If I had to name one dining experience that completely stole my heart — visually and gastronomically — it would be Lavo Singapore. Located high above the city, this place offers much more than just food; it’s a perfect blend of luxury dining and breathtaking views that make you feel like you’re on top of the world.
During my recent trip to Singapore, I ended up visiting Lavo twice in a row — and I’d go again without even thinking twice! That’s how spellbinding the entire experience was.
Daytime Charm: Coffee, Snacks & Skyline Serenity
My first visit was during the daytime, and the view was nothing short of spectacular. I’m someone who truly values a quiet moment with a good coffee and a scenic backdrop — and Lavo delivered. The cityscape was crystal clear, bathed in sunlight, and the panoramic windows gave me the perfect spot to just sit back, enjoy my snacks, and take in the serene skyline of Singapore.
The ambiance was calm and minimal during the day — ideal for content creators or solo travelers like me who enjoy peaceful moments with a great view.
Nighttime Sparkle: Pizza & Glittering City Lights
But it was my second visit at night that truly sealed the deal for me. The entire city below was lit up in a thousand sparkling lights — a completely different vibe from the daytime. The atmosphere was energetic yet elegant, with classy music and the perfect nightlife buzz.
I made a reservation in advance again, knowing how quickly this place gets booked in the evenings. This time, I went all in with their signature rectangular pizza, loaded with rich, melting cheese and delicious toppings. And yes — I ate the entire pizza by myself. No regrets.
Things You Must Know Before You Go
If you’re adding Lavo Singapore to your must-visit list (which you absolutely should), keep these tips in mind:

As someone who’s been to several countries and experienced a variety of rooftop restaurants, Lavo Singapore stands out. It’s not just about food or views — it’s about how it makes you feel. From the calm of the day to the glitter of the night, the experience is unforgettable.
My tip? Visit once during the day and again at night. The change in atmosphere gives you two entirely different experiences in the same location — both equally magical.
Whether you’re looking to unwind, click dreamy pictures, or just enjoy your meal with the world at your feet, Lavo is your go-to sky-high escape.
