Best Brunch Restaurants and Cafes in Singapore
As a highly modernized country, Singapore is also one of the busiest in the world. Sometimes, however, even the busiest and most workaholic people crave slow mornings from time to time. That makes brunch dates (with loved ones or perhaps by yourself) an important reminder for us to take things slow and let the day unravel on its own.
Known for its state-of-the-art infrastructure and modern architecture, and often referred to as the “Garden City,” much of the city-state’s beauty could be attributed to its abundance of green spaces and clean environment. And they happen to have some of the best spots for brunch, too! Below, we’ve put together a list of the best brunch restaurants and cafes in Singapore for days that are less hectic — because, hey, you deserve those slow, late mornings, too.
Fika Swedish Cafe and Bistro
With its name derived from the Swedish word “fika” (which means a moment to slow down, recharge, and appreciate the good things), Fika Swedish Cafe and Bistro could not be more perfect for those seeking just that.
Located in a cozy setting, Fika serves home-cooked and traditional Swedish meals that just scream comfort. To start your day right, you may opt for their breakfast menu, which includes Fika Breakfast (S$23), Granola Oatmeal Breakfast (S$22), and Hard Rye Crispbread With Toppings (S$9). Their breakfast menu and other offerings are typically available until 5 PM only, but their main menu is available until the store closes.

Singapore boasts a lot of coffee spots, but there are arguably only a few that deserve a second visit (more than twice, even), and that includes Frankie & Fern’s.
