Aura, the first new restaurant partner in the revamped Singapore National Gallery, is now open.
The restaurant, created by ilLido Group, spans two floors, taking up 840 sqm att the gallery, which formally reopens on November 24.
Aura is comprised of four unique dining concepts, each an independent experience while complementing one another seamlessly. Owned by Italian restauranteur and well-known food personality Beppe De Vito, Aura believes it will become the forefront of Italian dining in Singapore.
Aura Restaurant is located on the fifth floor of the gallery, serving classic Italian cuisine from all regions of Italy, in a relaxed atmosphere. Located at the rooftop of the Gallery is the luxurious Aura Sky Lounge, a chic all-day dining destination. With an indoor lounge and outdoor terrace, Aura Sky Lounge transits from Raw Bar during lunch to Tea Lounge in the mid-afternoon, before converting into the rooftop Lounge Bar in the evenings
“Everything that we’re doing with Aura is different. It’s nothing that we have seen or done in Singapore to date. I am a restaurateur whose goal is to always bring diners high quality dining experiences with high value for money.”
The Straits Times food reviewer was impressed by Aura’s “lovely ambience, good service, excellent cooking and reasonable prices”. “it’s a work of art – one that certainly deserves a place in what promises to be the most impressive art museum in this part of the world,” the review, which can be read here in full, concluded.
