Where to eat in Singapore this Father’s Day (plus other gifting alternatives)

Gentle reminder, busy bees: Father’s Day is this Sunday. And if you’re still wondering where to take him for a nice dinner, here’s a list of options for your turn to spoil Dad.

10 at Claymore

Treat Dad for an indulgent brunch (and maybe some shopping) at Pan Pacific Orchard. With freshly-shucked oysters, fresh seafood that includes Boston lobster, Alaskan king crab and sashimi, there’s even a carving station with roast wagyu taking center stage. $88 gets you entry to this buffet with coffee and tea, but the real treat is $158 that gets you free-flow Champagne. Dad can even stand a chance to win a free stay and dining prizes.

Alkaff Mansion

Treat the first special guy in your life with an Italian brunch buffet ($108 per person) at this pristine and picturesque hillside restaurant. Prosecco, wines, draft beer, soft drinks and juices are free-flowing, while the menu features fail-proof choices like octopus carpaccio, stuffed zucchini, their signature lasagne and sirloin beef.

Cafe 2000

Dad’s got other plans for dinner? Try lunch, tea or brunch at M Hotel’s restaurant. For Father’s Day, there’s a Saturday Tunch (tea-lunch) at $45 and Sunday brunch at $58 (its steamboat dinner is priced at $68), with crab and lots of seafood on offer. Meals come with two mugs of Tiger beer, and a chance to a win a two-night stay at the hotel.

Oriole Cafe + Bar

Learn how to make the perfect coffee such as espresso, V60 pour over and French press at this quirky workshop—perfect for Dads who appreciates a good cup of joe. Simply order a cup and have the option to learn the ways of the barista.

If you’re a more alfresco type of person, this outdoor barbecue has dishes like sausages, grilled hanger steak, lamb chops and garlic marinated prawns. Get into the smoky action and enjoy seafood, Chinese, Indian and Western options at Marina Bay Sands’ buffet restaurant. Available for both lunch and dinner, indulge in charred goodness for $68 per person.

Saint Pierre

This French restaurant serves up all-you-can-eat starters and sides like slow braised pork ribs, crab salad maki, grilled tomatoes and grain dauphinois just for the special occasion. There’s only one choice for a main (it’s an angus ribeye), but the $68 price tag is totally worth it. Desserts include chocolate cake and crepe suzette, which Mom will love. 

Seasonal Tastes

This Sunday brunch doesn’t come cheap ($158 per person), but what you get is a decadent spread of fresh seafood, pastas and free flow champagne and wine to choose from. Dads also receive 15% off the total bill at the hotel’s gastrobar Cook & Brew.

Wooloomooloo Steakhouse

Binge on meats (unlimited servings for the win!) like Australian Tomahawk, lamb rack and chicken roulade at the meat carving station. At $88 per person, the four-course brunch menu has over 20 dishes like lobster bisque, fresh oysters, and wild mushroom to choose from. What’s more, beers go for $8 at happy hour price.

Yan Ting

This chi-chi traditional Chinese restaurant’s just perfect if Dad isn’t too adventurous with food. There’s a special menu just for Dad that goes for $128 and $138 for lunch and dinner respectively. If a boozy brunch tickles your fancy, top up $30 ($158/person) for free flow Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve or wines, beers and soft drinks.
