Il Lido Sentosa Gold Club 27 Bukit Manis Road Singapore Tel: +65 6866 1977 www.il-lido.com

Its location overlooking the water on balmy Sentosa just can’t be beat. In fact, many Singaporeans will tell you that Il Lido’s veranda is one of the best places on the island to watch the sun set with a cool drink in hand. But what ultimately draws diners to ditch the city and come here is the fine Italian fare, which includes homemade pastas, plump, perfectly poached monkfish, and the beautifully braised Wagyu beef cheeks. The sleek designer interiors don’t hurt either.
