Perched on verdant Fort Canning Hill, the all-day dining space segues seamlessly into a jazzy cocktail lounge at sunset. The signature cocktails pay tribute to the area’s rich and layered history, journeying from the reign of Malay royalty to the strategic British command posts. The 1822, a refreshing mix of vodka, torched ginger, calamansi and nutmeg tincture, marks the year Sir Stamford Raffles founded Singapore’s first Botanical and Experimental Garden on this very hill. Those who like their martinis savoury should try the crisp Olive III – olive gin, olive vermouth and olive brine with hickory smoke and Pecorino Romano. Sundowners during the bar’s Canning Hour make the climb up the hill worthwhile; easy-going spritzes are paired with elevated bar bites like Battered Sea Bass Soldiers.
