VivoCity is Singapore's biggest mall and it has 153 places to eat. Every one of them is listed below with its unit number, pulled from VivoCity's own store directory and re-checked daily, so nothing on this page is a shop that shut last year. Above that is the short list: 27 worth walking to.

The floor logic matters more here than at most malls. B2 is the cheap and fast basement and it connects straight to HarbourFront MRT, so it is where you eat if you have twenty minutes. Level 1 is the waterfront strip with the al fresco tables. Level 3 is the big sit down cluster, and it is also where you catch the Sentosa Express.

The list

Hikiniku to Come at VivoCity

1. Hikiniku to Come

NEWVivoCity #01-102/103

Hamburg steak from Tokyo's Kichijoji. They grind the beef in store every morning, grill it over charcoal in front of you, and cook the rice in a hagama pot. You finish the patty yourself on a hot stone, which is half the fun.

NEWVivoCity #01-102ORA/104/105

Osaka yakitori chain with 600 plus outlets in Japan, and every plate here is $3.90++ for two skewers. That flat price is the whole trick: you order twelve things without doing sums.

Kott-Don 360 at VivoCity

3. Kott-Don 360

NEWVivoCity #02-123

Korean aged meat, grilled at your table. The name is the pitch: 360 hours of ageing on the premium black pork. Go with people who will argue about who does the flipping.

HAKKA YU at VivoCity

4. HAKKA YU

NEWVivoCity #02-141

Hakka cooking from a chain with more than 90 stores in China, founded 2013. Salt, fat and slow cooking. If you have only had Hakka food at a wedding dinner, this is a different thing.

Shabu Suki 99 at VivoCity

5. Shabu Suki 99

NEWVivoCity #01-99

One pot each, so nobody fights over the broth and nobody has to eat someone else's chilli. Mix and match sets, which makes it easy for a group that cannot agree.

6. LITTLE POND

NEWVivoCity #02-142

Prawn and fish dishes from the team that started in Holland Village in 2024. Small menu, done properly.

Food Republic at VivoCity

7. Food Republic

OPENVivoCity #03-01

27,000 square feet, 30 plus stalls, done up like early 1900s Singapore right down to a Chinese sedan chair. This is the one to bring a group to when everyone wants something different.

🍽 30+ hawker stalls

8. Kopitiam Food Hall

OPENVivoCity #B2-40

Thirty stalls in the basement plus a bar doing local cocktails. Michelin listed Ann Chin Handmade Popiah trades here, which is the reason to come down rather than up.

Encik Tan at VivoCity

OPENVivoCity #B2-45

A halal certified mini food court doing the Chinese hawker dishes that are usually off limits: Hainanese curry rice, wanton mee, claypot rice. Genuinely useful if your group is mixed.

10. Yew Kee Specialities

OPENVivoCity #B2-47

Teochew braised duck, the braise built on a herb and spice mix handed down from the founder's father. This is the cheap plate of the basement now that the scissors-cut curry rice has gone. Get the duck with rice and the beancurd, and eat the chilli.

11. Song Fa Bak Kut Teh

OPENVivoCity #B2-13/14

Peppery Teochew pork rib soup, at it since 1969. Ask for the soup refill, it is free and it is the point.

Curry puff, eat it walking. Been doing it since 1956 and it is still the correct answer when you are early for a movie.

Xiao long bao folded behind glass. Nobody in the group ever objects, which is exactly why it is always full.

14. PUTIEN

OPENVivoCity #02-131

Fujian cooking, and the fried Heng Hwa bee hoon with ten ingredients is the dish to judge them on. Quieter and more grown up than most of this level.

15. Paradise Dynasty

OPENVivoCity #02-128

Eight coloured xiao long bao in one steamer, from crab roe to cheese to Szechuan. It is a gimmick and it is also genuinely fun to eat through with someone.

HaiDiLao HotPot at VivoCity

16. HaiDiLao HotPot

OPENVivoCity #03-09

Sichuan hotpot with the famous service: free snacks while you queue, an apron for your clothes, a hair tie if you need one. Come hungry and with time.

17. Dancing Crab

OPENVivoCity #03-10

Crab dumped straight onto butcher paper on your table, no plates, no cutlery worth mentioning. Boston lobster through to Dungeness crab, plus a bar and live music.

Marché at VivoCity

18. Marché

OPENVivoCity #03-14

They shipped in 500 year old Swiss mountain houses and an actual cable car to build this. You walk around with a card and collect rösti, paella and pork knuckle from stations. Kids love it, adults pretend not to.

19. YANG MING SEAFOOD (KELONG)

OPENVivoCity #02-158/159

The seafood restaurant that replaced Seafood Paradise upstairs, from the Ubi and Bishan zi char people. Live tanks at the front, so it is the one to book when the table wants crab and a spread rather than a set. Sit-down prices, not hawker prices.

Shake Shack at VivoCity

20. Shake Shack

OPENVivoCity #01-163

Angus smashburgers and frozen custard, with waterfront al fresco seating. Sitting outside facing the water is the whole reason to pick this branch.

Brotzeit German Bier Bar at VivoCity

21. Brotzeit German Bier Bar

OPENVivoCity #01-149

Homegrown since 2006. Oven roasted pork knuckle, their own sausages, cold beer, and tables outside facing the harbour. Best at sunset.

OPENVivoCity #B2-35

Gelato made from fruits, flowers, herbs and spices rather than straight sugar. Homegrown, and the queue moves faster than it looks.

Awfully Chocolate at VivoCity

23. Awfully Chocolate

OPENVivoCity #01-155

Started in 1998 with one chocolate cake and not much else. The hei ice cream is the sleeper order.

Croissants and pastries, and a decent flat white. The correct stop before you walk the boardwalk to Sentosa.

NEWVivoCity #B2-K25

Uji matcha from Kyoto, whisked by hand when you order it. Slower than a bubble tea queue and that is the point.

Chengdu bubble tea chain, founded 2008, now in the basement. Fruit teas are the stronger half of the menu.

Quick answers

How do I get to VivoCity by MRT?

Take the North East Line or the Circle Line to HarbourFront station. VivoCity is directly connected, and the B2 basement opens straight onto the station, so you can be eating within a couple of minutes of getting off.

What time does VivoCity close?

The mall runs 10am to 10pm daily. VivoCity does not publish opening hours for individual outlets, so if you are making a special trip for one restaurant, check that brand's own page or call ahead.

Where is the cheapest food at VivoCity?

The B2 basement. Kopitiam Food Hall at #B2-40 has 30 stalls, Encik Tan at #B2-45 is a halal-certified mini food court, and the scissors-cut curry rice at #B2-23A is old-school cheap. Upstairs, Food Republic at #03-01 has 30 plus stalls at hawker prices.

Is there halal food at VivoCity?

Yes, and there is more of it here than at most malls. 32 of the 153 places to eat at VivoCity are tagged halal certified in VivoCity's own store directory: 4Fingers Crispy Chicken, A&W, Auntie Anne's, Battercatch, Burger King, Eat Pizza, Encik Tan, Flipper's, Fruit Paradise, Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice, Gyogyo, Jollibee, Kazo, Kenangan Coffee, KFC, Krispy Kreme, Mamma Mia! Trattoria E Caffe, McDonald's, Nasty Cookie, Old Chang Kee, PappaRich, Paris Baguette, Polar Puffs & Cakes, Poulét, Sanook Kitchen, Shabu Suki 99, Stuff'd, Swensen’s Unlimited, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Tim Hortons, VietSmith and WOK HEY. We re-check that list daily, but the certificate is the shop's to hold, so look for it at the counter if it matters to you.

Can I get to Sentosa from VivoCity?

Three ways, all from the mall. The Sentosa Express monorail leaves from Lobby L on Level 3, you can walk across on the boardwalk from the promenade, or take bus RWS8 from the stop on Telok Blangah Road.

Where can I eat outside at VivoCity?

Level 1 is the waterfront strip. Shake Shack at #01-163 and Brotzeit at #01-149 both have al fresco tables facing the harbour, and both are best around sunset.

How much is parking at VivoCity?

On weekdays between 4am and midnight it is $1.60 for the first hour then $0.80 per half hour after. On weekends and public holidays it is $2.20 then $1.10. There are over 2,000 spaces across the basement and the multi-storey. Rates are the mall's published ones as of February 2026.
