332 1431
- Hours: Daily 10am–10pm

We put this list together ourselves – nobody paid to be on it. If you run something that belongs here, tell us about it.
The coffee is worth the trip alone, but the real value is in the grocer section—same quality ingredients you just ate, at shelf prices. Strategise your visit around a lazy afternoon where the window seat and one good brew stretch out.
Butter Town
Butter Town runs a pastry stall out of Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre, and the smell of caramelising butter will find you first. They turn out kouign-amann, pain au chocolat, and croissants with a lamination that shatters just right. The Salted Butter Kouign-Amann is a caramelised, flaky tower, while seasonal fruit tarts change with what is good at the market. Single-origin teas round out the ritual. Come early on weekends—the stall opens at noon and things sell fast.
- Address: 202C Woodleigh Link, Singapore 363202 (Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre)
- Phone: +65 8751 6007
- Hours: Daily: 5pm onwards (noon on weekends)
- Website: Butter Town
Pastries this flaky don’t last past mid-morning. Go early for the full selection and a shorter wait—your reward is a kouign-amann with caramelised edges that still crunch. Pair it with a single-origin tea and you’ve got a ritual that feels far more expensive than it is.
Wang Dae Bak Grill
Wang Dae Bak Grill sits on the second floor of Holland Piazza, and the smell of charcoal hits you at the door. Their Korean BBQ sets come with a spread of banchan that keeps rotating, so you never get bored. The Signature Seafood Pancake is crisp-edged and packed with prawns and squid, and the Charcoal-Grilled Wagyu is the one to order when you feel like treating yourself. The grilling happens right at your table, which makes every dinner feel damn shiok with a group. Just don’t wear your best shirt—the grill smoke clings.
- Address: 3 Lorong Liput, Holland Piazza Level 2, Singapore 277725
- Phone: +65 6225 2646
- Hours: Daily 11:30am–10:30pm
- Website: Wang Dae Bak Grill
The banchan rotation alone keeps the meal interesting at no extra cost, but the table grilling is the draw—bring a group of four and the sets break down to a reasonable per-head that includes the full charcoal aroma experience.
Fireplace by Bedrock
Fireplace by Bedrock is from the same team behind Bedrock Bar & Grill, but here the fire takes centre stage. The Suckling Pig—a Spanish Iberico—gets slow-roasted over applewood until the skin crackles, and the Dirty Duck is spice-marinated, sous-vided, then seared hard. The open kitchen means the whole room carries that orchard smoke, which is half the draw. Truffled pommes and heirloom salads round out the table. It suits a date where you want some drama on the plate and a bit of privacy.
- Address: 7 Holland Village Way, #03-27/28, One Holland Village, Singapore 275748
- Phone: +65 6589 8760
- Hours: Lunch daily 11:30am–3pm; dinner Sun–Thu 6pm–10pm, Fri–Sat 6pm–10:30pm
- Website: Fireplace by Bedrock
The woodsmoke in the air is on the house, and the sharing plates like the Suckling Pig are sized to split. A couple can make do with one main and a salad, leaving room for the theatre of the open kitchen without over-ordering.
Chimichanga
Chimichanga brings a proper Mexican cantina energy to Holland Piazza. The Baja Fish Tacos have a crisp batter that holds up, and the Quesabirria—a cheesy, birria-stuffed creation dipped in consommé—is messy in the best way. House-made salsas bring real heat, and the mezcal list gives you a reason to linger. It is the kind of place where a group dinner turns into a fiesta without much effort. Go for the outdoor seats if you can; the indoor space can get loud in the best way.
- Address: 3 Lorong Liput, #01-02, Holland Piazza, Singapore 277725
- Phone: 6015 0280
- Hours: Lunch Mon–Fri 11:30am–2pm, Sat–Sun 12pm–3pm; dinner daily 5:30pm–9:30pm
- Website: Chimichanga
We put this list together ourselves – nobody paid to be on it. If you run something that belongs here, tell us about it. Meanwhile, for more grilled meat inspiration, BBQ Restaurants in Singapore Savor Flavors for Every Craving has plenty to dig into.
The Baja Fish Tacos come three to a plate and are built for passing around. Combine them with the Quesabirria for a messy, communal spread that keeps the table happy while the mezcal does the rest. Outdoor seats mean the fiesta lasts as long as you do.
The Pocha Singapore
The Pocha Singapore channels a Seoul pojangmacha along Lor Mambong, complete with neon lights and plastic stools. The Half and Half Chicken—one half sweet-glazed, the other spicy—is the crowd-favourite, and the Seafood Tofu Ramyun arrives bubbling and briny. Soju flows late, especially on Fridays when they stay open till 2am. Ideal for a supper session with your K-drama-loving kakis. The plastic stools and neon keep the mood resolutely casual; no one dresses up here.

How to choose
First, think about the vibe you are after. For a hushed, fine-dining experience, Torio and Fireplace are your best bets—book ahead, especially for dinner. Both have counter seating that adds to the intimacy. If you want a hands-on, smoke-filled meal, Wang Dae Bak’s tabletop grills or The Pocha’s late-night street food are hard to beat. Brunch people should head to Surrey Hills Grocer; pastry lovers know Butter Town opens at 5pm on weekdays (noon on weekends) and sells out fast—go right at opening.
Budget-wise, a kouign-amann costs a few dollars, while an omakase dinner at Torio can run into the hundreds. Mid-range spots like Wang Dae Bak and Chimichanga hover around $30–$50 a head without drinks; Fireplace sits higher. Most of these places line Lor Mambong and the Holland Piazza mall, all within a short stroll from Holland Village MRT (Circle Line). Parking can be tight, so leave the car at home on weekends.
If you are walking in without a reservation, arriving before 7pm on Friday or Saturday ups your chances. Surrey Hills Grocer and The Pocha tend to be easier for walk-ins. For groups larger than four, always call ahead—some kitchens prep for set sizes. And if you are after a quiet corner, avoid the peak dinner crush at Chimichanga; the outdoor tables are slightly more chilled. Each spot gives you a different slice of Holland Village’s personality, so let the occasion guide you.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Torio | Japanese Omakase | Intimate, calm | Torio Omakase | $$$$ |
| Surrey Hills Grocer | Australian café | Relaxed brunch | Truffle Wagyu Burger | $$-$$$ |
| Butter Town | French pastry | Hawker-style, quick | Salted Butter Kouign-Amann | $ |
