We've got the ultimate guide to kid-friendly restaurants and cafes in Singapore – so sit back and enjoy a meal while the tiny humans play!
We’ve given you the lowdown on the best pizza restaurants in Singapore, the hottest restaurants for a romantic date, and where kids eat free. But if you’ve ever been given a dirty look when your little darling has had a full-scale meltdown at a supposedly kid-friendly cafe, you know what we mean when we say family-friendly restaurants can be a beacon of light for parents who enjoy eating out with – shock horror – their kids.
So parents, here we bring you the best kid-friendly restaurants across the length and breadth of Singapore: the child-tolerant places where parents can finish a good hot meal in (relative) peace…
Our favourite kid-friendly cafes and restaurants
1. Bayswater Kitchen

Now, this is how you do a relaxing Sunday brunch by the water in Singapore. Bayswater Kitchen, overlooking the Marina at Keppel Bay, brings on instant weekend vibes. This family restaurant boasts a light and bright space, breezy outdoor dining area and cool nautical styling. What makes it a kid-friendly restaurant? A great kids’ menu for the under-12s with some seriously good fish and chips ($14), then foosball and a ping-pong table! And for us parents, the Brunch by the Bay menu serves up a whole lotta goodness. It all calls for a glass of rosé or jug of Pimm’s while you kick back and enjoy the live jazz that’s sometimes on offer. And after that long lunch, the kiddos can scoot along the marina. This is as laidback as it gets, folks.
Where: 2 Keppel Bay Vista, Singapore 098382
2. Tiong Bahru Bakery Safari

Tiong Bahru Bakery Safari is our new fave kid-friendly destination cafe in Singapore. All thanks to the outdoor playground, plenty of jungle greenery to explore and an edible garden to get busy in. Add to that bunnies, chickens and plenty of great eats and this place was made for families. You can tuck into a menu packed with healthy dishes made from fruits and herbs harvested straight from the on-site garden. Or nibble on some cheeky pastries and cakes. We paid it a little visit with our own troopers; check out our full review!
Where: 130E Minden Rd, Singapore 248819
3. Ola Beach Club


Brunch on the beach with a pool and sand between your toes? Yes, yes and yes to that… only at Ola Beach Club! This big player in Singapore’s beach club scene is super family-friendly – we’re talking nursing room, nappy-changing facilities, toddler-sized kid-friendly tables and a playpen for the littlies. We love the modern Hawaiian menu, where the children can tuck into burgers and an amazing grilled chicken. Grown-ups, of course, should enjoy the fab tiki cocktails by that pool. Check out our full review of Ola Beach Club and get over to Sentosa now.
Where: 46 Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa, Singapore 099005
4. Summerlong


We road-tested this relaxed kid-friendly restaurant for weekend brunch, and we’re totally digging its relaxed beachy vibe. Brought to us by the team behind Neon Pigeon (which unfortunately has now closed) and Fat Prince in Singapore, we were expecting big things from Summerlong (including exceptional cocktails). We weren’t disappointed with its good coffee, super-fresh salad counter and interesting ‘Little Pelicans’ menu. The best part of the dining experience is the old-school soft-serve ice-cream station with toppings galore (dairy-free options available). We’ll be back with and without the kids, for sure!
Where: The Quayside #01-04, 60 Robertson Quay, Singapore 238252
5. Potato Head
If, like us, you usually head straight to the rooftop bar, you probably didn’t know that Singapore’s Potato Head branch has an amazing kid-friendly space on its second floor. Expect the same whimsically painted walls and sculptures, but throw in some fun little burgers on legs, brightly coloured bunting and high chairs, and you’ve got your new weekend hangout with the kids. Check out its brilliant brunch menu: it’ll be hard to tear the kids away from the Dizzy Rascal kids’ burger and a milkshake. We love this joint!
Where: 36 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089143
6. Wildseed Cafe
Head on over to Seletar to check out Wildseed, the chilled-out kid-friendly cafe and restaurant below colonial-style stunner Summerhouse. This is where parents in-the-know are hanging out on Sunday mornings for coffee, pastry and lovely live music in Singapore. The best bit? There’s an awesome plane-themed playground right next door, where the kids can burn off some energy after brunch or hit the swings! Tip: book early to snap up a spot in the air-conditioned room, but even if you’re planning on dropping in, there’s plenty of seating! There’s also a branch at Alkaff Mansion in Telok Blangah Hill Park: great if you’ve walked the Southern Ridges.
Where: Level 2, 3 Park Lane, Seletar Aerospace Park, Singapore 798387
7. Open Farm Community


Where: 130E Minden Road, Singapore 248819
8. Cafe Melba


Where: 90 Goodman Road, Goodman Arts Centre, Block N#01-56, Singapore 439053, and Mediapolis, 1 Stars Avenue, #03-01, Singapore 138507
9. Pizza Express
British export Pizza Express is a fantastico place to get a pizza fix with its Piccolo kids’ menu ($12 for pizza/pasta, drink and dessert). 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.
Where: Various locations at Duo Galleria, Marina One, Century Square, Holland Village, Jewel Changi Airport and Scotts Square.
10. Riders Cafe
If you’ve got a little one with a penchant for furry friends of the equestrian variety, then kid-friendly cafe Riders Cafe is for you. Chow down on contemporary comfort food on the colonial black and white verandah, and then head down for a look at the horses. On many a weekend, we often gave in to the kids’ demand for a pony ride…
Where: 51 Fairways Drive, Singapore 286965
11. Plank Sourdough Pizza


Where: Various locations at Dempsey Hill, Namly Estate, Eng Kong Park, Serangoon Garden and Swan Lake.
12. Flock Cafe
If you’re a bit like us and are loving Tiong Bahru right now, then you’ll be right at home at the cool family-friendly Flock Cafe. It’s definitely more of a breakfast and coffee kinda joint than a kid-friendly restaurant, but with menu highlights such as the cheeky poached eggs with braised pork cheek, hollandaise sauce and brioche, you’d be crazy not to give it a whirl. Try the healthy, fresh juices for the kids, too.
Where: 78 Moh Guan Terrace #01-25, Singapore 162078
13. Coastes


A gem on Sentosa’s white sands of Siloso Beach, Coastes is the ultimate laid-back beachfront family-friendly restaurant/bar. There’s just something about enjoying a tipple and a simple meal with your toes in the sand. Your little ones will while away the hours building sandcastles right next to your table as you enjoy the sunset with an icy beverage in hand. Family restaurant perfection, we say!
Where: 50 Siloso Beach Walk, Singapore 099000
14. Boomarang
Not only does kid-friendly restaurant Boomarang serve good, honest Aussie food, but the kids’ menu is printed on a colouring-in sheet, too. The restaurant’s massive frontage means that it’s super roomy (pram parking is a doddle), and you’ll easily score a table outside with a view of the river. Make sure to bring your scooters for your kids to burn up all that excess energy. And if he absolutely must, hubby can catch the footy on the big screen. Yup, super child-friendly!
Where: 60 Robertson Quay, #01-15 The Quayside, Singapore 238252; Boat Quay, 52 Circular Road, Singapore 049407
15. Huber’s Bistro
Where: 22 Dempsey Road, Singapore 249679
16. Jamie’s Italian
True to his roots as the father of good kids’ nutrition, the family-friendly Jamie’s Italian at Forum has an impressively wholesome yet appealing menu for the little people: think fish of the day in a bag, happy chicken lollipops and even a mini picnic. Yep, it’s the perfect kid-friendly restaurant for us folks living in Singapore! Kids are the VIPs here, and the staff know just how to take care of them with activity packs at the ready. We think the menu, a retro viewfinder with pictures of the kids’ menu items, is the coolest thing ever. Needless to say, parents will also be more than happy with the fantastic Italian fare. Kids will rave about the old-school view-masters, stickers, crayons and paper-tainment.
Where: The Forum, 583 Orchard Road #01-01/04 Forum, Singapore 238884
17. Kith Cafe
Where: Various locations
18. Valle
Okay people, we’ve decided it’s time to let you in on one of Singapore’s little-known secrets – the kid-friendly Valle bar and restaurant. It’s a no-frills outdoor casual spot for families of all ages. There are many reasons that it is absolutely brilliant: a) it serves skinny pizza and bar food like nuclear buffalo wings and fries; b) it has a craft beer, wine and cider menu to die for; c) you can order from neighbouring Esarn Thai restaurant and Poulet Vous Rotisserie direct to your table; d) your kids have plenty of flat scooting space and e) kids can (unofficially) play downstairs at the condo playground. Family-friendly restaurant love, right here.
Where: 5 Ridgewood Close Unit G6, Singapore 276696
19. Picotin Express


Where: Champions Golf Course, 60 Fairways Drive, Singapore 286966, and 382 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427622
20. Da Paolo Pizza Bar
Arguably dishing up the best pizza on the Little Red Dot, you can’t go past kid-friendly Italian restaurant Da Paolo Pizza Bar for your family feast. The gorgeous little strip of restos along with Jalan Merah Saga in Chip Bee Gardens all afford exquisite outdoor shaded space, and the pet store next door is always entertaining. Extract good behaviour with the promise of a stroll down to the Daily Scoop ice-cream joint, post-dinner.
Where: 44 Jalan Merah Saga, #01-46, Singapore 278116

Where: 200 Netheravon Road, Singapore 508529
25. Super Loco
Super Loco is our top family restaurant spot in Robertson Quay. The outdoor tables populated by Bugaboos and kids zipping around on scooters are a good sign, but settle into this bright and cheery brunch spot on a weekend and you’ll see why it’s such a hit. We love the funky decor, abundance of high chairs and brilliant brunch menu that includes super smoothies and treats for kids including ham and cheese enchiladas and pineapple crepes. Grown-ups can tuck into monster huevos rancheros and a cheeky sparkling sangria. Hot tip: weekend brunch is from 10am – 3.30pm. No bookings for brunch, but we’ve never had to wait long for a table. Kids love running across the brightly coloured Art Bridge after brunch – join the chase to work off those Mexican desserts!

26. Trapizza
Where: Shangri-La Sentosa, 10 Siloso Walk, Singapore 099538
27. SandBank
Lamenting the loss of The Bank Bar + Bistro? SandBank, its little sister family restaurant is still open at Parkland Green. The 15m plunge pool makes this seaside diner a definite hit with the kids. In between bites of crispy bacon and hash browns from the weekend breakfast buffet, the tots can dip their toes into the 0.5m pool while the bigger kids can have a splash in the deeper pool. There’s even a shower area just around the corner for them to scrub up. If you’re having trouble prying them from the pool, we suggest bribing them with a trip to the beach! (Although the husband might have a bit more trouble ungluing his eyes from the three TV screens…)
Where: 920 East Coast Parkway, #01-28/32 Parkland Green, Singapore 449875
28. The Living Cafe
If you’re on the hunt for super-healthy grub for your active kiddos, give kid-friendly cafe The Living Cafe in Bukit Timah a go. Think raw, wholewheat, sugar-free, gluten-free goodness. It’s all very yummy – even for us mere mortals yet to jump on the health-food bandwagon. And the cafe’s fit-out is as light and breezy as you’ll feel when you leave…
Where: 779 Bukit Timah Rd, Singapore 269758
29. The Boiler @ Howard Road
Family-friendly restaurant The Boiler is home to some seriously delish Louisiana-style seafood. Come hungry and tuck into an authentic Cajun seafood boil with seasonal crab, prawns, mussels, clams and lobsters served in a bag with your sauce of choice. It’s served with corn on the cob and bread rolls, but if you’re still hungry, there are add-ons like smoked sausages, sweet pearl corn and even buttered rice for that extra bit of yum. Don’t worry, kids won’t be left out of the seafood madness: they’ll be busying digging into crispy fish and chips while the stellar staff make them feel right at home.
Where: 18 Howard Road, #01-06 Novelty Bizcentre, Singapore 369585
30. Flutes
Take a break from museum-hopping and head to Flutes at the National Museum for some kid-friendly fine dining. There’s a great kids’ menu (and amazing staff who have been known to take the children off our hands for a quick minute or five so we could eat in peace). There’s even an escalator behind the museum to take you to straight to Fort Canning to burn off all those calories with some after-lunch adventures.
Where: 93 Stamford Road, #01-02, National Museum of Singapore, Singapore 178897
31. Camp Kilo Charcoal Club at Kallang


If you’re craving a genuine outdoor BBQ, kid-friendly restaurant Camp Kilo is where the party’s at. Kick back at this chill roast joint by the Kallang river with a beer in hand, a platter of roast meat and a DJ. This outdoor joint welcomes people of all ages as well as pets. It also holds weekly events, including vegan day out, as well as Camp Kido, which is made especially for little campers – think plenty of games, activities and workshops to keep them entertained. Talk about an easy family weekend winner!

34. FOC Sentosa


If boozy brunches are your thing, head over to FOC Sentosa for a sun-dappled Spanish feast with the fam – this branch is super family-friendly! The kids will enjoy building sandcastles on Tanjong Beach and jumping in the pool after. The sangria can’t be beat and don’t get us started on the delish patatas bravas and croquetas de jamon – yum! If your kids aren’t fans of paella or tapas, there’s a fish and chips option and a chicken sandwich too!
Where: 110 Tanjong Beach Walk, Singapore

Where: Various locations
36. Beauty In The Pot

37. Ocean Restaurant
Got big fans of all things under the sea? If you’re looking for an aquarium themed treat for the littlies this lunchtime, book a table at Ocean Restaurant in Resorts World Sentosa. The kids are going to lose it when they realise it’s dining alongside their manta ray mates. And that’s before they’ve seen the kid’s menu, complete with Mermaid Ice Cream Sundae! Leaving could be tricky!
Where: Ocean Restaurant, Equarius Hotel, Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore 098136
38. Food for Tots


We love a day out at Singapore Botanic Gardens, and the kids always make a beeline for the fabulous Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden. If you need a snack post exploring, then Food for Tots is just the ticket directly outside. It’s true to its name here, with an incredible, and extensive, kids’ menu. There’s everything from delicious all-day brunch options, right through to hearty mains. The DIY Beef Burger is always a hit. We can also vouch for the Chicken Avocado Burger for the grown-ups too! Have it on your radar for your next visit.

40. The Pantry @ COMO Dempsey

41. The Pipe District


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 like 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?!
Where: The Pipe District, Science Park II, 43 Science Park Rd, #01-09, Singapore 117408
42. Bee’s Knees at The Garage


After the perfect fam-friendly hideaway in Singapore Botanic Gardens? Hotfoot it to the Bee’s Knees at The Garage. This laid-back (and pet-friendly, yay!) garden café is the perfect spot to rest your legs post-walk. Kids are sorted with the dedicated children’s menu, with all the classics including Bolognese (both chicken and beef), and Fish & Chips!
Where: Bee’s Knees at The Garage, 50 Cluny Park Road, Level 1, Cluny Park Gate, Singapore 257488
43. Famous JB 101 Firewokz
What’s that? Another fam-friendly restaurant for the Westies? And it’s back in that unlikely location of the Singapore Science Park 2 alongside our other fave, The Pipe District, who knew?! Famous JB 101 Firewokz offers up noodles and rice dishes, as well as delicious seafood, with options for all the fam. It’s also got a dedicated area for the kids, filled with toys. Add in the year-round Christmas decs (random – but another plus for the kids in our book). If that wasn’t enough, there are even old school Tom & Jerry cartoons on repeat and art kits for sale. Phew, best make a day of it!
Where: Famous JB 101 Firewokz, Science Park II, 45 Science Park Rd, Sparkle #01-03/04, Singapore 117407 (a short walk from Haw Par Villa MRT)
