The best Chinese New Year reunion dinners in Singapore 2026

What is it? A refined modern-Cantonese restaurant housed in the heritage NCO Club, serving contemporary Cantonese cuisine.

Why we love it: Fine-dining restaurant Madame Fan offers a gorgeous combo of glamour and gourmet, with mood lighting, plush interiors and a distinct retro-glam charm. But the main star here is the food. This Chinese New Year, Executive Chef Pak Chee Yit has outdone himself once again, with luxurious dinner menus ranging from $148 to $388 per person for the Eminence set, featuring premium ingredients such as abalone, Boston lobsters and more. Must-orders for the table include the tender, succulent Soon Hock drenched in a fragrant soy sauce sourced from Hong Kong, as well as the 20-year-aged Gu Yue Long rice wine soup with poached Boston lobster.

Time Out tip: Take part in an extra special yu sheng toss this year, with Madame Fan's Hamachi Yu Sheng ($198 for eight pax), where guests get to pen their wishes for the new year with gold ink, over a shortbread cookie shaped like a horse.

What is it? One of the newer Cantonese fine-dining concepts on the block, The Black Pearl occupies the lofty rooftop of Odeon 333 at North Bridge Road.

Why we love it: It's different from your usual Chinese-restaurant-in-a-hotel setting, with rooftop views of downtown Singapore, plenty of natural light streaming in, and modern, updated interiors. The food holds its own too. Executive Chef Dee Chan is an expert in 'Yue' cuisine, an expression of various sub-cuisines from the greater Canton region in China. Pick from three Chinese New Year menus, ranging from the $1388 Happiness Set to the $2388 Golden Harmony Set. Highlights on the Happiness Set include the Seafood Treasure soup, steamed Marble Goby and deep-fried sea cucumber. But you absolutely must not miss the BBQ premium Iberico char siew – a Black Pearl signature – with a lean but succulent bite and distinct smoky aroma.

Time Out tip: Make sure to leave room for desserts – the Teochew yam paste (orh nee) and deep-fried sticky rice cakes are surprisingly good, and the former even comes with delightful bits of crunchy water chestnut.

Address: 333 North Bridge Rd, Odeon 333, #07-11/12, Singapore 188721
Chinese New Year menu availability: From February 1 to March 3
Expect to pay: From $138.80 per person (minimum four to dine)

Savour classic dishes like deep-fried pomfret slicked in sambal, crab meatball soup and tamarind-laced prawns. CNY highlights include grilled char siew pork belly, prosperity seafood risotto with abalone and a lavish seafood-on-ice selection.

What is it? Conveniently located along Orchard Road in Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant remains a reliable favourite for Chinese New Year celebrations.

Six-course and seven-course options are available, with highlights like yu sheng with rock lobsters, Hokkaido scallops and caviar; claypot rice with foie gras; and a trio dessert with chilled bird's nest and snow pear, shredded coconut-coated red bean glutinous rice ball, and deep-fried custard sesame ball.

What is it? Michelin-recommended Cantonese fine-dining restaurant at the newly rebranded Frasers House, a Luxury Collection Hotel (formerly InterContinental Singapore) in Bugis, with a 30-year legacy. 

Why we love it: The 172-seater Man Fu Yuan has been serving guests since 1995, and remains a bastion for Cantonese fine dining in Singapore. Lunar New Year celebrations here this year begin with a 88cm-wide lo hei display ($1288 for 10 pax) surrounding a giant golden winged horse statue – grand or gaudy, we'll let you be the judge of that. After that, the feast continues with dishes like Alaskan king crab with egg white and 15-year Chinese wine; golden fried rice with crispy sea cucumber; and Wuxi-style braised Iberico pork belly with 18-head South African abalone and more.

Time Out tip: Not feeling up for a full set meal? These special dishes are also available on Man Fu Yuan's à la carte menu. Or check out the restaurant's festive takeaway and gifting collection here.
