Looking for a sweet treat? Our cafes at Level 1 and Basement 2 offer buttery and sweet pastries to satisfy that sweet craving. Aside from the classic options, such as a croissant or a pain au chocolat, pastries with a local twist, such as a bakwa croissant (bakwa is a barbecued savoury and sweet slice of meat that is similar to jerky) or a kaya danish (kaya is a sweet, creamy spread made with coconut cream, eggs, sugar and pandan leaves).
Eating is an unofficial Singaporean hobby and obsession, with a unique culinary landscape that is influenced by diverse cultures and ethnicities. If you’re looking for a savoury bite, the Art Restaurant at Basement 2 offers a selection of local Singaporean dishes, such as laksa and chicken rice, as well as a selection of premium Chinese roasts or vegetarian kueh pie tee that can be shared amongst your fellow ART SG goers. There are plenty of options available to fill your stomach with before you continue to make your way through the fair.
Combine art and champagne at the Ruinart Art Lounge on Basement 2, where you can order a glass or a bottle of Ruinart’s Blanc de Blancs champagne while taking in the visionary work of multi-disciplinary artist, Sam Falls. Falls’ creations, made from organic materials, depict botanical portraits of the places in which he immerses himself, and express a symbiotic relationship with the flora and fauna that inspire him. Alongside Maison Ruinart, his art invites us to engage in a dialogue aimed at restoring harmony with the natural world.
Whether you are a whisky aficionado or a leisurely drinker, you will be thrilled to know that The Glendronach, a revered cornerstone amongst Scotland’s single malt distilleries for almost 200 years, will be serving up samples from their core range of sherry cask whisky at their dedicated space on B2.
Martell will also be offering samples from their range of cognac from their dedicated space on B2. Each year, Maison Martell releases an exclusive edition of its most exceptional cognac inspired by that year’s zodiac animal. L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition – Assemblage du Cheval is available in a strictly limited edition of 500, each bottle individually numbered. In Singapore, it will be unveiled for the first time at ART SG.
Find yourself early to the fair and waiting on your companions? The Art Bar at Level 1 is the perfect meetup point, with views overlooking our Performance space. It’s an ideal gathering spot to plan your route through the fair over a beverage, or to take a midday pitstop to chew over the art that you have seen so far – and perhaps pick a few favourites. Beverage options include Ruinart’s Blanc de Blancs, Minuty rosé and white wine, plus Martell cognac and the Glendronach whisky, as well as a selection of non-alcoholic beverages.
