As the holiday season approaches, it brings another chance to enjoy some of the most indulgent Christmas dinners in Singapore with family and friends. This time, some of the best hotels and restaurants on the island are bringing out their A-game to cook up meals that you and your loved ones are sure to remember. 

Best meals for a great Christmas dinner in Singapore

01 • Orchard Hotel

Home to the Orchard Cafe, Hua Ting Restaurant, and Bar Intermezzo, Orchard Hotel has food to satisfy just about any craving you could have. This holiday season, they’re going all out, so you’ll be in good hands no matter which of these places you dine at.

First up, the Orchard Cafe’s Festive Flaming Buffet, which is halal certified, runs until 31 December 2024. Here, you can enjoy Boston Lobster, Snow Crab, some bittersweet Valrhona Guanaja Chocolate Crispy Log Cake, and Slow-Roasted Wagyu Rump. Is anyone else salivating yet? For an even better experience, come down on weekday evenings for live music and meet-and-greets with Santa.

If you want a festive Chinese dinner, Hua Ting Restaurant has a holiday set menu until 1 January 2025. Get ready for a multi-course meal featuring Pan-seared Hokkaido Scallops with Crab Roe and an especially rich Steamed Boston Lobster, among other delectable menu items. Be sure to bring friends, as the set menus serve groups of up to 10.

Last but not least, if you’re looking for something to keep your taste buds occupied in between Christmas meals, Bar Intermezzo has a Festive High Tea set until 1 January 2025. Although the treats run a little smaller, they’re delicious all the same. Our favourite is the super-nutty and almost candy-like Butternut Squash Croquette.

02 • Nobu Singapore

Just because it’s the festive season doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some good Japanese fusion cuisine. As you gaze at the restaurant’s serene outdoor garden, enjoy a Christmas Dinner Omakaze menu, which takes you through a tightly-curated flavour journey. We don’t wanna spoil the details, but you should know that the meal climaxes in a serving of Josper Charcoal-Grilled F1 Japanese Beef — a cut that’s been bred and cooked for robust flavour and exceptional marbling.

Remember to book quickly because you’ll only have 24 and 25 December 2024 to enjoy this special Christmas dinner in Singapore!

Have you ever had a Turducken? It’s an elaborate dish consisting of a duck stuffed into a chicken that’s stuffed into a turkey. Each bite is a blend of all 3 types of meat and gives a completely unique flavour you’ll have to taste to believe.

But what if we told you that it’s not even the most showstopping dish at Peppermint? If you’re intrigued by this, make sure to visit their Festive Feast buffet before January 1, 2025. Don’t miss out on the highlight of the menu — the Salt Meringue Baked Festive Turkey. This dish offers a delightful combination of salty and aromatic flavors, complemented by wonderfully contrasting textures.

07 • Atrium Restaurant (halal)

Christmas goes international at Atrium. Until 1 January 2025, they’ll be serving up a buffet with a generous mix of local and international dishes. For instance, you won’t find many Christmas dinners in Singapore that pair Beef Wellington with Bingsu.

To keep the menu fresh, there’s a rotating lineup of dishes available every day. Lucky diners will have an opportunity to feast on Roast Yangnyeom Turkey, a sweet-and-sour Korean spin on the classic dish with a glaze finish that leaves you wanting more.

From 24 to 25 December 2024, they’re breaking out their best to serve up an expansive buffet featuring 10 live station offerings and a wide charcuterie selection. If you enjoy a good food coma, then get your fill of Oven Roasted Tom Turkey, which is way more flavourful and fragrant than ordinary roasted turkey.
