Executive Chef Jake Kowalewski introduces LeVeL33’s new menu, continuing the evolution of ContemBrewery Cuisine through brewery-inspired techniques, premium produce and circular gastronomy.

LeVeL33’s New Menu

More than fifteen years after pioneering the concept of ContemBrewery Cuisine, LeVeL33 unveils a refreshed menu that marks the next chapter of the culinary philosophy that has defined the world’s highest microbrewery in a building since its inception. Debuting in mid-July, the new menu, led by Executive Chef Jake Kowalewski and his team, deepens the relationship between brewery and kitchen through ingredient-led cooking, brewing-inspired innovation and circular gastronomy.

At the heart of the refresh is a simple yet ambitious question: How can a working microbrewery influence the way a modern restaurant cooks? Moving beyond traditional beer pairings, the menu explores how brewing techniques, ingredients and by-products can shape contemporary cuisine, resulting in a collection of dishes that reflects years of research and development while remaining unmistakably LeVeL33.

The Next Evolution of ComtemBrewery Cuisine

As LeVeL33’s culinary philosophy has matured, so too has its approach to cooking. Drawing inspiration from the brewing process itself, Chef Jake and his team incorporate techniques such as fermentation and dry-ageing, alongside brewing ingredients like spent grain, to quietly enhance flavour, texture and depth while allowing quality produce to remain firmly at the forefront. The result is a collection of dishes that could only exist within LeVeL33’s unique brewery setting.

“For us, the brewery is no longer simply where the beer is made—it has become an extension of the kitchen,” says Executive Chef Jake Kowalewski. “Every brewing ingredient and every brewing process presents an opportunity to discover new flavours, textures and techniques. At the same time, we’ve become more confident in knowing when to step back. Brewing should never overshadow exceptional produce—it should reveal new dimensions of flavour while allowing every ingredient to shine in its own right.”

The New Menu

Leading the refreshed menu is the Perle Hops & Organic Coffee Dry-Aged Westholme Wagyu Bone-in Sirloin, a new signature that encapsulates LeVeL33’s evolving philosophy in a single dish. Dry-aged for 33 days—a tribute to LeVeL33 itself—the Westholme Wagyu is matured using Perle hops and organic coffee, two carefully selected ingredients that enhance rather than overpower the beef. Chosen for their delicate floral, herbal and gently spicy character, perle hops lend subtle aromatic complexity throughout the ageing process, while organic coffee contributes roasted depth that complements the Wagyu’s natural richness, resulting in a steak that remains unmistakably true to the quality of the beef while also revealing new layers of flavour.

The brewery’s influence continues throughout the menu in quieter, more nuanced ways. The refreshed Seafood Platter celebrates sustainably sourced seafood accompanied by thoughtfully crafted condiments that enhance freshness and natural sweetness, and the Spanner Crab Risotto replaces traditional arborio rice with a blend of barley, farro and quinoa, drawing on barley’s central role in the brewing process to create a distinctive bite and texture. Finished with a crustacean emulsion enriched with LeVeL33 Blond Lager, the dish develops a subtle malt sweetness that naturally amplifies the delicate flavour of the crab.

In contrast, the Aquna Murray Cod takes a more restrained approach. Rather than incorporating brewery ingredients directly into the dish, Chef Jake allows the pristine quality of the fish to take centre stage, designing it specifically to pair with LeVeL33’s signature brews—from the crisp LeVeL33 Lager and aromatic Wheat Beer to the elegant Brut Beer—showcasing how brewing can shape the dining experience both on and beyond the plate.

Comfort classics have also been thoughtfully reimagined through the lens of ContemBrewery Cuisine. Handmade Gnocchi, enriched with upcycled spent grain, introduces additional texture and depth while giving new purpose to one of the brewery’s most recognisable by-products. Meanwhile, the refreshed Caesar Salad, brightened with housemade beer vinegar, demonstrates how familiar favourites can be transformed through thoughtful refinement.

A New Chapter For LeVeL33

The refreshed menu also reflects LeVeL33’s continued commitment to circular gastronomy, where creativity and sustainability naturally go hand in hand. By allowing the brewery and kitchen to operate as one interconnected ecosystem, the restaurant continues to uncover new culinary possibilities while reducing waste through thoughtful innovation. Sustainability is not treated as a separate initiative, but as an integral part of how the restaurant operates every day.

“When I founded LeVeL33, the ambition was not only to create the world's highest urban microbrewery but to create a unique concept in a unique location. My vision was to combine homemade craft beers with an excellent wine list and of course high-quality food offering,” says Dr. Martin Bém, Founder of LeVeL33. “Whereas as a unique proposition we do incorporate beer ingredients from our inhouse brewery and brewing processes into our menu, I'm very happy that Chef Jake and his team are very creative and embracing this approach that we like to call ContemBrewery Cuisine, which now has its latest expression in the new menu that we're launching this July.”

Whether discovering LeVeL33 for the first time or returning to experience its latest chapter, guests are invited to explore a menu shaped by more than fifteen years of curiosity, craftsmanship and continual refinement. Framed by panoramic views of Marina Bay, the refreshed dining experience celebrates not only how far LeVeL33 has come, but also the exciting direction it continues to take—where brewing and gastronomy inspire one another in increasingly thoughtful ways, creating an experience that is distinctly,

and uniquely, LeVeL33.
