48. The Pipe District (Closed)
This is one of our best-kept secrets for dining with kids out West. We admit it’s a bit of a random location, Singapore Science Park 2, but don’t let that dissuade you. The Pipe District is a hidden gem. Once inside, you’ll be rewarded with a super-cool industrial-themed bistro serving up ridiculously tasty dishes. We love the Charcoal Fish and Chips, don’t knock them until you’ve tried them. The best bit? The amazing indoor kid’s play area, plus ride on toys and trikes! Who said Science Parks weren’t fun?!

56. Beauty In The Pot
Kids love hotpot just as much as we do, so when we heard Beauty In The Pot was a super kid-friendly restaurant, we were psyched! Every Beauty in The Pot outlet in Singapore has a customised children’s playground within the outlet. Its playgrounds are fully air-conditioned, equipped with soft-fall mats and sanitiser. Every outlet of Beauty in The Pot also has staff trained in balloon sculpting to help entertain kids alongside the many children’s toys on offer… woohoo!

57. Pizza Express
British export Pizza Express is a fantastico place to get a pizza fix with its Piccolo kids’ menu. The HoneyKids mum crew had a top night at Pizza Express, and it was so good that we may, or may not, have been back a few times since… The colouring pencils and activity sheets distract little hands in the four minutes it takes to cook the pizzas to perfection. And did we mention the dough balls? We’d go there for these little garlicky balls of heaven alone.

Oh yeh, and there’s even a play area – winner!

59. Cafe Melba
We’ve long been massive fans of this corker of a kid-friendly restaurant that is Cafe Melba. Both branches in the East and West have really got it all in terms of delicious Australasian fusion grub and a gigantic lawn (with a bouncy castle on weekends). Plus, the East location has Goodman Arts Centre right around the corner – score! At Mediapolis, you’ll also find a sweeping area perfect for family fun, scooting and loads of games for the kids. Think: soccer balls and nets, a basketball ring, frisbees, and life-sized wooden noughts and crosses board! Food-wise, our pick is the parma ham and rocket wood-oven pizza, washed down with a lime frozen daiquiri. Refreshing! Ask about the Kids’ Club Card, which involves some tasty perks… And pssst, on Mondays and Tuesdays, kids eat free!
