Level33 takes cues from classic Irish flavours for their St. Patrick’s Day dishes. The stout & whisky braised beef pie (S$45++) is a riff on the shepherd’s pie, accompanied by smoked truffle mash and minted butter peas, while Irish oysters (S$36++ for six) are accented by citrus and stout jelly. Both dishes come with a complimentary stout. Finish off with Irish whiskey & organic honey ice cream (S$10++ per scoop) glazed with stout caramel.

Black Tap makes it March special dish St. Patrick’s Day-appropriate with the reuben burger (S$29++). A nod to Irish American cuisine, the burger features a prime beef and corned beef blended patty, Guinness-braised cabbage and onions, diced pickles, Swiss cheese, and Jameson mustard sauce between potato buns. Pair the meal with a pint of Paddy’s Pride, a dry Irish pale ale in a spring green hue.
