The best Sunday roasts in Singapore
1. The English House
Best for: a classic British Sunday roast with all the trimmings
We’re putting it out there: we kinda have a thing for British culinary bad boy Marco Pierre White. Which is why when we heard about him opening a restaurant here in Singapore, we were fangirling with glee. Cue us booking into The English House quicksmart. And boy, are we glad we did. Succulent pork belly with crispy crackling, melt-in-the-mouth beef centre cut fillet, fluffy Yorkshire puds, pigs in blankets (bacon-wrapped chipolatas) and perfectly seasoned veggie sides… we were in Sunday lunch bliss. As for the kids, they wolfed down mac ‘n’ cheese and the spaghetti, too (we tried them both and they were so tasty!). Kids also eat their main course for free with each paying adult. On to dessert: save room for an epic Eton mess that had us in an Instagram flutter. All together now: nommmm…
Where: The English House, 28 Mohamed Sultan Road, Singapore 238972
2. Carnaby
Best for: modern British Sunday roasts by the river
If you’re after a classic Sunday roast with a modern twist in Singapore, Carnaby deserves a spot on your list. Helmed by Chef Adam Penney, this modern British diner at Robertson Quay serves everything you’d expect from a proper British Sunday lunch. Think perfectly roasted meats, crisp roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, rich gravy and seasonal vegetables. Beyond the roast, they’re also well-loved for their fish and chips and hearty pies. We love the relaxed riverside setting, perfect for a leisurely family lunch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Don’t forget to reserve ahead of time!
Where: Carnaby, The Quayside, 60 Robertson Quay #01-01, Singapore 238252
3. LeVeL33
Best for: Sunday roast with skyline views
Fancy a cracker of a Sunday roast with a stunner view to go with it? If you like a side of the skyline with your weekend lunch, then head to LeVeL33. Here, from 11.30am to 3.30pm, you can choose from a selection of roasts (there’s a free-flow option too if you’re thirsty!) while admiring one of the best views of Singapore’s Marina Bay. Did you know it’s also the world’s highest urban microbrewery? Another reason to put this contemporary eaterie on your dining out bucket list, we say. Kids not fussed on Sunday roasts? (Outrage!) Not a problem. The kids’ menu features classics such as fish and chips, spag bol and heaps more.
Where: LeVeL33, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, 8 Marina Boulevard #33-01, Singapore 018981
4. Muddy Murphy’s
Best for: casual pub-style Sunday lunch
Irish pub Muddy Murphy’s Sunday lunch offering is cheap and cheerful – we reckon it was great value for either the two- or three-course roast menu. Regardless, it hit the roast dinner spot and we were stuffed at the end of it all! When we visited, there was a sporting event screening on the numerous TV screens around the place, and it was packed to the rafters. That could be a turn on or a turn-off depending on your sports tolerance! We happily sat outside where our fam of four could have a little more breathing space, and that was totally fine with us. Top marks for staff friendliness – everyone we spoke to was five-star fabulous.
Where: Muddy Murphy’s, 442 Orchard Road #01-02 to #01-05, Claymore Connect, Singapore 238879
5. Cafe Melba
Best for: kid-friendly weekend dining
Yes, yes, we’re talking about this place AGAIN! Cafe Melba already features on our list of top kid-friendly restaurants in Singapore and has a fab kids eat free deal. And after we’d tucked into its roast beef, we can’t help but give it another shoutout for your next Sunday lunch consideration! Top marks for the Yorkshire, but we could’ve done with more roasties. Regardless, it was still all kinds of yum! Our advice? Order early (from 11am) – it sells out in lightning speed! Our tip? It’s also available on Saturdays and public holidays, so you’ve got even more opportunities to tuck in!
Where: Cafe Melba, Goodman Arts Centre, and Mediapolis
6. Lawry’s The Prime Rib
Best for: special occasion prime rib
One word: nom. The HoneyKids team tried Lawry’s out and we didn’t leave disappointed. The prime rib is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and it comes with creamy mashed potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Not only that, but the iconic whipped cream horseradish is so good, we could eat it on its own. Not to be overshadowed either is the spinning bowl salad to start, which is also included in the price. There’s also a pretty great kids’ menu for little ones under 12 ($39) and it includes a free gift, too. Happy families all around.
Where: Lawry’s The Prime Rib, Mandarin Gallery, 333A Orchard Road #04-01/31, Singapore 238897
7. Gordon Grill
Best for: a polished hotel roast lunch
Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, Gordon Grill over at Goodwood Park Hotel serves a corker of a roast: succulent US prime beef ribeye and crispy yet fluffy Yorkies. There’s a choice between the three- or four-course set menu and the sitting is from 12–2.30pm. Great for older kids who’ll appreciate the setting and the treat factor. Go hungry, we say.
Where: Gordon Grill, Goodwood Park Hotel, 22 Scotts Road, Singapore 228221
8. Dopo Teatro
Best for: Italian-style weekend roast
Looking for a Sunday roast with an Italian twist? Then pop on over to Dopo Teatro, where it has taken the traditional meal up a notch for a hearty dining experience. The Dopo Signature Porchetta Slab will bring you back to the streets of Italy with its aroma of spices. Want something juicy and flavourful? Order the Pepe Rosa Crusted Ribeye Roast Tagliata – you won’t regret it! Kids are not forgotten here too: we’re told the Baked Ziti with mozzarella and tomatoes and Chicken Milanese are a hit with the under-12s.
Where: Dopo Teatro, Esplanade Mall, 8 Raffles Avenue #01-11, Singapore 039802
9. All Things Delicious
Best for: halal-certified Sunday roast and family sharing
Looking for a halal-certified Sunday roast in Singapore? All Things Delicious serves up a weekend roast menu with family-friendly portions, house-made sauces and sides, and hearty sharing platters. It’s a good one to bookmark if you’re planning a relaxed Bugis lunch with the crew, especially if you’re dining with mixed dietary needs. Just note that the Sunday roast menu is available on weekends only, so book ahead before rounding everyone up.
Where: All Things Delicious, 34 Arab Street #01-01, Singapore 199733
10. Flutes
Best for: post-museum Sunday lunch
Flutes has been the star of many a HoneyKids staffer date night in the past. So great news all around that it serves Sunday roasts, too! And those Yorkshire puddings look so good, you know your kids are going to wolf it down . However, just note that on days when it’s hosting a wedding event at the restaurant, it will only serve the brunch a la carte menu instead. If you can’t face missing out on your roast beef et al, we recommend that you call ahead to check the availability of the roast lunch!
Where: Flutes, 120 Beach Road #01-02, Midtown House, Singapore 189769
11. Wolfgang’s Steakhouse
Best for: indulgent roast beef for two
The original Wolfgang’s Steakhouse opened on New York City’s Park Avenue in 2004 and was such a success that there are now 19 locations worldwide. Lucky for you, one of them is here in the Lion City. And even luckier for you, there’s a London-inspired Sunday roast as part of the weekend brunch menu! The Roast For Two includes a salad and soup of the day, followed by the signature roasted prime rib served with the quintessential Yorkshire puddings. As for the all-important sides, you’ll get treated to a choice of two options including fries, mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and creamed spinach. Maybe leave the kids at home for this one so you won’t be forced to share…
Where: Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay, 1 Nanson Road #02-01, Singapore 238909
12. The British Club
Best for: club members and guests
Word of advice: you have to be a club member or guest of a member to enjoy this Sunday roast, but we have it on good authority that’s it a goodie!
Where: The British Club, 73 Bukit Tinggi Road, Singapore 289761
