Sugarra is a restaurant at L1, Hotel Michael, 8 Sentosa Gateway Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore. In the heart of Singapore, Sugarra draws informed diners with its reverence for tradition and a contemporary polish. The kitchen shapes Spanish produce over heat and smoke into dishes that feel time-honored and current. The Story & Heritage Sugarra draws on the Basque Country’s grill culture, with a philosophy of technique in service of product and flame as seasoning.
The restaurant’s evolution nods to classic pintxos bars and grand asadors, yet feels distinctly modern Singapore. Acclaim has followed for its poised execution and Spanish perspective. The Cuisine & Menu Sugarra’s menus, three thoughtful progressions, center on Basque classics refined with contemporary clarity. The opening salvo is a parade of tapas: gildas pricked with anchovy and guindilla, Txangurro “al horno” reimagined as a delicate shell of spider crab richness, and croquetas with molten jamón at their core.
Signatures include kokotxas pil-pil with emulsified garlic and olive oil sheen; turbot on the bone kissed by embers; and Basque Txuleta, deeply marbled and charred to a lacquered crust. Expect tasting menu and prix fixe formats, with seasonal à la carte flourishes. Sourcing skews Spanish, Cantabrian anchovies, Idiazabal, Piquillo peppers, alongside sustainable regional catches. Vegetarian paths are available on request; the kitchen is accommodating without compromise.
This is focused, ingredient-led dining. Experience & Atmosphere A restrained, elemental aesthetic sets the tone, with dark woods, tactile stone, and the glow of the open hearth. The room is intimate yet airy, with a convivial bar for aperitifs and low-proof, vermouth-leaning cocktails. Service is warm, informed, and quietly choreographed; the team narrates Basque heritage without theatrics.
The wine list includes Txakoli, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and grower Champagne. A chef’s counter seats a handful for close-up views of the flame; private dining can be arranged for discreet gatherings. Smart elegant dress is recommended.
