Bayshore Bites: 5 Must-Try Food Spots in Singapore’s East

With the opening of the Bayshore MRT station, this laid-back stretch of Singapore’s East Coast is more accessible than ever. Nestled between residential calm and the breezy park, Bayshore isn’t just a transit point; it’s a gateway to some fantastic dining experiences. Whether you’re a local resident staying at the upcoming Vela Bay or one of the existing Bayshore condos around or just exploring the new train line, here are 5 great food places near Bayshore to check out.

1. Hua Yu Wee Seafood Restaurant Step back in time at this culinary landmark on Upper East Coast Road. Housed in a grand 1950s colonial bungalow, Hua Yu Wee is one of the last remaining old-school seafood restaurants of its kind. It’s the perfect spot for a family feast, famously known for its classic Singaporean chilli crab and black pepper crab. The nostalgic ambiance and consistently delicious zi char dishes make it a must-visit for a taste of history.

2. Alto Cafe For a hidden gem experience, find your way to Alto Cafe, tucked snugly within the Bayshore Park Condominium. This botanical-themed cafe offers a serene escape with its lush, plant-filled interior. It’s an excellent choice for a relaxed weekend brunch or a quiet coffee. Their menu features hearty breakfast plates, pastas, and freshly baked pastries that pair perfectly with a cup of their artisanal coffee.

3. East Coast Lagoon Food Village No food guide to the East is complete without mentioning this iconic hawker centre. Just a short distance from the Bayshore area, it offers the quintessential Singaporean dining experience right by the beach. Come evening, the air fills with the smoky aroma of grilling satay and BBQ chicken wings. Grab a table under the stars and feast on local favourites like Hokkien mee and crispy oyster omelette amidst a lively, communal atmosphere.

4. Next Door Spanish Cafe Head slightly down the road to the vibrant Siglap neighbourhood for a European treat. Next Door Spanish Cafe is a cosy, inviting spot perfect for a date night or a dinner with friends. They specialise in authentic tapas and hearty paellas. Share a jug of sangria and plates of gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns) while enjoying the warm, rustic vibes that transport you straight to Spain.

5. Springleaf Prata Place (Siglap) For a casual and satisfying meal any time of day, the Siglap outlet of this popular chain is a reliable choice. Famous for its innovative prata creations like the “Plaster Blaster” (prata with ham, cheese, and egg covered in hollandaise sauce), they also do the classics perfectly. A crispy, fluffy prata kosong with a side of savoury fish curry is simple comfort food at its best.
