Almost 105 restuarants will be participating.

According to a release, Singapore Restaurant Week is back from 18 to 24 March 2013 with a bonanza of close to 105 premium participating restaurants.

Organised by DiningCity.sg and presented by American Express, this bi-annual affair has attracted a strong following among Singapore’s gourmands since its debut here in 2010.

For this sixth edition of Singapore Restaurant Week, the organisers will unveil a new and exciting element – ‘The Grand Tour of Taste’. Each restaurant will craft a unique ‘grand tasting platter’ for one of the courses within its three-course set menu offering, where diners will be able to relish tasting portions of signature dishes that the establishment is renowned for.

Miss Desi Wentink, Managing Director of DiningCity Singapore, proudly shares: “We want to serve only the best for our Restaurant Week patrons, which is why we have worked closely with restaurants to bring forth ‘The Grand Tour of Taste’ for this latest edition. Restaurants will showcase their trademark items through these tantalising grand tasting platters, so that every single guest will have the opportunity to fully enjoy each restaurant’s culinary marvels. At the recent Singapore Restaurant Week October 2012, we have garnered an astounding number of 37,000 reservations, and we are all fired up to surpass this feat with even more seats for dining enthusiasts.”

The ever-expanding list of participating restaurants now stands at close to 105, with notable new additions such as the widely acclaimed modern French restaurant Gunther's, contemporary Spanish concept Fandango Tapas & Wine Bar, new local eatery Violet Oon’s Kitchen, Parsley & Thyme, and Etna at Duxton.

It was a resounding success and it allowed more people to get to know us as well as have a taste of the great food and service that we have. The participation also generated great awareness for the brand and our food.”
