It’s hard to imagine that Raffles City will turn 40 next year! I still remember the excitement when it first opened in 1986, housing what was then the world’s tallest hotel. For many of us, one enduring memory is the food court on the third floor. It’s a reliable spot for a wallet-friendly meal in the heart of town.

In 2022, it was rebranded as The Food Place under Food Junction. More recently, it underwent yet another renovation. Now managed by Food Republic, the food court has been relaunched as The Food Place by Food Republic. This subtle rebranding signals something a little more special. It is a curated mix of Michelin-affiliated brands and exciting new players, bringing more upmarket concepts to the masses.

The newly revamped food court boasts a spacious 600-seat layout and a diverse line-up of 20 stalls. Diners can look forward to a vibrant mix of familiar favourites and exciting new names. These include several brands making their debut in Singapore. We highlight some of the exciting new stalls that are well worth some of your calories!
