Yet again, Siglap’s restaurant scene shines because we now have an additional country complement with Blu Kouzina adding Greek Food to our dining experiences on the doorstep. And this is a cracker. It is the ‘sister’ restaurant, Blu Kouzina Dempsey, the original location up amongst some incredible restaurants pers up at Dempsey Hill, such as Burnt Ends Dempsey, Red Sparrow, Siri House and the like. But this ain’t no Dempsey Hill, this is Blu Kouzina at Siglap.
It now joins the Siglap East Coast family of incredible restaurants that we have on offer that are all within walking distance of the Siglap Centre. I think Siglap is more than competing with its neighbours that have their own offerings of Katong Restaurants and of course Joo Chiat restaurants. I think Siglap now has many of the best restaurants on the East Coast, and Blu Kouzina is one of those for sure.
What we’ll be doing in this blog is creating the mother of all Blu Kouzina Siglap Review.

Before…
After…
But first, what a complete change from what it was originally in the form of Blooies Siglap. Remember that was there before, dark and gloomy and all enclosed. Well hello to Blu Kouzina Siglap and its shuttered windows that open the whole place up and make it akin to patio Al Fresco dining that I have done in Greece. They have made a sterling job to make this more like Blu Kouzina Dempsey being so light and airy.
The Greek food is just fantastic, and every single thing is so fresh and you can immediately taste that in the food, and see it in the plating. Also being surrounded by fresh herbs, fruit and greenery add to that fresh ambiance. This is clearly bred from the success of their first restaurant Blu Kouzina Dempsey.
Let's hear from Blu Kouzina (I love this...)
"Blu Kouzina is bringing its signature, wholesome Greek cooking to Siglap. This acclaimed restaurant is born out of the founder's passion for the food of their native Greece and their love of sharing a hearty, family meal with friends. Fresh and quality ingredients, mostly grown organically and sourced from well established, local producers are used in dishes that are both traditional and creatively contemporary. What remains uniquely Greek and genuine are the flavours and the scents of extra virgin olive oil, fresh fish or succulent lamb that will take you on a journey from a beach-side taverna to a rural mezze shop, where platters are shared among family and friends, sometimes amid heated arguments.
Mediterranean Al Fresco dining in Siglap, well it sure does feel like it...

Blu Kouzina at Siglap states; “The closest you’ll get to Greece without a passport…”
In these Covid-19 times, I’ll take that virtual transport to sunny Mediterranean climbs any day of the week thanks. And believe me, you sit in the restaurant and feel like you have left Red Dot to the Greek Islands. Quite amazing, and we hope to get that sense from our Blu Kouzina review.
Blu Kouzina Singapore really is delivering the best Greek food Singapore. You need to get yourself to either Blu Kouzina Siglap or Blu Kouzina Dempsey and ENJOY!!! We never want to leave the place, we sort of become a fixture.

They sure do and we have used this service a good few times ourselves already. It’s one of the usual suspects, just get yourself on to;

I really do suggest that you do this because this place gets mobbed. We have tried a few last minute walk-ins and got bounced due to it being booked solid, over two sittings.
So contact them;

Our conclusions about Blu Kouzina Siglap
Seriously fresh and superb dishes were served to us this night ad for the following lunch. We’ll 100% be back, again and again for sure, and our next sampling will absolutely be the Blu Kouzina at Siglap Breakfast because that looks off-the-charts good in 2022
The light and airy design make you feel like you are sitting on a Mediterranean patio with the sun shining, beers flowing and incredible Greek food being consumed. It really is designed for family platter sharing sessions!, and I cannot wait for 5 PAX to be increased to 8 PAX to dine with friends too!!
East Coasters get yourself down here because it is just off-the-charts good. Non-East Coasters get yourself a Grab, no excuses!!!
If you are a fan of Mediterranean food here are some other restaurant reviews from ISLIFEARECIPE we're sure you'll enjoy as well
- Asador @ Joo Chiat Place – get your Basque BBQ head-on and bring empty stomachs
- Lolla at Ann Siang Road – a crazy hybrid going on here with a Filipino Ched executing incredible fusion Mediterranean dishes
- Fotia Greek Restaurant at Duxton Hill– another cracking taste of the Med
- Cugini Italian Restaurant at Joo Chiat Place – an authentic Italian and pizza Trattoria serving up some absolute stunners and again, it’s Al Fresco dining
- Mykonos on the Bay @ Sentosa – one of the most $ meals I have had on Red Dot, likely due to the view of the millionaire’s yachts, but cracking food, served Al Fresco
