Jingle by the beach at 1-Twentysix

Tucked quietly at a cosy part of East Coast Beach, 1 Twentysix brings outdoor European dining a whole new meaning with its beachfront restaurant and bar. Opened in February 2008 by the One Rochester Group, 1 Twentysix offers a more romantic dining or drinking experience with its panoramic sea-front view. Without a doubt, this place is definitely one of OpenRice's recommended dining places for a memorable birthday celebration, a good gathering spot for catching up with friends and even better, a hearty Christmas dinner for all. See? Even the interiors are furnished with cozy bamboo couches and illuminated with a soft amber lighting. If you are looking at a casual getaway evening with some nibbles or cocktails, this place is good for rejuvenating your soul as the night slips away! Otherwise, turn this warm place into a gift-exchanging session during your Christmas dinner with family and friends.

Or why not come during the day after your jog at the East Coast Park? You will be sure to have a new wholesome experience. Guests with pets are welcomed. Another reason to come with all your furry friends!

Looking for a drink? Excite your taste buds with the 7 Desirable Sins, a range of cocktails created by their in house mixologist Kiki & Ivan Fernandez. Jingle the night while sipping your preferred sins~ For me, I choose Alexander's Well, the sin of Greed.

Let's indulge in the sea of menus and decide what you should indulge for your Christmas dinner! Twentysix offers a whole new outdoor dining concept that makes dining and wining a lot more enjoyment by the beach. “Around the table we gather” – the COAST menu that serves communal dining will do the trick. Ranging from a wide selection of platters to ala-carte, you sure can look forward to a fulfilling meal when the night sets in. OpenRice was at 1-Twentysix! Let the video does the talking.

Our favourites are namely The Coast Platter (Prawns, crabs, oysters, mussels, clams, sashimi), Seared King scallops with smoked sea urchin risotto, Grilled King Prawns with clam broth and coppa cracklings and Roast Baby Chicken. For the desserts, we love Valrhona dark and white chocolate fondant with coconut and peanut praline ice cream, and Grande Assiette - A selection of 5 petits sized desserts to share. These heavenly desserts are a must-try to end your meal with some sweetness on your lips.
