BARREL STORY OF HIBIKI, the first Hibiki-led concept restaurant to open outside of Japan, helmed by Chef Sho Naganuma, expands its experience with the opening of THE TERRACE, an outdoor dining space located within the restaurant’s footprint in Singapore’s central business district. THE TERRACE introduces a more casual, open-air setting that complements BARREL’s main dining room, offering guests a place to unwind over drinks and light bites beneath the open sky.
Set amid tropical greenery and natural light, THE TERRACE seats around 50 guests and continues BARREL’s philosophy of thoughtful hospitality. The space invites guests to enjoy refreshing serves and linger as conversations unfold naturally. Surrounded by greenery, the terrace offers a brief pause from the surrounding business district, a quiet pocket where the city feels momentarily distant.
