Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Hopscotch at Gardens by the Bay consistently receives high marks for its service and ambiance, especially for those dining outdoors with views of MBS.

We see frequent mentions of attentive staff, with specific shout-outs to servers like John and Jane, who are noted for their helpfulness and personalized recommendations, particularly for cocktails.

Food portions are generally described as generous and flavourful, though some note it's good rather than extraordinary.

Standout dishes include the lobster bisque, which some consider among the best they've tasted, and the duck confit.

The Christmas set, priced at $100 for three mains, also appears to be good value.

Creative cocktail presentations are a highlight, making for an 'Instagram-worthy' experience.

While busy periods, especially Saturdays, can lead to waits for seating and food, the staff are praised for managing expectations and maintaining a friendly demeanour.

They also seem adept at handling special requests like birthday surprises, offering thoughtful touches like complimentary shots or non-alcoholic alternatives.

We think this makes Hopscotch a strong contender for a casual group outing or a special occasion.

Best for groups of 4-6, especially if you appreciate good service and a scenic backdrop.
