4 Best Luxury Buffets in Singapore

One of the undisputed heavyweight champions of the international buffet scene in Singapore, The Line at the world’s first ever Shangri-La hotel presents an awe-inspiring array of food. Though a long-used cliché, to describe The Line as a ‘culinary adventure’ would be a completely justifiable term.

You can sample your way through 16 sections, dedicated to local and international delights including Chinese dim sum, a meat carvery, Indian/Middle Eastern, fresh seafood bar, Japanese, Italian, salads, desserts and drinks. All ‘kitchen’ stations feature their own designated chefs, who prepare the food right in front of you too.

Melt – The World Cafe is famous throughout town and doesn’t disappoint in the variety of ingredients it serves up, including everything from local Singaporean noodles and Malaysian satay, to imported seafood, grilled meat, freshly-made pastas and bread and a long list of desserts and cheeses for when you’ve almost run out of room.

Melt, which can be found at the stunning Mandarin Oriental Hotel, also has its own outdoor BBQ section, which really puts this buffet into a different league compared to others in Singapore.

The 400-seater Mezza9 restaurant at Singapore’s Grand Hyatt Hotel offers one of the smartest Sunday buffets in town. While this trendy spot, just off Orchard Road, is open every day for lunch and dinner (a la carte only), it’s their boozy Sunday Brunch that makes our list of the best buffets in Singapore. Watch the chefs all grill, steam, stir fry, and delicately prepare a range of quality ingredients from around the world.

The buffet at Park Royal’s impressive Plaza Brassiere has become synonymous across Singapore for its quality selection of premium seafood, which comes both cold and raw or cooked and warm. Several live cooking stations dot the restaurants, with diners able to pick out their fish, crab, lobster or any other type of crustation that takes their fancy.

You can choose how you want your catch to be cooked and which sauces you want. Don’t forget to look out for Plaza Brassiere’s featured themed buffets, which in the past have included crab festivals as well as massive meat carveries.
