Top New Restaurants and Shops at VivoCity

Bershka
The fourth and largest boutique of Spanish label Bershka, known for its on-trend, casual looks, is a bright, modish space that houses more menswear items than its other outlets.

Jamie’s Italian
It might be a little overhyped given that back in the UK it’s a reliably affordable chain with more than 30 outlets, but Jamie’s Italian—Jamie Oliver’s first Singapore project—is already backed with a waiting list lasting week. The large space—which has a clear sea view—serves up affordable everyday eats, which are very similar to the chain’s offerings worldwide. There’s Jool’s Favourite Sicilian Tuna Fusilli (from $14), a briny bowlful of house-made pasta, slow-cooked albacore and cinnamon breadcrumb topping, plus grilled chicken with pizziola tomato sauce ($28).

The store will feature plated Magnum desserts—including Goldfinger ($11), a Magnum, crepe, gold nuggets, nuts and chocolate sauce, and A Midsummer’s Night Dream ($18), a Magnum, edible flowers, berries and white chocolate—as well as Magnum cocktails like A Magnum Sunset ($16), orange juice, Galliano, Bols Triple and Magnum.
