If you’re looking for a dining destination that is family-friendly, great for special occasions, and removed from the bustle of the city, then let us point you in the direction of Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove. The enclave is the ideal pick for several reasons. On the food front, Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove has a myriad of international dining options, from fresh seafood platters to hearty Thai food, cafe brunches and homely Greek dishes. The vibes are immaculate too, as Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove faces the marina for chill waterfront views while you dine. During the June holiday weekends, there will also be live music performances against the backdrop of the marina, adding to the A+ ambience. Family-friendly activities such as the Pet A Parrot event, and a Cycling Workshop will also be held throughout the month! Finally, Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove will also be offering cashback e-vouchers as part of their SUNsational Rewards’s E-VoucherBack Treats—but more on this at the end of the article. If we’ve incentivised you to head out to Sentosa for your next meal, then let’s take you through the best Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove restaurants so you can find the eatery that best suits your cravings, and lock in your next reservation. For comforting and wallet-friendly Northern Indian cuisine, pay a visit to SHAAN – North Indian Cuisine, a new restaurant in the area. The restaurant’s al fresco area offers waterfront views of Sentosa Cove, all the better to enjoy with their expansive menu of Northern Indian dishes. Choose from a variety of meats, veggies, and more to share with your loved ones.  If you’re spoiled for choice, we highly recommend their Rogan Josh ($22++), where you get chunks of boneless mutton, cooked in an aromatic Kashimiri curry. The Butter Chicken ($21++) is also a standout here, with fork-tender pieces of chicken slow-cooked in a forward sauce. Definitely pair their curries with your pick of fluffy Garlic Naan ($9++) or Cheese Naan ($9++), even both! We’re huge fans of the former, with its strong, garlicky savouriness.  Finally, quench your thirst with some of their refreshing house cocktails, including the sweet Singapore Sling ($16++) and the zesty Frozen Margarita ($18++). FYI: they have a kid’s menu if you’re bringing the little ones. FYI: the restaurant is not a halal-certified eatery due to the presence of alcohol on the premises, but they use halal ingredients and adhere to halal food preparation standards.

Grab your seafood-lovin’ friends and head down to Greenwood Fish Market’s Quayside Isle restaurant. The local seafood connoisseurs are renowned for their fresh, directly imported seafood with Western, Asian, and Japanese influences across the board, and their awe-inspiring seafood towers. Their GFM Signature Cold Seafood Platter ($349.95++) is a must if you’re looking to treat yourself with four to six of your besties, as it comes with a whopping three tiers of seafood. Highlights here include a whole Boston lobster, sweet snow crab legs, briny oysters, mussels, langoustines and more. There are also a handful of “cooked” dishes available with the platter, from applewood cold-smoked salmon to scallop carpaccio.  Unit number: #01-02A to #01-05 Opening hours: Daily 12pm to 10pm Website Greenwood Fish Market is not a halal-certified eatery.

Step into Mykonos On The Bay and you’ll feel transported to Mykonos, thanks to the blue-and-white furnishings, as well as the marina-front view this Mediterranean restaurant boasts. The restaurant is established by owners who have spent time around Greece’s islands, and have eaten more than their fair share of authentic Grecian bites around the country’s tavernas, so expect authenticity here. Must-tries include their Moussaka ($35++) and their Gyros ($31.50++). The former is a creamy Grecian casserole, generously portioned and layered with creamy eggplant, bechamel, and beef ragout. The latter is essentially a DIY pita dish, starring spit-roasted pork shavings that you can pack into fluffy pitas, and top with their refreshing tzatziki dressing.  Unit number: #01-10 Opening hours: Mon-Wed, Fri 12pm to 3pm, 6pm to 10:30pm, Thurs 6pm to 10:30pm, Sat-Sun 12pm to 10:30pm Tel: 6334 3818 Website Mykonos On The Bay is not a halal-certified eatery.

Gin Khao Bistro is not your run-of-the-mill Thai restaurant. In fact, the highly-rated, harbour-side Thai bistro offers some of the most unique dishes from the Land of Smiles we’ve tried, so definitely make a reservation if you’re looking to dine with legit foodies.  Their Watermelon Fried Rice ($28.80++) is a house signature, served in an actual watermelon, instead of the usual pineapple. The rice is fried with a range of seafood, as well as watermelon flesh, and topped with pork floss. We’re huge fans of the Gai Satay ($14.80++), where chargrilled, crispy-skinned chicken satay is served with a fragrant peanut curry sauce. Round off your meal with the all-time classic Mango Sticky Rice ($10.80++), where uber-sweet mango is served with black glutinous rice.
