Say goodbye to sad, stale popcorn, generic fountain drinks, and sticky floors with Singapore’s epic new cinema concept. Shaw Theatres Lido, the iconic Orchard Road cinema, has just completely transformed its Level 5 and 6 into Centro. The massive, multi-concept dining and lifestyle hub is the perfect place for a weekend date night or group outing with friends. Spearheaded with guidance from the veteran restaurateurs behind Wild Honey, this isn’t just a place to wait for your movie to start: it’s a destination in its own right that aims to reignite the glamour and magic of going to the movies. Here’s what to expect at Centro Shaw Lido.
What to expect at Centro
The new cinema dining experience transforms the space with five different concepts under one roof. Whether you want a dinner to enjoy during a film or a vibrant spot to linger for a drink after…Centro is redefining our cinema experience with four Australian dining ventures in one setting. Here’s exactly what you can expect:
- The Restaurant: A bright, modern all-day dining space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Orchard Road. It serves elevated Australian-inspired meals like Fish & Chips and Steak Frites, and opens from 12pm to midnight.
- Espresso & Matcha Bar: It serves Australian’s finest coffee by Toby’s Estate, a range of specialty drinks like Salted Caramel Popcorn Latte, and ceremonial grade matcha from 9.30am daily.
- The Cocktail Bar: A moody, elegant space opened from 9.30am and perfect for a post-movie debrief. They serve up cinematic-themed cocktails like the Dirty Harry Martini alongside elevated bar bites.
- Grab & Go: Grab delicious restaurant quality food from 9.30am daily at this stand. Highlights include 3-minute stone-baked pizzas and gourmet sandwiches that you can bring into the cinema hall.
Wonderfully, the entire Centro experience is surprisingly affordable with nothing on the food menu crossing the $30 mark. Plus, the In-Theatre Dining is exclusively available at the premium halls in Lido and Gem where you can sink into plush leather chairs and have a butler deliver food from a curated menu.
Whether you want to slide into the gorgeous restaurant with stunning Orchard views or quickly grab a pizza in three minutes at the Grab & Go counter…moviegoers will be in their element. Plus, these dining concepts cater to children, gluten-free, and other dietary requirements.
