Borderless Sunday Brunch at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel 392 Havelock Road
The Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel calls its Sunday brunch buffet “borderless” because its food offerings are that extensive. Available in the middle of the hotel’s swanky lobby, which recently went through a $17 million facelift, the integrated dining destination lets you sample dishes from three eateries ― Food Capital, Grissini and Tempo. So, you get to taste different cuisines, all for one reasonable price. Full review here…
Grub 510, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, Bishan Park 1
Established in the hope of promoting “responsible eating” (as natural as possible), Grub’s grub is hearty. We loved the sweet-and-sour-pork inspired sous vide version, ciders and handcrafted beers. Junior will fight you for the mentaiko fries. Full review here...

Open Farm Community 130E Minden Road
Two words: Fresh. Harvest. Your little will love rambling through the fresh-herb garden and you will have to yell to get them out of the play area for their gnocchi. You will love the Italian-influenced cookery. Full review here...
