Celebrate Singapore’s National Day with these special SG61 menus

Sixty-one candles this year, and restaurants across Singapore are marking the milestone with limited-time menus, nostalgic local flavours and standout dining experiences.

Whether the plan is a staycation, a gathering with family and friends, or simply an excuse to dine out over the long weekend, these are the National Day menus worth booking this year.

Leaning all the way into the mash-up, Sushisamba marks Singapore’s 61st with a special edition of its Copacabana Brunch on 8th August this year (from $160++), a live carvery affair pairing Australian short rib and roasted whole chicken with Hainanese rice, alongside local-inspired plates like Crab Leg Seviche and SAMBA Rojak, before easing into dessert with Pineapple Coconut Tart, Peranakan Bonbon and Sago Gula Melaka Trifle.

On National Day itself, a five-course National Day Lunch ($98++) brings Lobster Tostada, Chicken Empanada and Salmon & Caviar to the table, with a choice of Short Rib or Red Snapper to follow.

Two exclusive cocktails carry the celebration through the weekend: The Lion City Fizz is a festive, ruby-red creation built to celebrate Singapore’s independence, blending gin with a tangy roselle cordial for a refreshing sip that fits right into the restaurant’s Brazilian-Japanese-Peruvian flair. Alongside it sits a pandan- and laksa leaf-infused Straits Spice Negroni (both $24++).

Free-flow packages start at $40++ for brunch and $90++ for lunch.

Steak lovers get two reasons to show up this month. Throughout August this year, the Tomahawk Celebratory Set ($288++, serves three to four) centres on an applewood-grilled Tomahawk with a choice of two sides and two desserts – Truffle Fries or Creamed Spinach with Poached Egg and Cheese, followed by Classic Crème Brûlée or Burnt Cheesecake.

On 9 August 2026, Luncheon’s National Day edition of Steak Frites ($61++, a nod to Singapore’s 61st birthday) features fresh flatbread, a choice of 120-day corn-fed ribeye or 100-day grain-fed striploin, free-flow truffle parmesan fries and grilled baby gem, before ending on a sweet note with a flambéed sea salt brownie served with vanilla ice cream.

Those heading to Sentosa over the National Day weekend can mark the occasion with a menu built around the restaurant’s signature meats.

Throughout August, Bedrock Origin is serving a 61-Day Dry-Aged Wagyu Striploin (S$161++, 600g, serves two to three), whose extended ageing develops a deeper, more concentrated flavour before it’s finished over the grill.

On Sundays and public holidays, The Harvest Table Bottomless Brunch (S$78++) offers a generous spread ranging from Kombu-Cured Tomahawk and Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder to Grilled Tiger Prawns and Chilli Crab Linguine.

As part of the National Day celebrations, one diner goes free with every six paying adults, while children aged six and under dine free with a paying adult.

What happens when French cooking meets Singaporean comfort food?

At Moutarde and Sundae Royale, National Day specials take familiar local flavours in unexpected directions. Start at Moutarde with the Kaya French Toast (S$14++), where the beloved breakfast spread finds a new home in Chef Paul Pairet’s take on French toast, before moving on to the Black Pepper Beef Short Ribs – a rich, peppery dish inspired by a recipe originally created by Chef Pairet together with Singaporean chef Glen Tay.

For desserts, Sundae Royale is where kopi takes centre stage in a collection of sweet treats made with locally roasted Costa Rican beans. Whether it’s the creamy Kopi Soft-Serve (S$7++), the nostalgic Kopi & Chocolate Cereals Sundae (S$9++), the indulgent Kopi Milkshake (S$10++) or the grown-up Irish Kopi Sundae (S$16++), each offers a playful tribute to one of Singapore’s favourite daily rituals.

Fifty-seven storeys up, the skyline arrives as a permanent fixture on the menu. On 9th August 2026, a three-course National Day Brunch (from $88++) and four-course National Day Dinner (from $168++) are on offer, with a free-flow Billecart-Salmon Champagne upgrade available from $148++.

Stay on afterward and the rooftop transforms into Majulah, In The Sky from 12pm to 8.30pm, with live entertainment, family activities and entry from $68++, one drink included.

For those swapping concrete for canopy, Forage presents refined local favourites from 7 to 9 August through a three-course lunch ($58++), six-course dinner ($148++) and Afternoon Tea ($18++).

Families can gather at Planter’s Shed on 8th and 9th August for a National Day buffet with interactive Rojak and DIY Ice Kacang stations – the latter seemingly engineered for children, and for adults who never stopped being children about ice kacang.

The resort’s National Day Getaway package (7th to 10th August 2026) rounds things out with daily breakfast, buffet dinner and admission to one Mandai Wildlife Reserve park for up to two adults.

National Day feels especially fitting at Bar Kap, where cocktails are served inside the 140-year-old House of Tan Yeok Nee, one of Singapore’s last surviving Grand Teochew Mansions.

The Pepper Peddler ($28) nods to the nation’s historic spice trade with baijiu (rice wine), gin, makgeolli, citrus and peppercorn, while bar bites such as Golden Spring Rolls ($12), Spicy Tempeh Tots ($12) and Slow-Cooked Pork Jowl with Coconut Chilli Sambal ($24) round out the experience.

For something more composed, The St. Regis Bar‘s Straits Flavour cocktail set ($30++, 1–31 August) pairs two takes on Tanglin Orchid Gin – a homegrown spirit distilled with Singapore’s own Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid and amchoor (dried green mango powder), giving it a smooth, faintly floral character with a citrusy edge and a warm, peppery finish.

The set includes the classic Singapore Sling, the century-old tipple built on gin, cherry liqueur, Cointreau and Bénédictine, brightened with lime and pineapple – sweet, tart and instantly recognisable.

Alongside it sits The Garden City, a clarified and carbonated reinterpretation using Tanglin Orchid Gin, stripped of the Sling’s cloudiness and given a crisp, effervescent lift that lets the orchid gin’s floral notes come through.

From 3rd August 2026, The Tea Room joins the celebration with a brand-new National Day Afternoon Tea – a full sit-down experience with tableside tea service, savoury bites, scones and sweets, rather than just a simple cup of tea.
