Where to Eat & Drink: Club Street & Ann Siang Hill

Last Updated on 19 Oct 2026 • By Adibah Isa

Club Street and Ann Siang Hill pack more personality per square metre than almost anywhere else in Chinatown. Wander these restored shophouse lanes and you'll find genuine range, a 1998 institution serving classic French bistro fare, a 150-year-old Naples pizzeria on its first Southeast Asian outing, and a hidden bar tucked beneath a modern Australian eatery. By day it's quiet lanes and heritage facades, by evening the whole strip lights up with rooftop views, natural wine and late-night grazing. Book ahead, since these spots fill up fast on weekends.

Ready to keep exploring the neighbourhood? Telok Ayer sits just around the corner with its own cluster of cafes and bistros, while Tanjong Pagar rounds things out with an even bigger spread of dining options nearby.

    • Steakhouse
    A long-standing favourite on Ann Siang Road, Les Bouchons has built its name on doing one thing brilliantly: steak frites. Expect tender, juicy cuts served the classic French bistro way, simple and properly done, with generous portions in a lively, bustling room that fills up fast. Why we love it
    It's earned its reputation as champion of steak et frites the honest way, consistently good meat, consistently good chips, every single time. Best for: a hearty steak night out. Must try: the signature steak frites.

    Open since 1998, L'Angelus is one of Singapore's oldest single-location French restaurants, and it still does traditional Parisian dining properly. Tuck into classic plates like escargots and foie gras in a room dressed with old-world charm, then finish, as regulars do, with a crepe for dessert. Why we love it
    Nearly three decades in and L'Angelus hasn't chased trends, it's stuck to honest, classic French cooking, and that's exactly the appeal. Best for: a classic, old-school French dinner. Must try: the escargots and foie gras.

    Chef-owner Marco Guccio named this Gemmill Lane spot after his own family, and his grandmother's portraits still watch over the 40-seat room. The tasting menu leans on seasonal Italian ingredients and proper technique, think Sardinian octopus, Sicilian red prawns, and 48-hour sous-vide beef short rib, plated with real craft. Why we love it
    It's personal in a way most restaurants aren't, Marco cooks his grandmother's Calabria into every seasonal, beautifully composed course on the menu. Best for: an intimate tasting-menu dinner. Must try: the Sardinian octopus starter.
