Judging from their growing popularity, the newest battleground for the hearts (and stomachs) of Singaporeans lies amidst the paella pans and planchas of Spain. And with its innovative blend of tapas bar casual and fine dining, Binomio on Craig Road is definitely a heavyweight favourite.

If you're worried about whether the team can successfully pull off the contrast between casual and elegant, then let us tell you now: don't. The food, both tapas and full-on dining mains, is refined, elegant, and top-notch. With Executive Chef Jose Alonso having worked at multiple Michelin-starred establishments, and most recently with the late Santi Santamaria, there is a discernible mastery to the way the ingredients are cooked, and the flavours coaxed into full bloom, that quickly explains Binomio's meteoric rise to stardom in the local dining scene.

So whether you're looking to experience the vibrantly bustling atmosphere of a tapas bar, or the serene refinement of a fine-dining restaurant, you'll do well at Binomio. Their one-two combination is a definite knockout. (Jun 2013)
