What do we love about Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove? It has a fantastic gone-on-holiday vibe – no matter how many times you visit. With the gorgeous water views, clear expanse of sky and those beautiful yachts at the marina, it doesn’t feel as if you’re still in Singapore. All this without actually travelling – or travelling far from home.

It’s also a dining destination that’s been specially curated for different and varied occasions, whether it’s a celebratory lunch with colleagues, a romantic night out with your better half, a festive get-together with your BFFs, or a weekend out with family and kids where all you want to do is chill and relax.

Sail over to Quayside Isle to enjoy the five Christmas menus and treats featured here, or satisfy your craving over a diverse spread of international cuisines, from fine restaurants to casual cafes, with your loved ones. There’s Mediterranean (Big Fat Mama; Miska Cafe), Indian (Earl of Hindh), local hawker fare (Let’s Eat!), Greek (Mykonos on the Bay), Spanish (Sabio by the Sea, Tapas Bar & Grill), Italian (SolePomodoro Trattoria Pizzeria), and casual cafes (Greater Lot by Cedele; Joe & the Juice; Schmear).

FULL WORKS

With its cosy, intimate ambience, Museo (#01-22) is one of the most romantic spots to dine at – the cushioned floor seats let you enjoy an unparalleled view of the yachts at the marina. This year, four- and five-course set menus ($95 and $105 respectively) are available from Dec 18-25. The dishes follow Museo’s concept of novel and varied flavours – served in its signature glass jars, of course. Start with the Avocado and Feta Salad with Avruga caviar and creamy herb dressing, then go for the Soft-shell Chilli Crab served with sweet and savoury tomato-chilli sauce. End with a chocolate ball dessert, which boasts frozen pistachio nougat and butterscotch sauce.

SEAFOOD FEAST

Seafood lovers can rejoice at the sheer variety at Greenwood Fish Market (#01-04/05), which has a super-fresh sea-to-table philosophy. Try the two-tier Cold Platter, with its impressive spread of seafood, enough for two to four diners. It includes steamed Boston lobster, marinated yellow fin tuna, freshly shucked oysters, mussels and clams from New Zealand, tiger prawns, and smoked salmon cured inhouse using applewood logs. If you are hosting a party, you can order whole Scottish-farmed Atlantic salmon, poached or smoked.

ASIAN TWIST

Instead of the usual hams, roasts and traditional Christmas food, why not choose Asian cuisine? Thai restaurant Gin Khao Bistro (#01-12) has a steamboat set for four at $99.80++, and a selection of Christmas ciders with flavours like mango, raspberry, passion fruit and strawberry lime. Alternatively, Blue Lotus Chinese Eating House (#01-13) is serving up a whole slow-roasted Spanish suckling pig at the special price of $198++ (UP $238++). How’s that for a celebratory meal?

FESTIVE FUN

It’s merrymaking at the marina! Quayside Isle offers festive fun this season. Bring home wonderful memories and happy moments atop Santa’s Sleigh. Climb aboard the Christmas Choo Choo train for a ride. Or have the kids bounce to their hearts’ content in Christmasthemed bouncy inflatables. Chill out while enjoying live performances every weekend.
