Cloudstreet is an intimate, tasting-menu-only restaurant on Amoy Street led by Sri Lankan-born chef-owner Rishi Naleendra, pairing expressive cooking with a deep, progressive wine list. It holds two MICHELIN stars.
Signature dishes
- A Sri Lankan curry of blue marron in coconut broth — a defining reference for the kitchen.
- Murray cod with fermented bell pepper and almonds.
- Grilled oyster with betel leaf, coconut and finger lime.
- Aged duck with beetroot and cashew-nut butter.
- Tochigi A4 wagyu with braised eggplant, fermented soy and beef tendon.
The menu is seasonal, so any given dish may not be on when you visit; desserts such as the bread-and-butter pudding with Vegemite and caramel also rotate.
The concept
Naleendra describes the aim as thoughtful, expressive food served with the warmth of a friend's home, built around a central chef's counter and a seasonal menu. The cooking is personal — Sri Lankan flavours filtered through an Australian sensibility and modern technique — and MICHELIN files it as innovative.
The chef
Rishi Naleendra was born in Colombo and built his career in Australia, cooking at Melbourne's Taxi Dining Room and Sydney's Tetsuya's before moving to Singapore in 2014. He became the first Sri Lankan chef to win a MICHELIN star, at Cheek by Jowl in 2017. His wife, Manuela Toniolo, runs the front of house.
Getting there
Cloudstreet is in a conserved shophouse at 84 Amoy Street, on the Telok Ayer and Tanjong Pagar fringe of the CBD near Chinatown and a short distance from Raffles Place. Telok Ayer MRT on the Downtown Line is about a four-minute walk; Tanjong Pagar on the East-West line is an alternative.
Prices
Tasting menus only, and you should allow at least three hours. Dinner, Tuesday to Saturday, is an eight-course at S$398++. Lunch on Friday and Saturday offers a six-course at S$248++ or the eight-course at S$398++. Pairings run S$268++ standard, S$568++ prestige and S$168++ non-alcoholic; "++" is before service charge and GST.
How to book
Reserve online, via the MICHELIN link, by email at [email protected] or on +65 6513 7868. Bookings open in monthly windows, so book early for Friday and Saturday.
Opening hours
Dinner from 6.30pm Tuesday to Saturday; lunch from midday on Friday and Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday; confirm holiday closures when you book.
The room & dress
Intimate and sophisticated but easy to talk across, with the chef's counter the most immersive seat and a wine list of more than 350 labels. No official dress code — smart casual or elegant works.
A little history
Cloudstreet opened in 2019, took its first star in 2021 and a second in 2022, which it has retained through 2026. The name comes from a Tim Winton novel.
Who it’s for
For serious food travellers, special-occasion couples and fans of chef-driven tasting menus with serious wine. Its draw is a rare Sri Lankan-Australian two-star perspective in a central, MRT-easy spot. Not the pick for a quick, cheap, casual or traditional-local meal.
