Food plays a crucial role in how families remember their holiday. But the meals themselves aren’t the only thing that plays into it. The entire experience of eating in a new location is equally as important. Singapore is one of the most contrasting cities in the world; from historical and natural sites to massive infrastructure and modern architecture, all concentrated in the best way possible on a tiny island. Being such a multicultural location in South East Asia makes it easy for Singapore to sweep you right off your feet with its immense variety in finger-licking good dishes. Therefore, in order to help you remember your holiday in the Little Red Dot through food, we thought we’d provide you with a list of the best kid friendly restaurants in Singapore. Here they are!

2. Ola Beach Club
Ola Beach Club is located in one of Singapore’s best areas for families, Sentosa. This beach club is perfect to spend the entire day in because besides being an excellent restaurant, it is indeed a beach club.

The beach, of course, is right in front of the club which you can admire from the sunbeds. However, there is also a pool if you prefer to take a dip in freshwater, or keep a closer eye on the kids.

Their menu mirrors their philosophy well – supportive of ethically sourced and health-conscious nutrition.
Besides its amazing food, TBB has incredible outdoor facilities that will keep your kids busy and entertained. They have a great ‘edible garden’ from which many of their veggies and spices come from, as well as bunnies and chickens children love saying hello to.

4. Slappy Cakes
Slappy Cakes is probably one of the most kid friendly restaurants in Singapore. Not only is it delicious, but it’s a fun way to encourage your children to unleash their creativity by creating their own pancakes. We find it a particularly good spot to come to for breakfast.
In the middle of your table, you’ll find a hot pan, five different batters, and all kinds of fixings toppings. Then you’re good to go! Feel free to create edible drawings, letters or any other designs that you can think of. They’re very well equipped with ingredients that you wouldn’t even expect; such as blue cheese, dried pineapple, shredded coconut, and even healthier options like whole-grain batter.
If you prefer to have your breakfast done for you, you can of course order something from their well-rounded menu. There are many great options besides pancakes as well, like yogurt and fruit bowls.

5. Timbre@Switch
This is quite an unexpected choice. You wouldn’t expect it to be one of the best kid friendly restaurants in Singapore at first glance. This place is a favourite among the locals, especially young professionals, and artists. They constantly have live music bands scheduled for social nights, gourmet food, and an incredible variety of drinks at the bar. Pretty much, it looks like the ideal location for parents to come on a date night without the kids.
But Timbre makes sure to expand its fun and lighthearted brand to every member of the family, making it one of the best child friendly restaurants in Singapore. Timbre@Switch opens its doors from 11 am with an easy to love gourmet menu for lunchtime. From around 7:00 pm, the restaurant hosts incredible gigs featuring Singapore’s talented upcoming artists.

7. Señor Taco Chijmes
When has Mexican cuisine ever failed you? Señor Taco is not one of the greatest kid friendly restaurants in Singapore for its incredible food. The thought that’s been given to the design and atmosphere of the restaurant (as well as the food) is also something that will take your experience to a whole other level.
They keep Mexican street culture very close in mind. The walls are decorated with neon signs, and the tacos are authentic as they can be. In this restaurant, you can discover more of the magical Mexican gastronomy by trying out new dishes you normally wouldn’t in other stereotypical Mexican restaurants.
The kids can enjoy themselves by engaging in the planned activities for them every Sunday at brunch. Their brunch menu is quite new actually but is a huge success among children. Make sure to come here for birthdays! They have piñatas available.

For health-focused families, Carrotsticks and Cravings will definitely make an impression as one of the most well-thought-out family friendly restaurants in Singapore. Each dish is packed with a great deal of highly green and nutritious ingredients. We strongly recommend you to check out this restaurant for breakfast or brunch! They have a wide variety of smoothies and freshly-squeezed juices.
Their kids’ menu is very successful. Of course, you can expect it to be very healthy and creatively put together with the help of vegan ingredients like hummus. Don’t worry, there are options for all tastes as well, like ham and cheese toasties and smashed avocado toast. All kids’ meals are accompanied by fruit and smoothies, so your child will be ready and full of energy for a day of activities.

The Botanical Gardens are a breathtaking location to visit on this island alone. But the opportunity to eat among this incredible nature and unique plant species is even better.
Besides being one of the best family friendly restaurants in Singapore, The Halia is perfect when parents are looking for a grown-up treat. Its menu is sophisticated using only the best ingredients to come up with delicious dishes. In the meantime, the kids’ menu has items that are a lot more attuned to what children like the most – while remaining just a hint luxurious.

10. Open Farm Community
The island’s Open Farm Community is not only one of the top ten family friendly restaurants in Singapore, but it’s also what people like to think of as a fun learning hub. It provides a space for children to connect with nature and gardening. With the restaurant’s vegetables growing just in their garden, children can learn all about their farm-to-table philosophy and why it’s so important to do it. Their menu is healthy and mirrors their goal of wanting to promote a healthy and animal-loving lifestyle.

Bonus! – Old Airport Road Food Court
How about a bonus suggestion for another child friendly restaurant in Singapore? The Old Airport Road Food Court is one of the most popular food courts in the islands. There is a wide range of numerous food stalls to choose from, mainly specializing in Asian and Singaporean cuisine. We think this type of place is very convenient and practical in pleasing every member of the family. Everyone will be able to select different places from where to eat but will manage to eat it all together in one place.
