Founder and managing director Martin Bem said the current food and beverage landscape is “challenging enough” without the monsoon surge affecting business.
LeVel33 also recently received a Guinness World Records certification for being the world’s highest micro-brewery in a building.
“So, we have even more people wanting to come up and have a look, and we have to tell them to try to come next week, because this week on the balcony we cannot open (the doors),” Bem added.
He said that while sales on Thursday dropped by about 15 per cent compared with regular days, the restaurant still has a good view of Marina Bay from inside, with his team working to shift some bookings from outdoors to indoors.
With frequent heavy rainfall affecting business, the restaurant changes the menu more often to keep guests coming.
Bem added that it is banking on Singapore’s upcoming 60th birthday celebrations to draw in a bigger crowd and make up for lost sales.
“The overall economic outlook is also a little bit insecure all over the world, and especially in Singapore as well, so it’s definitely not the best time to have a monsoon on top of it,” he said.
“But we had it before, so we are definitely positive going forward.”
