The best Mother's Day brunches, dinners and afternoon tea in Singapore 2026

It’s a lively garden party over at Una with Mama's Fiesta en el Jardin, a Spanish brunch buffet event. Over the course of 2.5 hours, stuff yourselves silly with all-you-can-eat tapas such as poached octopus, salmon carpaccio, and roasted scallops in thyme olive oil – alongside a choice of one main per diner, with char-grilled Iberian pork and 12-hour slow-braised beef cheek being some options. But wait, there’s more: Live stations whipping up seafood paella and Iberico ham with eggs; mushroom soup with artisanal bread; and a dessert counter with rice pudding, puff pastries, and DIY churros.

Una’s location within The Alkaff Mansion already means that the ambience will be top-notch. But in line with Spain’s Cordoba Festival in May, the verdant grounds of the colonial building will be blossoming even more beautifully with vivid seasonal florals. The cherry on top? Mum gets to take home blooms of her own from a DIY flower bar that’s set up just for the occasion.

What is it? This classic New York-style steakhouse is going all out for Mum with a lavish three-course set menu from $188 per person, available from May 3 to 10.

Why we love it: The line-up is truly indulgent from start to finish, beginning with Manhattan clam chowder, before sinking into the premium surf and turf, featuring lobster tail and USDA Prime petite filet mignon, finished with au poivre sauce. Plus, you can choose a side of mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, grilled asparagus or steak fries. Dessert lands on a comforting note with New York cheesecake and strawberry ice cream, while a Gin Tea Breeze cocktail ($26) adds a zesty, herbaceous lift to the occasion.

Time Out tip: Don’t leave before snapping that complimentary Polaroid. It’s a charming little keepsake that captures the love and laughter of this very special moment.

Say it with flowers this Mother’s Day with an unhurried afternoon spent nibbling on botanical-inspired treats at Ginger.Lily, one of our choice spots for some of the best afternoon tea in Singapore. The chic lounge at Hilton has recently launched a fresh rendition of its teatime experience that happens to be perfect for the occasion. While the whimsical storybook-style pastry stand remains, it’s now a clear version with delicate flowers pressed within. Together with that comes a refreshed nature-led French-Japanese fusion menu, titled ‘From Root To Bloom’.

Some highlights: a matcha swan with pistachio praline, a herbaceous mushroom-and-bechamel gyoza, and a pear-and-shiso tart with lemon curd. Scones are non-negotiable, of course – you get two variations here, vanilla and cranberry seed. You won’t have to sip sparingly between each bite, either, because artisanal Pryce Tea blends and Toby’s Estate coffee are free-flow throughout.

Availability: Daily 12pm to 5.30pm
Price: $65 per person

If mum’s a proud bibik, the infamous Orchard Towers is the answer – because that’s where the newly opened Peranakan Club has made its home. This six-in-one concept tells the rich stories of Nyonya culture through a gallery, restaurant, private dining room, bar, tea lounge and retail store – a living museum, if you will – and it’s safe to say that you’re in for more than just good food.

After savouring classics like prawn kueh pie tee ($22), itek tim ($17), and of course, ‘black gold’ aka ayam buah keluak ($26) in The Little Nyonya restaurant, walk around and admire the intricate heirlooms like tiffin carriers, kerosang brooches, and embroidered slippers that adorn every wall. Or, wander into the Kebaya Bar for Peranakan-inspired cocktails such as the Keluak Kopi-O-tini and Kueh Salat. Feeling fancy? Champagne and caviar await in the Kerosang Tea Room.

Flavour-packed Argentinian fare with sky-high views from the 55th floor of Ion Orchard? Why, yes, please. It’ll be hard for your mum not to fall in love with Fire Restaurant – especially when its Dia de la Madre (Mother’s Day) brunch is an all-you-can-eat affair. Start off with appetisers like hearty stews and the empanada of the day, before piling your plate high at the seafood bar with poached prawns, salmon gravlax, Japanese oysters, and blue mussels.

But go easy, because there’s still a roast station with flame-grilled slabs, a salad bar, and a picada counter with all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, and smoked meat. Roasted vegetable sides like corn ribs, broccoli, and bell peppers help cut through all the meatiness. Finally, end things off on a sweet note with dulce de leche panna cotta, lemon meringue tart and other confections from the dessert table.

This one’s perfect for large multi-generational families who love going all out during celebrations. Opened in late 2025, Wenzhou Mansion is the first and only fine-dining restaurant in Singapore dedicated to Jiangsu-Zhejiang (aka Jiangzhe) cuisine. For the uninitiated, this category of Chinese fare is characterised by light, subtle flavours with cooking styles that accentuate the natural deliciousness of the ingredients used – something your mum and even grandparents are sure to approve of.

While you’ll be spoiled for choice with over 120 dishes on the menu, some recommended standouts for sharing include the large East China Sea yellow croaker with scallion oil; steamed roe crab with minced pork, pumpkin, and claypot rice; and the comforting Wenzhou fish ball and pork wonton soup. Despite its tradition-rooted approach, the restaurant surprises with sleek, contemporary interiors, tucked away on the second floor of a colonial Tanjong Pagar shophouse.
