The art of an intimate meal: 6 dining spots for every kind of duo

This captures the essence of Mozza without excess. “It’s designed to feel well-balanced and enjoyable for both parties to share,” Chef Birks notes. The result is a meal that showcases Italian dining at its most confident: generous, unfussy, never rigid, and deeply satisfying. As he aptly sums it up: “The dining experience should feel natural, not forced.”

Few dining rooms in Singapore capture the spectacle of abundance quite like Colony. With its stately interiors and immersive live kitchens, the restaurant elevates the buffet format into a curated journey through local and global flavours. “[It is] a true journey that takes you through the multicultural flavours of Singapore, with culinary discoveries at every turn and attentive service for a convivial and relaxed atmosphere,” says Mr Rudi, manager of Colony.

The restaurant is organised into a series of “live conservatories”, each dedicated to a different culinary tradition. From the Ice Bar to The Wok, Tandoor, and Grill and Rotisserie stations, diners can expect meticulously executed classics, time-honoured Peranakan recipes, and signatures like the Colony laksa and XO minced meat fried rice, alongside freshly shucked seafood and Western roasts, all prepared à la minute. The emphasis is not just on variety, but on authenticity and technique, with each station helmed by chefs specialising in their craft.

To complete the experience, Platinum Card Members will also receive an exclusive six-piece macaron set—an elegant takeaway that extends the pleasure beyond the table.

For diners who appreciate variety without compromising on quality, Colony anchors the Table for Two experience with a sense of occasion and a deep connection to Singapore’s culinary identity.

Known as Singapore’s OG handroll and sake joint, Rappu delivers an immediate, interactive, and unmistakably modern dining experience. Guests sit at a sleek counter, where chefs assemble each handroll à la minute and serve them directly at peak freshness.

“Dining at Rappu is designed to be immersive and intimate,” says group head chef Ong. A curated hip-hop soundtrack amplifies this vibrancy, creating a playful atmosphere. The counter-style seating naturally encourages conversation, while the rhythm of handrolls arriving one by one keeps the experience lively and engaging.

Rappu’s Table for Two menu reflects this energy, unfolding as a dynamic, shareable journey featuring welcome drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), Rappu’s signature six-handroll set, a selection of izakaya-style dishes, and culminating in a standout High Roller handroll with uni, where diners can choose between wagyu or toro, and finally, a dessert designed for sharing.

“It’s about energy, connection, and sharing something exciting together,” Head Chef Ong adds—a philosophy that resonates strongly with Table for Two’s emphasis on experiences for two, especially for duos seeking a dining experience that feels spontaneous and social.

Tucked within the heritage-rich setting of 21 Carpenter, Kee’s offers a quieter, more contemplative take on dining—ideal for lingering conversations and unhurried meals. The space balances history with modern refinement, where polished interiors meet the building’s storied past as a 1930s remittance house.

“Dining at Kee’s is about understated elegance,” says head chef Hamzah. “[Think] thoughtfully composed dishes and warm hospitality.”

Guests can enjoy a mix of refined comfort dishes and elevated familiar flavours, with highlights such as the tuna tartare layered with toasted sesame, truffle spinach rigatoni with a slow-cooked egg, and indulgent mains like the Stanbroke Australian ribeye or Mediterranean seabass. Desserts offer a contemporary twist on nostalgia, from the pandan trifle to the sea salt dark chocolate tart.

“The menu is designed to feel generous and balanced,” head chef Hamzah explains, “encouraging guests to linger and connect.” It is this sense of ease that defines Kee’s, making it a natural setting for friends catching up over a beautiful meal, where the evening unfolds effortlessly and conversation takes centre stage

“Dining at Bae’s is all about energy, flavour, and a playful, high-energy atmosphere,” says group head chef Ong. With its low lighting, upbeat soundtrack, and intimate seating, Bae’s sets the stage for duos looking to ease into the night with great food, crafted cocktails, and a touch of spontaneity.

The experience begins with bold cocktails before moving into a selection of shareable bites that showcase the kitchen’s playful approach to Korean flavours. One key highlight is the crab brioche topped with ikura, a rich, briny bite created exclusively for Table for Two.

“We wanted the menu to feel interactive and social, with dishes designed for sharing so the experience feels engaging from the very first course,” group head chef Ong explains.

The result is a dining experience that feels refreshingly modern: intimate, energetic, and slightly irreverent—where great food, strong drinks, and good company come together in a setting that invites guests to linger well into the evening. For playful dining partners who enjoy a seamless transition from dinner to a lively night out, Bae’s delivers exactly that.

Set within the lush surrounds of Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay, Peppermint offers a buffet experience that feels both abundant and thoughtfully composed. As chef de cuisine Yee describes it, the restaurant invites diners to “step into nature’s embrace, where lush greenery and healthful farm-to-table cuisine await”. The Halal-certified international spread caters to hearty appetites and adventurous palates alike, making it an easy choice for gatherings where variety matters.

Among the highlights are the snow crab legs and Boston lobster (served during dinner only), alongside Peppermint’s signature seafood tower laksa: an indulgent bowl brimming with crab, half-shell scallops, fish, and prawns. Crowd favourites such as the Josper-grilled meats and fresh sashimi round out the experience.

 “Peppermint delivers exactly what Platinum Card Members value: variety and flexibility,” says chef Yee. Whether for a relaxed lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a lively catch-up with friends and family, the restaurant’s expansive Halal-certified spread offers something for every diner seeking variety and inclusivity.

Together, these six destinations reflect the spirit of Table for Two by Platinum: an ever-growing curated collection of dining experiences designed to suit every kind of duo.
