Raffles Courtyard August 2026: Pick the Right Visit

Choose Tuesday evening for the published 5pm–9pm Grill Night, Wednesday for S$12++ selected wines by the glass or the stated complimentary-bottle mechanic, and another day for the regular Southeast Asian menu or the Botanist collaboration. The Botanist programme is published through 31 August 2026. Raffles Courtyard itself is open daily, but a programme end date does not guarantee every item or table, so confirm the current menu before travelling. Raffles Courtyard official dining page.

What the official record establishes

Start with the date-bounded programme

Raffles publishes the Courtyard collaboration and happenings from 1 June to 31 August 2026. The limited programme includes four Botanist gin cocktails, while the Tuesday and Wednesday offers have their own timing and terms. Raffles Courtyard official happenings page.

Treat 31 August as the published end of the programme, not a stock guarantee. Ask whether the specific item and table type remain available on the intended date.

Choose Tuesday and Wednesday for different reasons

Grill Night is published for Tuesdays from 5pm to 9pm, with seafood and barbecue items such as tiger prawns, oysters, otak-otak and satay. Wine Wednesday runs all day with selected wines at S$12++ per glass and a complimentary-bottle mechanic for bottle orders. Raffles Courtyard official happenings page.

Do not combine those statements into an assumed package. Ask which menu, label, bottle size, exclusions and service-charge or tax treatment apply before ordering.

Use the daily venue details as the control layer

The official dining page lists Raffles Courtyard as open daily from noon to 10.30pm, with lunch from noon to 2pm, dinner from 6pm to 9pm and happy hours from 3pm to 10pm. Pets are stated as welcome daily at the Courtyard. Raffles Courtyard official dining page.

A venue opening time does not establish kitchen last orders, programme availability or a pet-friendly table for every seating. Confirm the operating detail that matters to the group.

Compare the regular offers separately

Raffles lists a S$30++ set lunch with a main and a drink or homemade ice cream, a S$10++ wine or beer add-on, and happy-hour drinks from S$14++. These are different offer structures, not parts of the Tuesday or Wednesday programme unless the venue confirms otherwise. Raffles Courtyard official dining page.

Use the current menu for dish choices, allergens and final prices. This article does not claim a tasting or verify portion size.

Plan the correct entrance and weather fallback

The dining page places the Courtyard at Raffles Arcade, 328 North Bridge Road, accessible from the North Bridge Road entrance. The setting is alfresco, so heat and rain can change comfort even when the venue remains open. Raffles Courtyard official dining page.

Ask whether the allocated table is sheltered and what happens if weather affects the seating. Keep a nearby indoor alternative when the occasion cannot move.

Calculate the glass spend without inventing a saving

Two selected S$12++ glasses produce a S$24++ menu subtotal before service charge and prevailing tax. Four glasses produce S$48++ on the same basis. This is an LBRD multiplication exercise, not a recommendation to order more or a claim that bottle ordering is cheaper.

A bottle comparison requires the live bottle price and the exact complimentary-bottle terms. Leave that cell blank until the venue supplies both.

Count the remaining programme nights

From 3 August to 31 August 2026, the calendar contains four Tuesdays—4, 11, 18 and 25 August—and four Wednesdays—5, 12, 19 and 26 August. This is an LBRD calendar calculation based on the published end date.

The count does not establish that every date will operate unchanged. Recheck the official page and reservation confirmation, especially around private events or revised programmes.

Give a mixed group one decision owner

Ask one person to collect dietary constraints, pet requirements, preferred seating, programme choice and the acceptable per-person budget. Put unresolved questions in the booking note instead of assuming staff can solve them after arrival.

A group that mainly wants dinner should not choose Wednesday only for a wine headline. The meal, timing and weather plan must still work without the promotion.

Separate venue facts from editorial judgement

Raffles supplies the hours, prices and programme descriptions. The visit matrix, date count and spending examples in this guide are editorial planning tools. No first-hand meal, queue, service or atmosphere review is claimed.

If an item, price or condition differs at the venue, the current menu and reservation confirmation control. Save the terms that affected the decision.

Use a final five-minute verification

On the day, open the official dining and happenings pages, confirm the chosen programme, check the weather, verify the entrance and contact the venue if a pet, allergy or sheltered table is essential.

Do not travel solely on a search snippet or an old social post. A dated official page is stronger evidence, but live availability still needs confirmation.

Work the example before the real decision

Two friends want one glass of wine each on Wednesday. The published glass price gives a S$24++ subtotal before service charge and prevailing tax. They do not assume the complimentary-bottle mechanic is better because the live bottle price and exact eligible labels are still unknown. They reserve only after confirming a sheltered table.

Checklist

  1. Choose Tuesday, Wednesday or a regular-menu visit
  2. Confirm the programme is still live
  3. Check menu and dietary fit
  4. Verify North Bridge Road access
  5. Ask about sheltered seating
  6. Save the reservation terms

Mistakes to avoid

  • Treating the end date as a stock guarantee
  • Combining separate promotions
  • Comparing glasses with an unknown bottle price
  • Assuming alfresco means weather-proof
  • Calling official descriptions a taste review
