Housed in Singapore’s oldest yet still progressive museum (National Museum of Singapore), Food For Thought exudes heritage charm and grandeur, with lots of natural light. Playing to the mantra of ‘Share the Good Times’, the restaurant’s appearance honours Singaporean traditions through an emphasis on stories. Food For Thought's space invites you to share conversations about our city’s past, present and future.

The beautiful marble table tops, wall mosaic and wooden chairs are a homage to the home-style dining rooms and kopitiams in which many Singaporeans grew up with. Due to Food For Thought's museum locale, you’d find carefully curated items and exclusive Singaporean tales on the feature shelf in the atrium of the restaurant too.

Food For Thought serves up hearty, community-inspired bistro fare – honest food in Southeast Asian flavours with a globalised influence. Their menu showcases unique food dishes inspired by exhibits within the museum as well, so be sure to check back often! (Jan 2019)

"For a space in a museum, Food For Thought at the National Museum of Singapore gets pretty packed, however, and for good reason. The eatery does cafe fare with a distinctive identity, from Singapore-style recreations of standards to Asian-fusion takes on local classics." -The Straits Times
