10 best brunch buffets in Singapore

  • Italian
  • Orchard

What is it? Modern European restaurant helmed by Michelin-decorated chef Sergio Herman, with flavours inspired by his Zeeland heritage.

Why we love it: Definitely one of the higher-end Sunday brunches on the list, this experience oozes sophistication all around. You’ll spot disco ball-inspired decor on the walls, while a live DJ spins near the bread and cheese table – just enough to amp things up, but not in a way that distracts from your meal of scallop crudo, tender beef cheek, and Le Pristine’s famous fish soup. Vegetables aren’t an afterthought; They hold their own and provide good balance with items like vitello tonnato, ravioli with ricotta and peas, and refreshing cherry tomato gazpacho.

Time Out tip: Sure, you can go up via the staircase at the hotel lobby – makes sense since Le Pristine sits on the mezzanine floor – but take a minor detour towards the left to use the elevator instead. The doors open to a sultry red-and-black candlelit ‘tunnel’ that doubles up as a cocktail nook and sets the mood for a stylish entrance.

Address: 10 Scotts Rd, Grand Hyatt Singapore, Singapore 228211
Brunch buffet timing: Sun noon-3pm
Price: $135

  • Singapore

What is it? With floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the glistening Marina Bay waterfront, this restaurant at The Fullerton Bay sets the scene for luxurious feasting.

Why we love it: The ‘Joie de Vivre’ weekend champagne brunch is an exuberant affair, starting with a welcome tipple of a classic Negroni or Aperol Spritz. Pick out your favourite canapes and seafood appetisers before diving into the main programme: a bounty of fresh ocean catch like Boston lobsters and smoked trout, and premium meats including malt-roasted Iberico pork from the carving station. Call it a day with a plethora of desserts like honey Earl Grey hazelnut cake and the chef’s signature Berries Forest with sorbet.

Time Out tip: Be sure not to miss the two highlighted brunch specials: The ‘ocean and sand’ tart that’s an ensemble of different types of fish, crab, and roe with avocado mousse and yuzu; as well as the wagyu skirt endive bundles topped with fresh basil, toasted nuts and calamansi.

  • Italian
  • Orchard
  • Recommended

What is it? One of the best Italian buffet experiences you’ll find in Singapore, housed within the five-star hotel Conrad Singapore Orchard.

Why we love it: ‘La Cucina Storica’ – that’s the name of Basilico’s weekend brunch buffet, which translates to “a taste through time”. Savour timeless Mediterranean flavours with tableside risotto trolleys, wood-fired pizzas with black truffle focaccia and mascarpone, homemade gnocchi from a live pasta station, and nonna-style meatball stew. 

Time Out tip: Don’t forget the whole cheese room waiting to be explored, with over 50 artisanal cheeses, including those infused with chilli, wine, saffron, and even tea.

Address: Cuscaden Rd, Level 2 Conrad Singapore Orchard, Singapore 249715
Brunch buffet timing: Sat-Sun noon-3pm
Price: $128

  • Bistros
  • Orchard
  • Recommended

What is it? Homegrown bistro tucked away in a quieter part of Orchard Road, specialising in French comfort fare with a twist.

Why we love it: It feels like a grandma’s home – cosy, inviting, and with way too much lovingly cooked food. The brunch trolley rolls out on Fridays and weekends with an all-you-can-eat selection of small plates like duck fat roasted potatoes and hearty meat pies. Summer Hill also does some stellar roast meat, so if you see the duck confit, grilled lamb, or signature French fried chicken as part of the line-up, don’t skip out.

Time Out tip: The theme of the brunch trolley menu changes every few months, so check back often for something new to tickle your fancy. Be warned: You might just find yourself spending your calories here multiple times a year.

Address: 442 Orchard Rd, #02-17 Claymore Connect, Singapore 238879
Brunch buffet timing: Fri noon-2pm; Sat-Sun 11am-1pm, 1.30pm-3pm
Price: $108

5. Manhattan

What is it? Vibey New York-inspired bar that’s been named in the World’s 50 Best Bars list time and time again. It’s also the world’s first in-hotel rickhouse – there’s a secret room entirely filled with barrel-aged cocktails.

Why we love it: No bawling babies disrupting your weekend bliss – the Sunday cocktail brunch at Manhattan is an adult-only affair, with a spread that reflects the bar’s American identity. Think cheese toasties, USA oysters, mezcal- and bourbon-infused meats, and New York cheesecake.

Time Out tip: Unlike most other Sunday brunches, this one doesn’t require a top-up for bottomless beer, wine, and even free-flow craft cocktails. Additionally, enjoy free play in the build-your-own cocktail room with boozy milkshakes and customisable Bloody Marys.

Address: 1 Cuscaden Rd, Level 2 Conrad Singapore Orchard, Singapore 249715
Brunch buffet timing: Sun noon-3pm
Price: $168

  • Steakhouse
  • Orchard

What is it? A ‘seafood steakhouse’ by Australian chef and fish butcher Josh Niland, who adopts a scale-to-tail approach when designing dishes.

Why we love it: Its Sunday roast breaks away from the traditional definition of the meal, with meaty slabs traded for kingfish in banana leaf and swordfish empanadas. It’s also not a buffet – you’ll be served some amazing bread, an array of starters, and your choice of either individual mains or a larger sharing one. But there’s no question about being well-satiated here, and there’s always the option to top-up for a free-flow booze package. Plus, the leafy botanical decor that extends to the ceiling is a breath of fresh air.

Time Out tip: Leave some space for the dessert trolley that’ll roll around after the meal. Don’t worry, the tiramisu and basque burnt cheesecake don’t have fish in them – though there is a gelato in the à la carte menu that’s infused with tuna eye.

Address: 38 Cuscaden Rd, The Singapore Edition, Singapore 249731
Brunch buffet timing: Sun noon-3pm

  • Italian
  • Sentosa

What is it? Farmhouse-style restaurant that’s equal parts rustic and chic – one you won’t regret making the trip to Sentosa for.

Why we love it: Fiamma means “flame” in Italian, so expect lots of wood-fired, charred, and spit-roasted nosh at its Sunday brunch buffet. Think sanchoku Wagyu beef tomahawk, frutti di mare pasta with char-grilled Boston lobster among other sea treasures, and pizzas prepared at an open kitchen before being served tableside. A roving band serenades you as you dine, further adding to the atmosphere.

Time Out tip: The outdoor seats are idyllic, but save those for evenings. It tends to get hot out during the afternoon as Singapore often does, and being indoors gives best access to the free-flow feast in store. 

Address: 1 The Knolls, Capella Singapore, Singapore 098297
Brunch buffet timing: Sun noon-3pm
Price: $158

  • Fusion
  • Singapore

What is it? The world-famous restaurant’s name says it all – it’s a unique fusion of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian flavours. Singapore’s is the only outpost in Asia, perched on the 52nd floor with panoramic views. 

Why we love it: Okay, we’re cheating a little – SushiSamba’s Copacabana brunch is only on Saturdays. But here’s the deal: Gorgeous Samba dancers busting out sizzling moves right by your table, a DJ spinning Afro-Latin beats, and endless sushi, robata-grilled meats and skewers from a live station. It’d be criminal to leave this lively brunch party out. 

Time Out tip: While there are multiple seating times, make the most of your moolah with the earliest booking at 12 on the dot. Trust us, you’d want to be there for the full three hours.

Address: 168 Robinson Rd, Level 52 Capital Tower, Singapore 068912
Brunch buffet timing: Sat noon-3pm
Price: $128

  • Singapore

What is it? History on a plate – an ode to the Southeast Asian flavours that represent our local heritage, meshed with a hint of British colonialism.

Why we love it: Quite a handful of the à la carte items are part of the weekend brunch buffet, and yes, crowd favourites like the potato pave, kaya croast (croissant toast), and kueh pie tee are part of it too. Except they’re free-flow, and we’re sure you won’t stop at one. Don’t worry, it’s not all finger food. There’s also Hathaway’s signature laksa, chicken rice and other soul dishes.

Time Out tip: Whip out your DBS/POSB card for one-for-one rates on this brunch buffet till the end of May 2026 – a real steal. But if you’re after more premium dishes like oysters and angus beef, the weekend dinner buffet ($96) is where it’s at.

Address: 168 Robinson Rd, #01-01/02 Capital Tower, Singapore 068912
Brunch buffet timing: Sat-Sun noon-1.30pm 
Price: $76

10. Estate

What is it? Ultimate temptation for the most massive of cheat meals. This buffet-only concept at Hilton Singapore Orchard leaves no room for small eaters.

Why we love it: A specific emphasis is placed on lobster and wagyu at the Sunday brunch buffet – there’s everything from grilled rock lobster with garlic herb butter, to lobster omelettes with shellfish bisque, and wagyu beef brisket. But that’s far from being all of it – a quick scroll through its menu will have you going “wait, there’s more?” with each page. Raclette cheese, made-to-order ceviche and tempura, freshly shucked oysters, dim sum and Indian delights are just some of the many gems to try.

Time Out tip: Have your little ones around for this one. It’s perfectly kid-friendly with painting activities, a roving magician, and board games to keep them occupied while you pile your plate high.

Address: 333 Orchard Rd, Level 5 Hilton Singapore Orchard, Singapore 238867
Brunch buffet timing: Sun noon-3pm
Price: $138
