Restaurants in Singapore with “kids eat for free” promos

---

Every parent has experienced the frustration of having to force-feed their kid so that they’ll finish their food. Plus, paying for a full meal that can’t be finished may put quite a strain on your pocket. So to make eating out with your children a little more enjoyable, here’s a list of restaurants in Singapore with “kids eat free” promos.

The kicker? Some of them also have a play area for little ones to exhaust all their energy at. So by the time food comes, they’d gobble everything down and leave nothing to waste.

What is the age limit for “kids eat free” in Singapore?

1. Hard Rock Cafe

---

For burgers & mac n’ cheese

---

We can never have too many American comfort food joints, especially those that offer a whole lot of classic dishes, drinks, and free kids’ meals like Hard Rock Cafe.

The casual eatery serves up an array of wings, pasta, burgers, and BBQ large plates. Think pork ribs, grilled steaks, and beef briskets. There’s also a dynamic list of cocktails, beer, and wine if you need a proper palate cleanser after the greasy feast.

Come by with your kid aged 12 and below from 12pm-5pm on weekends and they’ll be able to nab a free kids’ meal (worth $15.95) when an accompanying adult orders a main course from the a la carte menu.

2. Crystal Jade Hong Kong Kitchen

---

For fried rice & macaroni

---

Crystal Jade operates hundreds of dim sum restaurants throughout the city. However, it’s the free kids’ meal at Crystal Jade Hong Kong Kitchen that brings a different energy to this outlet.

At this Cantonese hotspot, it’s all about the juicy xiao long bao, the hearty congee, and the springy noodles. But that doesn’t mean you should skip the roasted meat and wok-fried dishes.

Swing by with your little person between Monday and Friday after 6pm, and they’ll get a free kid’s set meal. However, the offer is only valid for children aged 6 years old and below.

When you think of a family meal spot, Hilton Hotel may not exactly jump to mind unless you’re the rich and fancy sort. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat the fam to a sumptuous spread, you can now enjoy Estate at Hilton Singapore Orchard’s buffet meals with more value for money.

Children aged 5 years and below get to enjoy the buffet meals for free, whether you’re choosing from the lunch, dinner, or Sunday brunch feasts. The kid-friendly nosh here includes penne pasta with meatballs to egg fried rice, and even a live cotton candy station. Swing by on Sundays for complimentary activities like canvas painting, board games, and a roving magician.

4. Plonk

---

For Australian cuisine

---

Cosy bistro Plonk in Serangoon Gardens proves that there’s more to Aussie food than just mashed avocado on toast.

Over here, the options are endless. There’s the classic brekkie set that comes with eggs or pancakes, small bites, pasta, risottos, pizzas, as well as ribs, steaks, and seafood. Drinks and desserts are on standby, too.

The aesthetics here can be best described as rustic and homey. And the best part is, kids under 10 years old eat for free on Sunday with a paid main.

5. Lazy Lizard

---

For burgers & barbecue

---

Tucked away in the West Coast, Lazy Lizard offers an explosion of American flavours on one of the most extensive menus we’ve seen so far. There are seafood, steaks, BBQ pork ribs, whole roasted chicken, burgers, wings – you name it, they serve it. Aside from the flavourful dishes, the vibe here is casual, which makes it perfect for tucking into a plate of sausages and spam fries.

Given the reasonable price tag and the free kids’ meal every weekend and public holiday, Lazy Lizard is the go-to place for families.

---

6. COCA

---

For steamboat buffet

---

Fresh seafood paste and handmade dumplings are the stars at COCA Restaurant. But other factors draw a constant crowd, like the fact that it lets children eat for free.

At this Thai-Chinese steamboat restaurant, there are 5 extensive menus for you to choose from. There’s lunch, dinner, a la carte, as well as a seafood spread and a grill buffet.

7. Senshi Sushi

---

 For Japanese buffet with sushi

---

Senshi Sushi made its debut inside the Dorsett Singapore hotel years ago. And as expected from a team of veteran chefs, it boasts a mouth-watering menu of Japan’s finest.

Image credit: Eatbook

Here, you’ll find everything from sashimi, sushi rolls, udon, donburi, seared seafood, and grilled meat – the list goes on. An adult buffet starts at $48 which, IMO, is a steal. As for the kids, those younger than 6 years old get to dine for free all day every day.

---

8. TONITO Latin American Kitchen

---

For pasta & chicken fingers

---

For all of the Jewel Changi airport-goers with kids in tow and without a mealtime plan of attack, we gotchu. So, take a deep breath and head straight to TONITO Latin American Kitchen where free kids’ meals await.

Image credit: @oinkyoinkies via Instagram

There’s a lot going on on the menu at this Latin American joint. You have small plates like mozzarella cheese sticks ($15), scallop ceviche ($28), and tacos (from $16). And then you also have larger portions such as rice dishes, pasta, grilled meat, and oven-baked seafood.

Casual dining with a fab view of the rain vortex.

That said, bringing the kids here seems like a good idea. Not only will they probably find a dish they like, but they’ll also get to devour it for free as long as they’re 12 years and below.

9. Hanjip

---

For bulgogi & japchae sets

---

Image credit: Eatbook

In a city stacked with hundreds of Korean meat meccas, Hanjip stands out for several reasons. While the aged Wagyu and prime beef melt in your mouth, the tender Kurobuta pork has just the right amount of marbling. Then there’s the spicy chicken with cheese ($32) and an assortment of Korean fried chicken wings ($25)  that make it hard to resist.

Of course, you can’t pass on the set meals for kids either. Available for free on Saturdays and Sundays with every paying adult, kids under 12 can choose between either bulgogi, japchae, and fried rice, as well as heaps of side dishes like fried chicken wings and sausages.

---

10. El Mero Mero

---

For quesadillas & nuggets

---

So, we’ve been saving up for a trip to Mexico. In the off chance that that doesn’t happen, we at least hope to visit El Mero Mero at Chijmes, where we can eat tacos, drink frozen Margaritas, and pretend we’re in Cancun.

Image credit: @chefleesugi via Instagram

Aside from making your wildest Mexican food dream come true, El Mero Mero will also feed your little ones free kids meals. These include a choice of quesadillas, sausages or nuggets on Saturdays between 12pm-5pm and Sundays till closing.

---

11. Genius Central

---

For Margherita pizza & pasta

---

This might come as a surprise, but healthy eating doesn’t usually involve a lackluster salad or a boiled chicken breast. Sometimes, it comes in the form of lean proteins, good fats, and solid fiber. And that’s what’s on the menu at Genius Central.

Image credit: Eatbook

While the majority of the bites, bowls, and mains are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, they still pack some serious flavours. But if you aren’t ready to jump into the deep end of the healthy eating pool, feel free to order the popcorn chicken.

For those planning a healthy-ish family brunch on Sunday, know that the kids will be able to nab a free meal if they’re below 12 years old. The free food of choice rotates on the regular, and for now it’s a yummy margherita pizza, available for 1 redemption per table and with a minimum purchase of 2 main courses.

---

12. Seoul Garden

---

For Korean barbecue

---

Image credit: @seoulgardensingapore via Instagram

15. Paulaner Brauhaus

---

For a Bavarian weekend brunch

---

With a dimly-lit interior, we can be quick to assume that Paulaner Brauhaus is no place for kids. On the contrary, it’s one of the most kid-friendly bars in Singapore. Serving up delectable German food, the restaurant is also known for its juicy Crispy Half Pork Knuckle ($20), Beef Stroganoff Style ($22), as well as its weekend brunch.

Another popular choice from the menu is Pork Schnitzel and Fries ($25.90).

Not only do kids under the age of 5 eat for free, but they also have the opportunity to get artsy at designated stations for colouring and mask making. It’s also pretty interesting to know that Paulaner Brauhaus is Singapore’s first authentic German microbrewery. So, if you’re looking for a new watering hole whilst catering to your kid’s needs, this place kills two birds with one stone.

What’s even better is that kids aged 12 and under get to tuck into the buffet completely F.O.C, so long as there’s an accompanying paying adult.
