Need a getaway but your boss doesn’t approve? Singapore is surrounded by the sea, so there are always places to chill and relax. Why not chillax at Bistro@Changi?
We work long and hard. In fact, Singaporeans and Hong Kongers ranked top two in the world with the longest working hours. However, unlike Hong Kongers, who may need to escape to the tropics to relax, we’re already here.
It’s easy to understand why we don’t fully appreciate the benefits of seaside living. We live in one of the most urbanised countries in the world. However, if we take the time to look beyond the urban cave, we can see sand, beaches, sea, boats, and gulls. It’s all here in our sunny Singapore.
DRESS-DOWN AMBIENCE
When it’s time to relax from the gruelling work week, head to Changi. No, not for the next flight out, but to Bistro@Changi, located in the oldest coastal park in Singapore – Changi Beach Park.
This is an unassuming, laid-back, chill-out joint literally steps from the shore. Like many beachside restaurants in other countries, Bistro@Changi is welcoming, casual, with that “come-as-you-are” easiness. Their ambience reflects that attitude.
SEASIDE PANORAMA
Immerse in the full panorama of Singapore’s Eastern shores and Pulau Ubin. It’s the perfect place to bring some friends, chill, and watch the gulls, boats, and time pass while sipping on 12-to-5pm happy hour offers: Two pints of Heineken for $16 or two pints of Erdinger for $20, every day.
This is true value for money for the hardworking Singaporean.
STARRY NIGHT LIFE
When the sun sets, the stars emerge – literally and figuratively at Bistro@Changi. As the night ushers away the setting sun, and with the awning rolled back, get the chance to dine under a canvas of stars, while the sounds of the lapping surf soothe and relax.
On the weekends, the evenings get livelier as live bands play to the crowd. With the stars above and ‘stars’ on stage, this beachside restaurant helps to unwind from a hectic week.
GOOD FOOD, GOOD PRICES
Though the atmosphere is casual, the folks at Bistro@Changi take their food seriously. Their lamb, steak, and chicken chops on menu are prepared especially on a grill to give it the chargrilled taste and texture.
Their seafood is delivered fresh by boat from the kelongs off the shores of Pulau Ubin. Pair them with their modestly-priced wine selections.
From the 5-inch Personal Pizza ($6.90) to Barramundi in Thai sauce ($18.90), New Zealand Lamb ($19.90) to their signature dish, Flame Grilled Chicken Chop ($15.90), Bistro@Changi offers good value and a well-rounded menu designed to please everyone.
For a getaway experience without going away, head to Bistro@Changi and soak in the seaside, dine beneath the stars, and get a well-deserved break from work. Cheers.
Bistro@Changi is tucked in Changi Beach Park, on Nicoll Drive, behind the jetties North of Changi Village.
