Philosophy of life: good food, good mood. There’s no better way to get me going in the morning than with a hearty meal awakening my senses. But while we all love our cafe-hopping adventures, doing so for many weeks in succession can get monotonous – sometimes you just hunger for more, and the usual waffles and eggs ben don’t cut it.
Craving a more luxurious change away from the cafe scene? Take your brunching up a notch and #treatyoself to one – or more – of these atas hotel buffets:
Equinox Restaurant at Swissôtel The Stamford will have you torn between eyeing your brunch loot and the spectacular floor-to-ceiling view of Singapore’s skyline. Newly launched in September this year, their Sunday Vintage Brunch serves a fresh seafood spread, including varieties of sashimi from tuna, salmon, hokkigai, and hamachi, and tako.
Meat lovers can also look forward to a live carving station full of succulent roasts. You’ll be dying to sink your teeth into that tender Roasted Rib Angus Beef in Red Wine and Béarnaise!
Lacquered wood makes for calming vibes, while the high ceiling and cosy lighting gives an added touch of refinement. Sipping a glass of champagne in between bites here will have you feeling oh-so-classy – now this is dining with a view, done right.

A highly exclusive event that rolls around only twice a year, SuperBrunch at Ritz-Carlton Millenia is easily THE most opulent brunch buffet in Singapore. Exorbitantly priced from $288 to over $460 depending on your wine option, you’d better eat your weight’s worth to make it count – although we’re sure you’ll have no problems with that, judging from the selection of epic proportions.
SuperBrunch sure is worthy of its name. From a 7-metre seafood table to 130 cheeses, and torched-on-the-spot salmon sushi, options literally stretch from end to end. Starting from Chihuly Lounge to Colony restaurant, the entire hotel lobby basically transforms into food heaven. Don’t despair if you’ve missed the last one in October. Plenty of time to save up for next year!

Projecting old-school New York charm is Manhattan, an upscale bar at Regent Hotel. Come Sunday mornings, the watering hole makes space for a casual but elegant Cocktail Brunch with 5 food stations and – of course – free-flow cocktails.
Head over to the Bloody Mary station to customise your desired version of the spice bomb – pick your poison of gin, vodka, or rum, and top it off with wacky garnishings like bacon and quail’s egg!
The spread can get overwhelming, but dive straight in for the wine-infused cheese – the Purple Moon Cheddar from the buffet’s cheese station is the best of two worlds rolled into one – with its vivid purple hue, a result of being soaked in Cabernet.

Recline in a plush chair at Bar & Billiard Room, the luxurious lounge at Raffles Hotel named after its past. If you’re splurging on a brunch adventure here, be sure to go for the uni with avocado cream, crab, and caviar – one of their greatest hits.
Try to control yourself from going cray at the dessert section – other than there being 20 over varieties for sweet-tooths to indulge in, each delicate confection is styled to perfection, making them worthy subjects for Instagram spammage.

Get yo’ Italiano on at Prego, a homely Italian restaurant in Fairmont Singapore, styled to resemble a classic trattoria. You can always look forward to something new to tickle your tastebuds with here – their seasonal menu is switched up every few months, giving you the best excuse to keep coming back!
Those who love their protein will find themselves a well-marinated paradise in their seasonal roast meat and grill station. Carb lovers, on the other hand, can delight in their live pasta crafting and risotto bar.
Balance out the savouries with some of their seasonal lemon dessert specials – such as Lemon Au Gratin and Lemon Crumble – before heading for round two, three, and more! I’d say sì to this anytime.
