Named by mobile app Booky as one of BGC’s romantic restaurants for celebrating monthsaries, Fukudaya’s dimmed and minimalist interior certainly suggests coziness with a stylish atmosphere. With its cushioned off-white seats that go well with its dark walls and flooring, this restaurant could really be perfect for your next romantic dinner date.

Fukudaya has three guest chefs from one of Japan’s largest and most popular food caterers and 80% of their ingredients are sourced locally to ensure the freshness of the food they serve. 50% of their cooking equipment are imported from Japan, hence the curation of sumptuous modern Japanese epicurean enjoyment. You’ll surely be delighted to know that Fukudaya has also recently added new and exciting items on their menu. Here are some of their own dishes for you to try!
