ORTO is a restaurant at 27 W Coast Hwy in Queenstown, Singapore, rated 4.2 out of 5 from 5,738 Google reviews. Its website describes a recreational hub of more than 7,000 square metres, opposite Haw Par Villa, where visitors can dine, catch their own seafood and watch live bands.
A good seafood restaurant in Singapore usually earns its name on freshness and how quickly the kitchen turns over its stock, so it is worth asking what came in that day and how it is cooked, whether steamed with ginger and soy, grilled or fried with chilli. Many of these places are casual, with large shared tables, so booking ahead for a weekend evening or a public holiday is wise. Regulars tend to order a few dishes to share and save room for dessert. Judging a venue like this on food alone can miss the point, since the setting and the mix of dining, live music and family outings often bring people back.
For a relaxed evening on the western coast, ORTO's position near Haw Par Villa makes it an easy stop for a meal with family or friends.
