5 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Weekend brunch at Singapore's breakfast restaurants is a genuine competitive sport, and the venues on this page have collected more than 21,500 Google reviews fighting for a table. Ratings run from 4.4 to 4.7, and the reviews themselves tell a consistent story: people are booking ahead, showing up hungry, and largely walking away full. The real differences are in setting and price, from a heritage shophouse cafe to a Dempsey Hill garden restaurant with its own cheese room.

Short answer: My Awesome Cafe in a Telok Ayer shophouse is the most-reviewed breakfast spot in Singapore (4.7 stars across 7,895 reviews), known for its brunch platters and gluten-free menu. Merci Marcel Orchard (4.7, 4,098 reviews) is the French-leaning pick for a lively weekend brunch. Reviewers commonly report paying $30 to $50 per person, though some dinner visits ran well over $100.

Watch: 5 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the restaurant’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many diners have rated it, ranked against the other breakfast spots on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from nearly 8,000 reviewers carries more weight than the same score from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does breakfast or brunch cost in Singapore? (2026)

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these restaurants?

We started from breakfast and brunch restaurants in Singapore with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these restaurants take reservations?

Most of them do, and reviewers across several of these restaurants specifically recommend booking ahead for weekend brunch, when queues and wait times are longest.

How much should I expect to pay for brunch in Singapore?

Based on diner-reported figures on Google, expect roughly $20 to $50 per person for a typical brunch, with some dinner visits running higher. See the cost table above and always check current menu prices with the restaurant.

The bottom line

My Awesome Cafe is the safe default for most people, with the deepest review base, big portions and a genuine gluten-free menu, while Merci Marcel Orchard is the pick for a more French-leaning weekend brunch. Book ahead wherever you go, especially on weekends.
