Singapore, one of Asia’s gourmet capitals, is known for its endless dining options, and in particular its extraordinary spreadable buffets, which attract foodies from far and wide. However, for a first-time visitor, all these options can be a bit confusing and that is exactly why I wrote this article, which is like a mini guide to the best buffets in Singapore.

Straits Kitchen is located inside the elegant Grand Hyatt, just near the corner of Orchard and Scotts in the heart of the city, and is probably the only buffet in Singapore that serves the best of the city’s street food and the delicacies of the Hawker center in a classy hotel setting. The rich variety features many local favorites representing Singapore’s diverse ethnicities, including Beef Rendang, Satay, Chili Gambons, Hainan Chicken Rice, Laksa and Tandoori Chicken, just to name a few…
Must-try desserts include almond jelly, banana fritters, mango pudding, and the best durian ice cream.
This is also one of the best buffets in Singapore for classy dishes such as “Buddha Jumps over the Wall” soup.
Next in line, and just a few steps away, is Carousel, at Royal Plaza on Scotts, which hasn’t been around very long, but has already made a name for itself as one of the most sought after buffets in Singapore.

Located inside the Meritus Mandarin Hotel on Orchard Road, the international buffet at Triple 3 (the buffet restaurant) gives Shangri-la some stiff competition and is another serious contender for the title of Best Buffet in Singapore… There are several stations gastronomy here. serving up western and eastern delicacies, from fresh seafood and cold cuts to a variety of fresh meat dishes and much more… And you can dine indoors or ‘al fresco’, poolside.
Last but not least is the Weekend Champagne Dim Sum Brunch at Mandarin Oriental’s Cherry Garden restaurant, and while it’s only served on weekends, it’s well worth the wait… Their delicately handcrafted dim sums and Kurobuta roast pork are probably the best in town, plus you can enjoy free flow champagne and a very nice atmosphere… Who could ask for more?
