Best Restaurants for Brunch in Singapore (2026)
Brunch · Singapore · 6 tables ranked · Updated June 2026
Singapore runs two brunch cultures at once: the Western all-day-breakfast scene the cafes built across Orchard, the river and the shophouse belt, and the heritage kopitiam ritual of kaya toast and soft eggs that predates all of it. The six below are ranked across both. At the top sits the all-day-breakfast benchmark — Wild Honey, the room that set the city's brunch standard — followed by a riverside coffee roastery, a Tiong Bahru bakery, a free-flow hotel brunch, a kaya-toast institution and a shophouse cafe. The ranking weights kitchen quality, the setting, weekend value and how the floor turns a busy service. Some rooms book and some queue, so plan the weekend table around which register you are after.
The ranking
1. Wild Honey — All-day breakfast · Orchard
333A Orchard Road, Mandarin Gallery · Plates around S$20–32 · Globe-spanning all-day breakfast; the city's brunch benchmark
The all-day breakfast room that set Singapore's brunch standard; the benchmark pick. Book the weekend table.
Wild Honey in Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road is the room that defined the Singapore all-day breakfast, and it earns its place at number one as the city's brunch benchmark. The menu is the draw — a globe-spanning run of breakfasts from the Tunisian and the English to the Scandinavian and the Mediterranean, plated all day rather than only on the weekend, with a deep bench of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options that few brunch rooms match. The cooking is consistent and the format genuinely all-day, so it carries a late-morning weekend and an early-evening plate equally well. It takes reservations and runs busy on a weekend, so book the table ahead; come for the range and the reliability that made this the room the rest of the city's brunch scene measures itself against, and the original Orchard outlet is the one to feature.
2. Common Man Coffee Roasters — Coffee roastery · Robertson Quay
22 Martin Road, Robertson Quay · Mains around S$20–30 · Specialty-coffee flagship; all-day brunch by the river
The riverside coffee flagship for a serious weekend brunch; the coffee-first pick. Book or arrive early.
Common Man Coffee Roasters on Martin Road at Robertson Quay is the flagship of Singapore's specialty-coffee movement, and it earns its place as the coffee-first brunch on this list. Set among greenery a short walk from the river, the room pairs properly sourced and roasted coffee with an all-day brunch built around a strong eggs Benedict, big breakfasts and a rotating board of weekend plates. It has been a fixture since 2013 and the kitchen holds its standard through a busy Saturday-into-afternoon service, which is the window the crowd fills. It opens early and takes reservations as well as walk-ups, so book ahead for a weekend or arrive before the mid-morning rush; come for the coffee program first and a reliable, well-made brunch second, with a riverside-district setting that makes the morning easy to stretch.
3. Tiong Bahru Bakery — Bakery cafe · Tiong Bahru
56 Eng Hoon Street, Tiong Bahru · Pastries S$4–8, plates S$15–25 · French bakery-cafe; croissants and a heritage estate
The Tiong Bahru bakery brunch in a heritage estate; the pastry-first pick. Walk in for a croissant morning.
Tiong Bahru Bakery on Eng Hoon Street anchors the cafe enclave of the Tiong Bahru heritage estate, and it earns its place as the pastry-first brunch on this list. The baking is the reason to come — a croissant and a kouign-amann that hold up against any in the city, plus laminated pastry and a short run of light brunch plates — set in one of Singapore's most charming low-rise neighbourhoods of 1930s walk-ups. The format is a casual bakery-cafe rather than a full sit-down kitchen, so the weekend register is coffee, pastry and a light plate rather than a big breakfast spread. It takes walk-ups and runs a queue at peak, but the turnover moves; come for the baking and the Tiong Bahru morning, and pair it with a wander through the surrounding lanes, which are the real draw of a weekend out here.
4. Crossroads — Hotel Sunday brunch · Orchard
Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza, 320 Orchard Road · Free-flow package S$150–250 · Sunday Champagne brunch; seafood and egg stations
The free-flow Sunday Champagne brunch on Orchard; the celebration pick. Book ahead for an occasion.
Crossroads at the Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza on Orchard Road runs one of the city's marquee free-flow Sunday brunches, and it earns its place as the celebration booking on this list. The format is a Champagne brunch with seafood and egg-grill stations — oysters, an egg dish with caviar, brioche French toast — built around free-flow bubbly, served on a Sunday in a polished hotel setting in the middle of the Orchard district. It is the boozy-hotel register at its most generous, a brunch you come to for the spread and the bottomless glass rather than a single kitchen's point of view, which is why it sits below the cafes on cooking but earns its spot for an occasion. Reservations are essential and the package pricing climbs with the Champagne tier, so book ahead and treat it as the celebration rather than the everyday weekend table.
5. Ya Kun Kaya Toast — Kopitiam · Far East Square
18 China Street, Far East Square · Toast-egg-kopi set around S$5–7 · Heritage kaya-toast institution since 1944
The heritage kaya-toast kopitiam; the local breakfast ritual and best value here. Walk in early.
Ya Kun Kaya Toast's flagship on China Street at Far East Square is the institution that has defined the Singapore breakfast ritual since 1944, and it earns its place as the most authentic and best-value morning on this list. The order is the classic set — crisp kaya toast with a slab of cold butter, soft-boiled eggs taken with dark soy and white pepper, and a strong local kopi — for a few dollars, eaten at a marble-topped table in a kopitiam that does the format the way it has for generations. The atmospheric Far East Square outlet in the conserved shophouse belt is the one to feature over the mall branches. It takes no reservations, opens early and turns over fast; come for the proper local breakfast and the price rather than a Western brunch spread, and pair it with a walk through the surrounding conservation district.
6. My Awesome Cafe — Shophouse cafe · Telok Ayer
202 Telok Ayer Street, in a heritage shophouse · Plates around S$18–28 · Western cafe-brunch in a former medical hall
The Telok Ayer shophouse cafe for an unhurried Western brunch; the heritage-room pick. Walk in on a quieter morning.
My Awesome Cafe on Telok Ayer Street is a Western cafe-brunch set inside a characterful old shophouse — a former Chinese medical hall whose vintage fittings give the room a worn, lived-in charm rare in the polished CBD cafe belt. It has been a Telok Ayer stalwart for over a decade and earns its place as the heritage-room pick on this list: a reliable weekend brunch of tartines, salads and egg plates served in a setting that does much of the work. The cooking is honest and well-made rather than ambitious, which is the right register for the kind of long, unhurried morning the room invites. It takes walk-ups and reservations for a group, and the quieter weekend windows are when the shophouse is at its best; come for the setting and an easy Western brunch across the conservation district rather than for a destination kitchen.
Avoid for brunch
Odette, Les Amis and the tasting-menu rooms — across the city. Singapore's world-famous degustation destinations are lunch and dinner rooms with no brunch service at all, so a weekend-morning booking is simply the wrong format. Save them for a milestone tasting and keep the brunch table at an all-day room like Wild Honey or Common Man, which are built for the daytime register.
Tong Ah Eating House — as a sunrise kaya-toast stop. The famous kaya-toast room is worth a visit, but it now opens late morning rather than at dawn, so a reader after a 7am kopitiam ritual will find the shutters down. For an early kaya-toast breakfast head to Ya Kun at Far East Square instead, which opens early and does the classic set.
Plain Vanilla — Telok Ayer. The cupcakery a few doors from the shophouse cafes is lovely for coffee and cake, but its food is dessert-and-bakery-led rather than a full brunch kitchen, so a table expecting a proper weekend spread will find the menu narrow. Use it for an afternoon sweet, and keep the brunch at My Awesome Cafe or Common Man.
Reservation strategy for a Singapore brunch
The sit-down rooms are the bookings. Wild Honey in Mandarin Gallery and Common Man at Robertson Quay both take reservations and run busy on a weekend, so book the table ahead for a Saturday or Sunday late-morning slot; Common Man opens early, so an unbooked walk-up before the rush is the other way in. For an occasion, Crossroads at the Marriott runs its free-flow Sunday brunch by reservation only and books out, so plan it well ahead.
The bakery and the kopitiam reward the clock. Tiong Bahru Bakery and Ya Kun at Far East Square take walk-ups rather than reservations and both run a queue at peak, but the turnover is fast — arrive before the mid-morning crowd and the table is there. Ya Kun opens early, which makes it the move for a sunrise kaya-toast breakfast before the heat builds.
My Awesome Cafe in Telok Ayer is the relaxed walk-up. It takes reservations for a group but holds an easy all-day table that rarely turns one away on a quieter weekend morning, so it is the choice for an unhurried Western brunch without a plan. For a group that cannot agree on a register, the all-day range at Wild Honey is the safest move.
