About East Coast Seafood
East Coast Seafood is a family-style seafood restaurant sitting along East Coast Park, built for group feasts and sunset makan sessions. The vibe is relaxed and loud in the best way: think round tables with lazy susans, outdoor seats catching the sea breeze, and chefs turning out live seafood to order. It’s a go-to for locals celebrating birthdays, families catching weekend dinners, and tourists wanting an iconic Singapore seafood experience.
The menu leans heavily into Singaporean seafood classics — chilli crab slicked in sweet-tangy gravy, bold black pepper crab, chilli and salted-egg prawns, and whole steamed fish finished with ginger and spring onion. Portions are generous, so most groups come prepared to share; expect the occasional bib and a pile of shell on the table. As with many popular Singapore restaurants, weekends and public holidays fill up fast, and there’s a communal, convivial energy similar to a heartland zi char or waterside seafood house.
Practical for both visitors and locals, the restaurant is easy to reach by car or bus from Katong and Bedok and offers outdoor seating that’s best booked for sunset views. Locals treat it as a special-occasion spot — a place for family gatherings, tourist-friendly dinners and weekend celebrations — rather than a quick weekday solo lunch. Pair the food with cold beer or a local kopi-style dessert to finish the meal the Singaporean way.
