I know, I know—our reality feels a lot like Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘1 step forward, 3 steps back’ song on repeat, what with constant change in limits for house visits, social gatherings, and perhaps the worst of them all, going to a two pax dining limit.
I know we must hold off on grand plans to catch up over a meal with our friends, but if you’re in charge of planning where to eat on your next date, here are 10 places with sharing menus perfect for two pax.
1. Viio Gastropub
Founded by Chef Ronald Li, Viio Gastropub boasts of an array of Asian-French fusion gourmet fare, though at a fraction of its cost. Guests can expect an intimate dining affair and fresh craft beer, making this the perfect place for a romantic date night out.
Split the Viio Butcher Block (S$68) with your dining partner if you both enjoy a hearty variety of meats and cuisines—this platter includes chicken yakitori, trio sausages, beef quesadilla, and Cajun prawns. This medley will come served alongside butter rice, aglio olio, and nori fries for a decadent two pax meal worth raving about.

2. Tsui Wah
I’m sure we’re all familiar with the popular Hong Kong cha chan teng, Tsui Wah. If you’ve got an afternoon scheduled with your best friend, they are currently offering Tea Sets (S$16.80+) for two pax when you dine in at Jem and Clarke Quay.
There are two options available, including dishes such as deep-fried wanton, King Prawns in mala soup with mixian, Hong Kong-style drinks, and more. It’ll be a while until we get to blow the dust off our passports, but this will be a pretty good contender in the meantime.

4. Carrotsticks & Cravings
It’s always my goal to make my listicles as inclusive as possible—we’ve had options for dinner and afternoon tea thus far, and joining the repertoire is a Breakfast Platter (S$46) from Carrotsticks & Cravings.
Suitable for you and your dining companion, this Breakfast Platter is a colourful, all-encompassing meal featuring Israeli salad, homemade hummus, oven-roasted eggplant, falafel patties, and flaky puff pastries with cream cheese. I don’t know about you, but I’d become a morning person if this was my daily motivation to get out of bed.

All the talk about lobster is making me hungry, and how am I dealing with that? By talking about more lobster, specifically, Burger & Lobster. Their Atlantic lobster is wild-caught and delivered live to their restaurants every day, for that peace of mind, knowing that you’re eating the freshest seafood.
Their Combo for Two (S$120) is definitely going to fill you up for the rest of the day—each combo comes with a 1.5lb lobster that’s either steamed or grilled, along with two mains and two sides, all served alongside their homemade lemon garlic butter.
Make sure you come hungry, because their mains include a Smoked BBQ burger, a Seven Samurai Roll, and more. Finish it all off with a side of salted egg yolk or sweet potato fries, and you can thank me for this recommendation later.
