Singapore’s F&B scene just got a vibrant new addition with the opening of Carnaby, a stylish British diner and music bar. Launched this July at the former Three Buns location in Robertson Quay, Carnaby is the brainchild of The Goodburger team, featuring culinary direction from the renowned Chef Adam Penney.
It’s a space where elevated British cuisine meets a lively atmosphere inspired by the iconic Carnaby Street of London — a place that once echoed with the sounds of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Carnaby’s Concept: Perfect Blend of British Charm & Modern Flair
Carnaby’s concept is a celebration of British culture, combining edgy design with elegant touches that create a relaxed yet vibrant dining experience. Nestled in the bustling Robertson Quay neighbourhood, the diner retains the industrial aesthetic of its predecessor while infusing it with a distinctly British charm. With seating for up to 85 guests, including outdoor options, Carnaby invites you to soak in the vibes of a casual British diner, complete with themed wall decor that pays homage to the swinging 60s.
Elevated British Classics
At the heart of Carnaby’s culinary offerings is Chef Adam Penney, formerly of Potato Head, who brings his signature flair to the table. Penney’s menu at Carnaby is a testament to his passion for elevating traditional British dishes using the finest local and imported ingredients. From the custom-blended beef patty in the Carnaby Burger to the smoky richness of the Steak & Guinness Pie, every dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Through his creations, Penny aims to challenge the outdated notion that British cuisine is bland by showcasing the versatility and flavour of British fare.
Comfort Food with a Gourmet Twist
Carnaby’s menu is a love letter to British comfort food, with a modern twist that’s sure to delight both locals and expatriates. Signature dishes include the Carnaby Burger, featuring an award-winning Wookey Hole cave-aged cheddar, and the Golden Beer Battered Fish & Chips, made with farm-fresh Golden Snapper and a crispy IPA-infused batter.
For vegetarians, reach out for their Impossible Carnaby Burger and Summer Garden Risotto that offers a hearty and flavourful alternative that don’t compromise on taste.
Dessert lovers will find their sweet spot with options like the ‘Allo Treacle’ Tart, a sophisticated take on a classic pantry staple, and the Sticky Toffee Date Pudding, a British winter favourite served with house-made vanilla ice cream. Carnaby’s beverage menu also offers a curated selection of craft cocktails and specialty beers, including brews from Scottish cult favourite Brewdog.
A New Go-To for British Comfort Food and More
Carnaby is more than just a place to dine in — it’s a destination for those looking to immerse themselves in British culture, from the food and drinks to the music and atmosphere. With plans to introduce a Breakfast by Carnaby menu and a traditional Carnaby Sunday Roast in the coming months, this diner and music bar is set to become a regular haunt for anyone craving a taste of Britain in Singapore.
Alcoholic Drinks at Canarby
Drink enthusiasts can anticipate a curated lineup of handcrafted cocktails that offer fresh takes on English classics. Highlights include The Bridgerton ($24), a contemporary spin on the English Garden; and the Twiggy ($24), inspired by the iconic 60s supermodel.
Craft beer lovers can enjoy pints of specialty brews from Scottish cult favourite Brewdog. Chug a half pint of Brewdog Wingman Session IPA for $10 or relish in a 440ml can of Brewdog Black Heart Stout Nitro at $14.
Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal, a refreshing pint, or simply a place to unwind with good music, Carnaby promises to deliver an experience that’s both comforting and exciting. Visit them and reserve a spot here and discover why this new British diner and music bar is the talk of the town!
