The 9 must-visit places at Dempsey Hill

Dempsey Hill isn’t the most accessible of dining enclaves in Singapore, but that hasn’t stopped anyone from making a trip or two over there.

The hill-top area is steeped in history. Its colonial buildings once housed British and Singaporean soldiers, then furniture shops and art galleries, and more recently a slew of upscale restaurants and eateries. Certainly, Dempsey Hill is a popular spot for expats to get away from the bustling city and have brunch in peace. Yet, this isn’t just a cafe hotspot.

After several small-scale renovations, Dempsey Hill has been welcoming new concepts. Luxury hotelier, COMO, has taken up a good amount of space for a variety of concepts such as The Dempsey Cookhouse and a refreshed Culina bistro/marketplace.

Here’s where else to eat around the area:

• Blu Kouzina
• Candlenut
• Culina at COMO Dempsey
• The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar
• Jam at Siri House
• Min Jiang at Dempsey
• Bincho at Min Jiang
• Morsels
• Open Farm Community
