Nava

If novelty is your favourite cuisine, Nava translates it well. An &ldquoingredient-driven restaurant,&rdquo Nava experiments with European cuisine and delivers with French methods.

Painted on with passion fruit jelly and jasmine custard, the dessert is as delectable as it is visually appealing. The restaurant was launched early this year, and since then, it has been gaining momentum.

Akina

Although a Japanese restaurant, Akina calls for a Gatsby evening. Inside, velvet cushions line plump sofas&mdashfar from the usual izakaya ambience.
