Thank you to for ’s inclusion in this year’s guide. As just a 5-month old restaurant, we are incredibly humbled and honoured to be featured in this year’s selection.

We are excited to continue to provide exceptional cuisine, while showcasing our young and Singaporean-born team’s culinary philosophies and ingenuity.

Thank you to everyone who has supported thus far, from our purveyors to our guests and friends. We could not have achieved this without your continuous and unwavering support.

Alaskan Black Cod | Sauerkraut

One of our signatures at Início is a miso-roasted Alaskan black cod served with a broth of “Choucroute”. Inspired by a traditional Alsatian dish of Choucroute, we made a broth infused with flavours of sauerkraut and smoky bacon.

Our “surf & turf” take on this dish elevates the classical dish with the inclusion of an umami-laden shiro miso marinated black cod, roasted and caramelised to perfection while maintaining a moist interior.

Our Signature Nori Focaccia.

Kickstart your meal at Início with our freshly-baked Focaccia roll infused with Japanese Seaweed.

In a 2-day process, we begin making our focaccia with a b**a. It is a pre-fermented bread starter that adds complexity to our bread, we also use it to achieve a lighter texture in our bread roll. We utilise two types of Japanese seaweeds in our dough to ensure that our focaccia is umami-packed full of flavour.

We serve ours with an unsalted Bordier Butter. Come down and join us for a meal, to enjoy our signature creation today!

Moving into the new year, we look forward to exciting times ahead of us. Here’s to creating more delectable dining experiences and memorable moments with us!

Best wishes for a prosperous New Year filled with happiness, love, gratitude and good food, from all of us at Início.

Norwegian King Salmon “Croustillant” | Vermouth

A favourite in our set lunch menu for the past two weeks. Fresh Norwegian King salmon wrapped in Feuille de Brick and deep fried. Served rare, it is refreshed with citrus and espelette, and served with a vermouth emulsion finished with freshly chopped dill.

As our set lunch menu is changed regularly to keep things refreshing for our guests, we are excited to announce that we would be launching a brand new set lunch menu starting next week!

Do join us and make your reservations now to enjoy our team’s creations. Reservations can be made via Chope or through the link in our bio. We look forward to having you at our restaurant.
