Why Arbora Stands Out as a Hilltop Dining Destination in Singapore

When it comes to dining above the city, Mount Faber Peak offers an experience that feels distinctly removed from everyday Singapore. Set within lush greenery and open skies, it is a place guests choose when they want to slow down and enjoy a different kind of meal.

Among the dining options at Mount Faber Peak, Arbora @ Mount Faber Peak offers a relaxed, family-friendly setting where comfort food, fresh air, and nature come together naturally. For those seeking a hilltop restaurant that feels welcoming, unhurried, and worth the journey, Arbora offers a dining experience shaped as much by its surroundings as by the food on the table.

1. A Unique Hilltop Garden Dining Experience

Named after the Latin word for “tree,” Arbora is nestled within the lush greenery of Mount Faber Peak. Recently refreshed with a brand-new canopy, the restaurant offers a cool, breezy environment that makes open-air dining comfortable throughout the day. Open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, Arbora is well suited for leisurely lunches, relaxed afternoons, and early dinners surrounded by nature.

Unlike rooftop restaurants in the city, Arbora’s location offers a true hilltop setting with open skies, cooling breezes, and a sense of space that feels deliberately removed from the urban rush below.

Reaching Mount Faber Peak requires a conscious journey by cable car or private hire, and that is precisely what makes dining at Arbora feel different. The separation from the city, combined with fresh air and greenery, creates a dining experience that feels intentional, unhurried, and worth seeking out.

2. A Family-Friendly Restaurant Parents Can Appreciate

One of the defining features of Arbora is its family-friendly design. The spacious layout allows families to dine comfortably without feeling restricted, making it an ideal choice for gatherings across generations. Parents can relax over a meal while children enjoy the open surroundings—a balance that many restaurants find hard to achieve.

Arbora’s welcoming environment makes it a popular option for weekend family outings, birthday celebrations, and casual get-togethers. For families who drive, complimentary valet parking with any spend at the restaurants helps ease the journey to Mount Faber Peak, allowing parents to focus on enjoying quality time together rather than worrying about logistics. It’s a restaurant designed not just for dining, but for spending meaningful moments as a family.

3. Open Spaces for Kids to Run, Explore, and Play

For families with young children, Arbora’s open and playful setting is a key draw. The restaurant offers ample space for kids to move about and explore, reducing the pressure of keeping them seated throughout the meal. This freedom makes dining more enjoyable for everyone at the table.

Combined with surrounding greenery and fresh air, Arbora feels less like a traditional restaurant and more like a garden retreat—ideal for families looking for a relaxed, stress-free hilltop dining experience.

4. Comfort Food That Brings Everyone Together

At the heart of Arbora’s appeal is its menu. The Arbora @ Mount Faber Peak menu focuses on comfort food with thoughtful twists, blending Western classics with Asian flavours. This approach ensures there is something for everyone, from children to adults and seniors.

Signature dishes such as Pasta Hokkien Mee and Cempedak Bread & Butter Pudding offer familiar flavours with a playful edge, while heartier options like the Mount Faber Bamboo Chicken Nasi Lemak and Lobster Laksa cater to those looking for bold, satisfying meals. A dedicated kids’ menu further reinforces Arbora as a place where the entire family can dine happily.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
