We're in our soft launch phase — thank you for bearing with us as we settle in.

Tembusu restaurant and gardens

A house of stories,
taking root.

A straits dining house nestled in the heart of Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Where heritage and nature meet,

Tembusu is a celebration of place, culture and the stories that connect us — through time, through taste.

Dining at Tembusu

OUR STORY

A house of stories, rooted in Singapore.

We honour the flavours and traditions of our past, inspired by the garden that surrounds us. Here, good food, warm hospitality and meaningful conversations come together — the way they have always been.

The Tembusu Tree

OUR NAMESAKE

The Tembusu Tree

Majestic and enduring, the Tembusu tree is a symbol of strength, rootedness and continuity — much like the stories that bring us together across generations.

It stands as a quiet guardian of the Gardens, reminding us to grow with grace, and create memories that last.
