Mother’s Day 2026 in Singapore falls on May 10, and whether your mum prefers a leisurely brunch, a refined dinner, or an afternoon that doesn’t involve a restaurant at all, there’s something here worth booking.
From heritage Cantonese mansions to rooftop views over Marina Bay, this year’s offerings span the full range: Intimate and sprawling, wallet-conscious and celebratory.
We’ve done the groundwork so you don’t have to.
Crossroads Buffet
One day, one table, the whole family.
On May 10, Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel’s Crossroads Buffet pulls out a spread generous enough to earn its keep: Live stations turning out grilled lobster thermidor and crab cake eggs benedict with caviar hollandaise, a carving station with black angus striploin and lamb leg, and fresh seafood on ice with snow crab legs, mud crab, and live prawns.
Beyond the mains, there’s a solid run of grilled specialities, freshly baked pizzas, and interactive stations such as make your own kueh pie tee and DIY gado gado.
The chocolate fondue station closes things out with free-flowing liquid chocolate for dipping fruits and treats, a fittingly indulgent finale for a day dedicated to Mum, who also receives a red rose on arrival.
Priced at $118++ per adult, $42++ per child. Book before May 5 with code “MD20OFF” for 20 per cent off (groups up to five).
Address: 320 Orchard Road, Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, Singapore 238865

Ichigo Ichie
The most personal listing on this guide. For Mother’s Day 2026, Chef Akane Eno of fine-dining kappo restaurant Ichigo Ichie draws from her own childhood.
Specifically, the oyakodon her mother made for her, Oyako Donabe, a Japanese rice cooked with spring onions, topped with simmered chicken soboro, egg yolk sauce enriched with uni, and finished with nori and ao nori.
It’s available from May 5 to 16 as part of both lunch and dinner menus (5-course lunch from S$138++; 9-course dinner from S$350++). Quiet, precise, and heartwarming.
Address: 442 Orchard Road, #01-16/17, Claymore Connect, Singapore 238879
Reservations: Book via ichigoichie.com.sg or WhatsApp +65 9018 2897
Artemis Grill & Sky Bar
Few dining rooms in Singapore offer a view quite like this.
Forty floors above the CBD, Artemis Grill marks Mother’s Day on May 10 with a three-course menu ($78++ per person) available across lunch (11.30am–2.30pm) and dinner (5.30pm–9pm).
The food is grounded in southern european cooking, think smoked fjord trout, Iberico pork loin, and a summer berry pavlova to close.
Younger guests have their own menu, and the Bellini Bar returns with fresh fruit bellinis at $16++ a glass. A good fit for families who want the occasion to feel like one.
Address: 138 Market Street, Level 40, CapitaGreen, Singapore 048946
Reservations: Reserve online at artemisgrill.com.sg or call +65 9850 7954
L’Amo Bistro del Mare
A one-day collaboration worth noting. On May 10, L’Amo Bistro del Mare partners with Jing Botanics for a brunch (12pm–2.30pm, $98++ per person) that moves from light to indulgent at a Sunday pace: Red Snapper Crudo with marinated strawberries opens things up, before a braised Wagyu short rib brings the afternoon into richer territory.
Mothers leave with a Jing Botanics gift set, a thoughtful wellness-led addition that gives the meal a little more weight beyond the table.
Address: 3A Merchant Road, Riverside Point, #01-01, Singapore 058394
Reservations: Book via metthotelsandresorts.com/singapore/
Publico Ristorante & Garden
On May 10, Publico’s Mother’s Day Brunch ($98++ per adult, $32++ per child) rolls out live pasta stations, wood-fired pizza selections, a carvery, and a semi-buffet anchored by crowd-pleasers.
Think Pugliese burrata, slow-simmered ragù over house-made pastas, roasted beef short ribs, and grilled octopus among them.
Every mum arrives to a complimentary custom bouquet of flowers from a bespoke floral bar, a glass of AIX Rose, and a slice of cake.
A kids’ corner with table-served treats and activities runs alongside, so the adults can actually settle in.
For those looking to extend the celebration, two-hour free-flow packages run from $18++ (non-alcoholic) to $48++ (AIX Rose, Prosecco, house wines and beer) and $68++ for premium, which adds a trio of exclusive cocktails and Aperol Spritz to the mix.
Address: 1 Nanson Road, InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay, Singapore 238909

MIMI
Tucked into The Riverhouse, one of Singapore’s last two remaining conserved Chinese mansions, MIMI makes a case for celebrating mum across the whole of May rather than a single Sunday.
The 妈密私宴 (Mother’s Day Family Feast) runs from May 1 to May 31, priced at $88++ per person for sharing plates or $118++ for individual plating.
The food is anchored in Cantonese and Teochew cooking: Heritage recipes, honest flavours, the kind of meal that feels less like a restaurant outing and more like sitting at someone’s grandmother’s table.
Address: 3A River Valley Road, #01-02, The Riverhouse, Singapore 179020
Reservations: Reserve a table via mimirestaurant.sg or WhatsApp +65 8879 0688
Cassia
If a full brunch feels like too much of a commitment, Cassia offers an easier entry point.
On May 9 and 10, the Oriental Dim Sum Afternoon Tea is available as a standalone from 3pm to 5pm, priced at $136++ for two.
The handcrafted dim sum includes a Steamed Charcoal Bun with Barbecued Iberico Pork and Black Truffle, a Spicy Wagyu Beef Puff, and Honeycomb Taro Puffs.
It’s the kind of afternoon that doesn’t demand too much of anyone: Just good tea, good dim sum, and no particular reason to rush.
Address: 1 The Knolls, Capella Singapore, Sentosa Island, Singapore 098297

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie
Best suited to families with children, Verandah’s Mother’s Day Weekend Poolside Barbecue on May 10 (12pm–3pm) is designed with the specific aim of letting mums actually sit down.
A complimentary hands-on golden chocolate tart workshop is run for mothers, while a dedicated kids’ corner with games, colouring, and cartoon screenings keeps younger guests occupied.
The barbecue spread is substantial that includes dry-aged angus striploin, kombu butter prawns, leg of lamb, and satay among the highlights, alongside a full cold cuts and salads spread.
Priced at $88++ per adult, $44++ per child (6–11), under-fives eat free.

Il Giardino
Italian, unfussy, and available across the weekend.
Il Giardino’s Mother’s Day offering runs on both 9 and 10 May as an à la carte brunch buffet at $68++ per person.
The menu plays to the kitchen’s strengths: Gratinated Japanese Tsudau Oysters, cappelli truffle ravioli, and a live pasta cheese wheel station where house-made Gigli carbonara is finished tableside.
Mains come as a choice of lobster & saffron risotto, pan-seared snapper, or slow-braised beef cheek; round it off with tiramisu or the house chiacchiere.
Address: 50 Cluny Park Rd, Level 2 Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore 257488

Town Restaurant & La Brasserie
Two restaurants, one format, same good idea.
At The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, Town Restaurant lays out a lavish brunch spread on May 10: Fresh seafood on ice, slipper lobster laksa, chilli crab with mantou, and a showstopping berry garden dessert assembled a la minute.
Across at The Fullerton Bay, La Brasserie does the same with seafood paella at a live station, tiger prawn laksa, and creme brulee made with locally grown vanilla bean.
Both brunches run 12.30pm to 3.30pm at $118++ per adult, with a free-flow Champagne option at $228++.
Mothers at both venues are invited to a complimentary flower arrangement workshop and pre-registration required.

Xin Cuisine Chinese Restaurant
For families who prefer a set menu over a buffet, Xin Cuisine at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium keeps things straightforward and comforting.
The Parents’ Day set menus run from May 1 to June 21, a generous window that takes the pressure off securing a specific date.
The menu is rooted in Cantonese classics: double-boiled chicken soup with fish maw served in a claypot, tea-smoked roasted duck, pan-seared marble goby, and longevity noodles with crab meat to close.
The premium menu steps things up with 16-head South African abalone and a complimentary suckling pig.
Priced from $588++ for five persons and $1,088++ for ten, with complimentary parking thrown in for good measure.
Address: Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium, Level 4, 317 Outram Road, Singapore 169074
Website: Reserve at singaporeatrium.holidayinn.com.
Little Island Brewing Co
Not every Mother’s Day plan has to centre on a reservation. Little Island Brewing Co’s Changi Village outpost opens up for a free-admission craft market on May 9 and 10 (12pm–6pm), with a curated selection of handmade confectioneries, artisan crafts, and lifestyle products from small local brands.
The pet-friendly, coastal-facing setting is relaxed by design with house-brewed craft beers and smoked gourmet food on hand, a bouncy castle and mini scooter rides for the kids.
It’s a low-key afternoon that still makes the occasion feel considered, without anyone having to book weeks in advance.
Address: Block 6 Changi Village, #01-01, Singapore 509907
Reservations: Free admission, visit libc.co for more details.
Average Service
Something a little different.
On May 10 from 4pm to 6pm, Jalan Besar cafe Average Service hosts an afternoon of guided portrait drawing with illustrator Hafi for a quiet, hands-on session designed for spending time with your mum, a mother figure, or someone who’s shaped your life.
No art experience required; the idea is to slow down and look at each other a little more carefully.
Each pair gets a drink, a slice of cake to share, and a 15 per cent Average Service dining voucher that can be used after.
Address: 315 Jalan Besar, Singapore 208978
Reservations: Tickets are available at yourtessera.com/e/portrait-sessions-with-hafi and follow @averageservice.sg for updates.
