The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, or so the old adage goes, so we’ve sussed out the top Father’s Day dining specials in Singapore. From meaty picks like steak and roasted chicken to free-flow beer, here are the best restaurants for spoiling dad (or hubby) on this special day. Get booking!
Jamie’s Italian
Treat dad to a meaty feast with Jamie’s Italian promotions from 15 to 17 June. Exclusively available at the VivoCity outlet is the Father’s Day Roasted Meat Plank ($108) – 1kg of char-grilled, bone-in rib-eye steak and crispy roasted pork belly – a massive platter that’s fit for a king. Served alongside delectable sides such as Jamie’s famous cheesy polenta chips, balsamic roasted vine-ripened tomatoes, creamy mashed potato, a light Caesar salad and a small Jamie’s pasta of your liking, this sharing-sized dish is perfect for meat-loving Dad.
If you’re shopping in the city, Jamie’s Italian has an outlet at Forum Shopping Mall, which offers the Father’s Day Grill Special ($46.95). Dressed in a hot and spicy Piri-Piri marinade, a whole roasted baby chicken is served with a sweet, fiery paprika sauce, and accompanied with crispy sweet potato nachos. Beneath the chicken lies a bed of mesclun salad tossed in a tangy yuzu dressing for a refreshing balance. Complete the meal by topping up $10 for a 300ml Archipelago beer – because he deserves it!

Ricciotti
For a relaxing meal by the river, head to this cosy, breezy restaurant located at The Riverside along Boat Quay. Opened since 2004, this hidden gem is best known for serving unpretentious, delicious and affordable homemade Italian fare with a contemporary flair. Ricciotti places emphasis on making its pastas, pizzas, sauces, as well as its entire selection of desserts and breads from scratch using fresh, quality ingredients, which makes this spot a must-visit if Dad or Hubby is a fan of Italian cuisine.
Don’t miss the Father’s Day special, the Ravioli ai Porcini Crema di Parmigiano e Tartufo ($26): homemade ravioli stuffed with porcini mushrooms, homemade ricotta cheese and herbs, parmesan and truffle cream. There’s also a wide selection of pizzas for sharing; we’ve got our eye on the Tartufo pizza ($20 for 9-inch; $28 for 12-inch), an umami-loaded pizza consisting of black truffles spread, quail eggs, mushrooms, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. For something more classic, you won’t go wrong with Spaghetti alla Carbonara ($24) done the traditional way – spaghetti bathed in a heavenly concoction of egg yolks, crispy pork guanciale, parmesan cheese, pecorino cheese and black pepper.
