Burlamacco

The decadent five-course dinner includes roast duck leg salad with black truffle; pot-cooked rabbit leg; and a traditional Italian steak: a juicy tomahawk cut in aged balsamic jus.

Sabai Fine Thai On The Bay

If you’re in the mood for some spicy Thai fair, this bayside restaurant is cooking up elevated Bangkok street food (Apr 8) where the restaurant gets transformed into a bustling street full of delicious aromas. There are six stations to visit with items like grilled pork skewers, spicy papaya salad, Thai-style crepe with sausage, chicken green curry and Southern-style fish curry vermicelli. Book now!

The Prime Society

The interestingly named Cool Climate Wine Dinner (Apr 9) at this specialty steak restaurant involves a five-course affair with paired wines. There will be seven cool climate wines from Alpine countries like Switzerland and Austria paired with signature dishes, while the in-house sommelier will talk you through how these wines can complement our hot weather food. Book now!

Gattopardo Ristorante di Mare

The seafood-centric Italian restaurant at this Tras Street shophouse hosts an extravagant eight-course dinner covering Italy’s distinct regions. This gastronomic journey through the Italian Peninsula (Apr 10) includes plates of scampi tartare with bottarga; Sicilian noodles with sardines; Barolo wine-braised beef with potato gnocchi; and a crowd favorite, tiramisu. The dinner also comes with a wine pairing, of course. Book now!

Lewin Terrace

The fusion French-Japanese restaurant hidden in lush Fort Canning Park crafts a five-course sake pairing dinner (Apr 27) that explores the five tastes: bitter, salty, umami, sour and sweet. While each course is paired with exquisite sakes (preceded by informative introductions) like junmai daiginjo and junmaishu, the menu is full of fresh dishes like fish marinated in konbu and fresh oysters in sea water jelly. Book now!

Fordham & Grand

Best known as one of the best late-night supper restaurants and wine bars in town, the speakeasy-style joint takes cues from New Zealand chef Peter Gunn’s spontaneous pop-up food movement for an IDES (Apr 30-May 2) six-course dinner involving plates like celeriac cooked in almond milk, monkfish sancho and a wagyu short rib. Book now!

World Gourmet Summit runs from Apr 6-May 3. All events can be booked through exclusive partner Chope.
