Robertson Quay, Tiong Bahru & River Valley

Robertson Quay, Tiong Bahru and River Valley mix riverside restaurants, a well-loved hawker market and quiet residential streets, making this a relaxed part of town for an unhurried meal.

Wild/Fire at UE Square pairs dry-aged burgers with wood-fired steaks, craft beer and cocktails. Skirt & Dirt at Tiong Bahru Market calls itself the home of the cheese skirt burger, with a crisp cheddar frill around the patty. One Fattened Calf at New Bahru serves grass-fed beef burgers on potato buns baked in-house, and Phat Burger Bro at Valley Point leads with a USDA beef double cheeseburger on a sesame milk bun.

Tiong Bahru MRT is closest to the market and New Bahru, while Great World and Fort Canning MRT stations serve River Valley and UE Square. Tiong Bahru Market is busiest on weekend mornings and lunchtimes, so check stall hours before you go. Mall car parks at UE Square and Valley Point are the simplest places to park.
