 AN AUTHENTIC BELIGIAN EXPERIENCE IN THE HEART OF CHINATOWN
After you’ve sampled all the local delicacies in Singapore, it’s sometimes nice to try something a little different. Which is where Oosters Belgian Brasserie comes in.
Offering an authentic Belgian experience, Oosters has over 23 different Belgian beers available (many of them exclusively in Singapore) along with it mouth-watering menu of Belgian cuisine.
The name, Oosters, is Belgian for “Oriental”, and sitting in one of the old shophouses that lines Pekin Street in Chinatown, this restaurant and bar mixes its European flavour nicely with the Singaporean surrounds.
The food is authentic Belgian cuisine with favourites such as mussels cooked in five different sauces. We recommend the Mussels and Chips served up with Mayonnaise ($17 per 1/2-kilo serving) or the Braised Lamb Shank ($19).
Oosters also serves up a range of 23 different Belgian beers (of varying strengths) to wash all the good food down – many of which are not available anywhere else in Singapore.
Duvel, Kwak, Chimay and many others are available, all served up in each beer’s own unique glass. You’re also assured of the perfect pour on your beer as Oosters is proud to have the Singapore Draftmasters Champion tending bar.
