Let's say you have a job in the Financial District. What is supposed to be a glamorous career is actually just a desk job under uninviting fluorescent lamps. But step outside into the warm Singapore air, and just a single glimpse of Boulevard Restrobar might just inspire you to think that life in the city is actually pretty great. This sleek contemporary restaurant and bar is a prime destination for the after-work crowd.
Located next to the Red Dot Museum, Boulevard Restrobar features an al fresco seating that is ideal for people-watching. But whether you sit inside or outside, an easygoing meal at Boulevard Restrobar can easily turn into a big night out.
Boulevard Restrobar's menu is perfect for an outing with friends. The menu features many sharable dishes, like tapas, stone-fired pizzas, and executive platters which each feature a different theme (cheese, grill, etc). The drinks list features an extensive list of beer and cocktails, as well as shooters served in a pair. (Dec 2011)
"This is where you'll find the yuppie set congregating over pre-dinner drinks and tapas. Boulevard has an outdoor island bar, which means the barkeep is always on-hand to top-up your martini or send over another bottle of wine while you chill in the courtyard." -I-S Asia-City
"Whether it's a chill-out evening with a pizza or a full-course dinner, Boulevard offers the bustling citytown area with superlative food, in surroundings of unmatched vibrancy and charm." -Lifestyle Asia
This is a classy joint to chill out with friends, where one can expect excellent food, service and ambience. The crowd is a mix of the museum goers, and people working at the CBD, making it an interesting place to people watch. Not to be missed is the extensive menu which is sure to satisfy any tastebuds. Chope's personal favorite is the Vongole Linguine, with fresh clams and al dente pasta. For the undecided try the many tapas, and do not forget to complete your meal with a glass or two of wine from their excellent selection. (Dec 2011)

"Housed in the former Singapore Traffic Police Headquarters (now the red dot design museum), Boulevard's main attractions are its alfresco seating and island bar, plus the Mediterranean-themed menu that makes comfort food out of dishes like filet mignon and grilled rosemary lamb. It's a popular chillout place for bankers and executives working in the CBD area."
