The perfect pick-me-up on a weekend; brunch lies in that sweet spot between a late breakfast and early lunch.
From various renditions of egg on toast, decadent fruit-laden pancakes or an assortment of pasta or rice bowls, these are some of the best brunch spots in Singapore that have withstood the test of time (and Singaporeans’ gastronomic taste buds).
A quaint waterfront diner that boasts incredible views of the Singapore River, Publico’s charming yet relaxed setting makes for a picturesque spot on Robertson Quay. Order their raved brunch items with an Italian spin, with wood-fired pizzas such as the tartufata pizza with black truffle, porcini and truffle oil, before rounding it off with a hazelnut panna cotta or tiramisu. Order their specialty cocktails for a chill catch-up session.
Best part? It’s pet-friendly too! Simply make a note in your reservation and they’ll prepare a water bowl for your furry critter!
Nestled in the heart of Keong Saik road, this is one brunch spot that’s alive in the day, unlike the nightly bars that surround it. Be transported into the thick of Africa with its rustic wood & leather accents, and ethnic portraits & crafts that add vibrant pops of colour to the cosy three-storied shophouse.
As for their coffee? The specialty house blend picked from Uganda, Mexico, and Brazil, reflects the rich history of its home continent, with a dark and rich body topped with a medley of spices such as cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg. Kafe Utu’s brunch items are one-of-a-kind African fare, such as the Buttermilk Fried Chicken, which is accompanied by homemade sauces of congo bongo, fresh mango chilli marmalade and house chilli.
Splashed out in shades of dusty pink and warm neutrals, this Instagram-iconic cafe is a rare addition to the Serangoon neighbourhood. Amber Ember are renowned for their signature Australian Jaffles, a type of “toasties”, and topped with purple sweet potato mash. Another fan favorite is the “AFC”, or Amber’s Fried Chicken – a plate of four juicy, fried chicken wings that are generously coated in honey sriracha and blue cheese sauce.
A popular riverside cafe among Punggol residents since 2014, Whisk and Paddle is set amongst a backdrop of lush greenery away from the bustle of the city. With reliably good grub & lip-smacking beverages in a spacious al fresco setting, it’s the perfect North-east brunch spot. Following their success, they’ve opened a new outlet at Bukit Gombak!
For a unique twist on typical cafe lattes, there is a milk-based Black Sesame Latte, Gula Melaka Latte for some local flair & a unique combination of Matcha & Rose Latte. Their newest addition to the menu? A miso-glazed Octopus sous-vide and grilled to tenderness, served alongside arugula, fresh tomato salsa and a Jerusalem artichoke puree.
