TUGA, which has been in the heart of Singapore since 2020, is more than simply a Portuguese restaurant; it's a celebration, an immersion into the colourful soul of Portugal itself. TUGA welcomes you on a journey of discovery, a journey through the rich tapestry of Portuguese food, wine, music, and art, from the moment you walk through its doors.
Authenticity is more than a culinary aim at TUGA; it is a commitment. The culinary staff, lead by the brilliant Portuguese Executive Chef Lus Barradas, creates delicacies that take you straight to the streets of Portugal. The secret is in the thorough selection of the finest ingredients, procured from reliable vendors in both Singapore and Portugal. Each taste captures the essence of the most famous, iconic, and traditional Portuguese cuisine, creating a meaningful link to the country's culinary heritage.
"We have a strong and rooted knowledge of Portuguese gastronomy," Chef Lus Barradas explains, emphasising the restaurant's everlasting commitment to quality and authenticity.
TUGA, on the other hand, is a wine enthusiast's dream. With over 600 labels, the wine range spans the breadth of Portugal's wine regions. The environment around you simulates the intimate setting of a Portuguese wine cellar as you sip on your selected vintage, delivering an immersive experience that goes beyond the palate.
It's no surprise that TUGA has won several significant awards in just three years. The honours include the "WGA New Restaurant of the Year 2020," the Epicurean Star Award for "Best Western Restaurant (Casual Dining) 2021," and the honourable "1st Runner Up for Best Mediterranean Restaurant 2021." The "WGA Platinum Award for Asian Wine Network Old World Wine List of the Year 2022" was the pinnacle of acknowledgement.
According to Co-Founder Carlos Couto, TUGA is more than a restaurant—it's a place where guests can fall in love with Portugal without leaving Singapore. "We've created a very engaging space where guests can fall in love with Portugal and a place where they can come back to immerse themselves into Portuguese culture even if they don't travel to Portugal," he continues.
To enhance the Portuguese experience, TUGA provides a retail section with a chosen selection of Portuguese items and merchandise. It's an ideal continuation of the entire adventure, allowing you to take a bit of Portugal home with you.
They don't only offer meals at TUGA; they create an atmosphere, an experience that reflects the warmth and generosity of Portugal. Visitors are more than simply guests; they are welcomed into a home, Portugal. It's the pinnacle of luxury, a gourmet retreat that delivers the wonders of Portugal right to your door in Singapore.
Come taste the flavours and let TUGA be your portal to Portugal.
