1. Altro Zafferano
Your CBD lunch dates just got an upgrade with lunch sets at Altro Zafferano. Perched on the 43rd floor of Ocean Financial Centre, this Italian restaurant in Singapore serves up contemporary Italian cuisine with sprawling city views. Take a seat and soak in the gorgeous views of Marina Bay, while savouring delicacies created by head chef Federico Shiraldi. Every dish offers a fresh take on Italian cuisine, blending modern flavours with a touch of tradition.
The weekday lunch sets offer great bang for your buck. The two-course set (from $58++) includes a choice of a starter and a main course. Begin with premium starters like Apulian burrata and pan-seared Hokkaido scallops, before filling up on hearty dishes such as house-made tagliatelle with black truffle, artisanal fusilloni with wagyu beef cheek, and pan-seared Atlantic cod. Have a sweet tooth? Go for the three-course option which includes a dessert, and a choice of coffee or tea. You’ll round off your daytime indulgence with housemade ice cream or a curated cheese selection.

2. Sushisamba
There’s lunch – and then there’s lunch 52 storeys up with a full sweep of Singapore’s skyline. We recently popped by Sushisamba, and it made our weekday feel wildly indulgent (in the best way). We lucked out with a seat facing Tanjong Pagar and settled in for the Vivo Business Lunch ($48++), which promises a three-course power meal in under an hour. But honestly? Take your time.
After a comforting bowl of miso soup, we opted for the wagyu beef tataki (+$5) to start – silky, savoury, and elevated with crispy quinoa and a bold truffle ponzu. We also tried the spicy sushi roll, which was surprisingly filling with its trio of tuna, white fish, and salmon, topped with a spicy kimchi sauce.
Midway through, our server nudged us (okay, convinced us) to try the Samba Taquitos platter (+$22). Zero regrets. These bite-sized, crispy tacos were packed with flavour – our favourites were the lobster with tartar and yuzu, and the yellowtail with white miso and lime.
For mains, we went with the Chilean sea bass (+$15). It leaned a little sweet for our liking, but the sushi roll (salmon, avocado, cucumber, spicy aji panca) made up for it. Just when we thought we were done, dessert arrived – mochi ice cream in chocolate and passion fruit. Light, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweet to cap things off.
Best for: A sky-high lunch with Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian flavours
Must-try dish: Wagyu beef tataki; spicy sushi roll; Chilean sea bass
Expect to spend: From $48++; add on $18++ for cocktails

3. Baia
This rooftop stunner at Esplanade wowed us when it first opened, and now it’s giving us another reason to visit: a weekday set lunch menu with coastal flair that is served till 5pm. That’s right, late lunchers, rejoice!
The three-course set lunch ($28++) rotates weekly, with dishes like creamy burrata cheese with avocado crostone and truffle dhukka, roasted seabream with grilled romaine and tomato acquapazza sauce, and grilled wagyu bavette with truffle jus and truffle fries. Top up $10 to enjoy your mid-day feast with a glass of wine or beer.

4. Ammakase
Modern Indian with Japanese technique? This isn’t your typical biryani-chicken curry combo. Ammakase puts a refined spin on recipes inspired by amma (meaning “mum” in Tamil), blending bold Indian flavours with French precision and Japanese elegance. We popped in during lunch, where the space buzzed with the office crowd. Pro tip: snag a seat at the chef’s table for front-row views of the action.
The business lunch runs omakase-style, with two, six or eight courses (from $39++), and no two menus are quite the same. We had the Chef’s Odyssey, an eight-course journey featuring a lobster entrée, a duck signature, and a choice of main (lamb, chicken, fish, or vegetarian). No beef or pork is served.
Standouts? A perfectly crisp potato croquette with curry dip, creamy avocado chaat, cured Japanese hibachi with mango chilli sorbet, grilled lobster in tamarind pulusu curry, and a satisfying biryani with lamb kofta. The menu rotates every two weeks, so just sit back and let the chef surprise you. Don’t forget to try the inventive cocktails!
Best for: Neo-Indian omakase with French finesse and Japanese flair

5. Sospiri
With all the Italian restaurants popping up in Singapore, it almost feels like we’re becoming experts in the cuisine. But have you tried Southern Italian nosh? Class is officially in session.
Sospiri dishes out rustic flavours from the south of Italy, all from a sleek rooftop perch at the heart of the CBD. Between the views, the interiors, and the stunning plates (yes, we noticed), it’s hard not to feel a little special. And judging by the bustling lunch crowd when we visited, we’re not the only ones who think so.
The three-course lunch set covers antipasti, main course, and dessert. One thing we genuinely appreciated was that only two dishes come with a supplement. Each day of the week offers a different menu, so you’ll always be in for a delicious surprise. Some highlights that caught our eye? Grilled blue fin tuna with eggplant and tomato coulis, and vegetarian-friendly orecchiette pasta with cime di rapa and datterini tomatoes.

6. Shinrai
Always wanted to try omakase restaurants in Singapore but not quite ready to splurge? Shinrai might be your sweet spot. This laid-back sushi-izakaya hybrid is the younger sibling of Sushi Yujo – aka the sleek, high-end omakase joint that built a quiet following.
The lunch sets (starting from $16.80) are seriously value-for-money and come with all the fixings – miso soup, salad, and the ultra-light signature cheesecake. We took a while to decide between the bara chirashi don loaded with sashimi cubes and ikura ($27.80), the classic yakiniku don ($26.80), or the aburi mentaiko salmon don ($22.80). Pro tip: bring a friend and share. Feeling fancy? There’s also a wagyu foie gras don ($52.80) that’s as indulgent as it sounds.
Best for: Casual sushi spot with omakase-level flair
Must-try dish: Bara chirashi don; wagyu foie gras don
Expect to spend: From $16.80
Lunch hours: Daily, 12pm – 2.30pm; reservations recommended

7. Burma Social
If you haven’t tried Burmese cuisine with a twist, this spot is a great place to start. Known for giving traditional recipes a modern, cheeky spin, the menu blends Southeast Asian comfort with dim sum classics and bao buns that pack a punch.
The executive lunch set is a sleeper hit – with options like four or six courses (from $38++ onwards). We were happily full with just the four-course menu. Start with the chef’s soup and a refreshing salad (try the tea leaf salad or tropical medley of mango and pineapple slaw). Starters include Shanghai-style braised pork belly, Burmese samosa curry bowl and flame-grilled prawns with Thai chilli jam.
For mains, you’ll love the Burmese massaman curry, though the Panang-style grilled sea bass with aromatic rice, and oh-noh-khouk swe (chicken coconut noodles) are strong contenders too. You can always top up with prawns or chicken if you’re feeling extra.
Best for: Modern Burmese flavours galore
Must-try dish: Burmese massaman curry; Panang-style grilled sea bass with aromatic rice
Expect to spend: From $38++
Lunch hours: Monday – Saturday, 11.30am – 3.00pm, make a reservation at Tras Street or East Coast

8. Saint Pierre
If you’ve ever wanted a taste of fine dining without committing to the full-blown dinner affair, lunch at this two Michelin-starred gem is your answer. Chef-owner Emmanuel Stroobant offers a refined set menu that’s perfect for a long, lavish lunch, especially since every table gets a gorgeous view of Marina Bay. (We spent over two hours luxuriating in the spectacular waterfront sights!)
Go for the three-course set at $198++ per person (starter, main, dessert) or linger longer with the four-course option at $228++ (first starter, second starter, main, dessert). What’s on the ever-changing sample menu? Think Manjimup marron with buttermilk and perilla to start, followed by the luxe likes of Brittany blue lobster with maitake and vin jaune (a $38 supplement) or Shizuoka king crab in a green curry-edamame twist. Mains are equally elegant – choose from Hyogo silver pomfret with white asparagus and saffron, Bresse chicken with butternut, or upgrade to Omi beef with green pea and sansho pepper (+$38).
End sweet with a Tulameen raspberry baba or the bold Araguani chocolate with almond and Szechuan peppercorn. Cheese lovers can add on the farmed cheese course for $38.
Best for: An exquisite two Michelin-starred lunch

9. HighHouse
We all know HighHouse brings the vibes after dark, but come by during the day and you’ll see it in a whole new light (literally). This sky-high stunner serves a weekday lunch menu that’s as impressive as the views.
Set lunch options start at $48++ for two courses and go up to $68++ for four, all spotlighting vibrant Pan-Asian flavours with a Pacific Rim twist. Cold and hot starters include the beef carpaccio drizzled with mustard (+$8), grilled Spanish octopus with chitose tomato and slow-cooked Australian lamb ribs.
Mains are just as tempting. You’ve got tomato beef cheek ragu pasta (+$8), Josper-grilled iberico pork collar (+$10) and braised lamb shank (+$18). Even the plant-based Massaman Thai curry hits the spot.
For dessert, the blackcurrant mousse and chocolate sponge is a standout, but if you’re more of a nutty-sweet fan, the triple citrus tart with yogurt ice cream seals the deal.
Best for: Lunch with modern Pan-Asian flavours and a side of altitude
Must-try dish: Beef carpaccio; braised lamb shank

10. Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen
Wear your stretchy pants and reject that 2pm meeting ‘cos this is the kind of lunch worth lingering over (we sure did!). Griglia’s open-fire Italian concept dials up the drama with a buzzy, wood-accented space that feels warm, social, and just a little bit indulgent.
Perfect for team lunches or one-on-one catchups (though we recommend the former), the menu leans into rustic Italian fare with a modern edge. Start with small plates like creamy burratina, scallop carpaccio, or a punchy beef tartare. Mains are generous and full of flavour, featuring tiger prawn fusilli with spicy ‘nduja, pappardelle with pork cheek and black truffle, and smoky Iberico pork collar straight off the grill. The beef striploin tagliata? A crowd-pleaser.
And yes, dessert is non-negotiable. The Sicilian cannoli, filled with ricotta and studded with chocolate, is the sweet finish your afternoon needs.
Best for: A value-for-money lunch that’ll leave you in a food coma

11. Caffe Fernet
There are many establishments around the Marina Bay area, but what makes Caffe Fernet a standout in our books is the consistently good food. Every time we visit, we’re never disappointed. And hey, the backdrop of Marina Bay Sands receives plus points.
Start with burrata topped with pistachio pesto, or go bold with tuna and hamachi crudo dressed in citrus vinaigrette. Mains range from indulgent cacio e pepe and tuna bolognese (+$6) to a luxe angus steak sirloin served with mashed potato and green pepper sauce (+$18).
And yes, dessert is worth it. Whether you go for the classic carrot cake, a classic tiramisu (+$3, includes a hit of dark rum), or the cherry blueberry crumble, you’ll be ending on a good kinda sugar high.

Must-try dish: Cacio e pepe; angus steak sirloin
Expect to spend: $40++ for a two-course lunch, $46 for a three-course lunch

12. Garibaldi Italian Restaurant and Bar
Garibaldi knows its way around Italian cuisine, and lucky for us, its signature lunch set makes fine dining feel downright approachable. Starters set the tone: think lamb arancici with a refreshing mint yogurt sauce, a clean-tasting green salad with white asparagus and borlotti beans, and a comforting white asparagus soup with garlic croutons. Or treat yourself to the creamy buffalo mozzarella with San Marzano tomatoes (a worthy +$10 splurge).
Mains are equally satisfying – take your pick from spinach ricotta tortellini, squid-ink spaghetti tossed in a spicy tomato sauce, and iberico pork ‘milanese’ with rucola salad. Seafood lovers, go luxe with the pan-fried barramundi, prawns and lobster broth (+$20).
End things on a sweet note with the dessert of the day or upgrade to an à la carte pick (+$10). A coffee or tea is included, because Garibaldi knows a good Italian lunch isn’t complete without it.

13. Bedrock Bar & Grill
Tucked away from the bustle of Orchard, Bedrock Grill is your lunchtime escape with serious West LA flair. The three-course set lunch (from $42) is a midday treat that feels indulgent, but you’ll leave with no regrets. Start strong with a velvety truffle mushroom soup or a char-grilled baby gem salad topped with heirloom tomatoes.
For mains, it’s a tough call between a juicy rib-eye ($58), tenderloin ($68), barramundi ($42) or fall-off-the-bone lamb ribs rice bowl ($48) – all grilled to perfection. Dessert doesn’t disappoint either: take your pick from the ice cream of the day, rich burnt cheesecake or sticky pudding.
Short on time? There’s a two-course option featuring crowd-pleasers like cheeseburgers ($32), fish and chips ($35), rosemary rice bowl ($32), along with a dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is typically included in an executive set lunch in Singapore?
An executive set lunch is a curated multi-course meal that caters to corporate lunch breaks. It typically includes a starter (usually a soup or salad), a main course (ranging from pasta and grain bowls to premium meat and seafood dishes), and a dessert or a non-alcoholic beverage.
Are weekday set lunches more affordable than dinner menus?
Yes, weekday set lunches are usually more value-for-money than standard dinner menus at the same establishments. Restaurants offer these lower-priced promotional sets to cater to the corporate crowd and mid-week diners. Ordering a set lunch allows you to experience signature dishes, premium ingredients and sophisticated dining atmospheres at a fraction of its usual cost.
What are the typical operating hours for executive set lunches in Singapore?
Most executive and business set lunch menus are available strictly from Monday to Friday, typically between 11.30am and 3pm. As they cater heavily to corporate professionals, some restaurants offer express speed-guarantees i.e. promising to serve all courses within 45 to 60 minutes so you can make it back for afternoon meetings.
Do I need to make reservations for weekday set lunches?
Yes, we highly recommend securing a reservation, especially for popular dining spots in areas like Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar, Telok Ayer and Marina Bay. The mid-day rush hours see high demand from corporate clients hosting business lunches or team meetings. Making an advance booking also ensures the kitchen can accommodate any specific dietary or seating requirements.
Can executive set lunches accommodate dietary restrictions like vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
Yes, most restaurants in Singapore provide flexible options within their executive set lunch menus to cater to diverse dietary preferences. Vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free alternatives are often clearly marked on the menu. Tip: for a seamless dining experience, we recommend highlighting any allergies or dietary restrictions when making your reservation online.
Is there a dress code for executive set lunch spots in Singapore?
While dress codes vary by venue, the general standard for executive lunch spots (especially in the CBD) is smart casual or business casual. Avoid overly casual wear like singlets, gym gear, sportswear and rubber slippers.
Are drinks or coffee included in a weekday set lunch menu?
This depends on the restaurant! Some places include a complimentary soft drink, house-poured tea, or a post-meal barista coffee or tea within the fixed set price. Others offer beverages as an optional, discounted add-on to keep the base menu price lower. If drinks are not explicitly listed on the set menu, they will be charged at standard a la carte prices on your final bill.
