Best Business Lunch Deals in Singapore
Quick wins from under $10 solo sets to 51st-floor views, all done in an hour and back to your desk.
The best business lunches in Singapore aren't about glamour—they're about speed, value, and knowing which district suits your mood and timeline. These are ordered by price, not prestige, because the reader wants a deal. Most run Monday to Friday only, between 11am and 3pm. Book nothing; just walk in to the cheapest spots. For anything under $20 per person, assume 20 minutes door-to-table. For the premium ones, book a day ahead or call that morning. Skip the weekends entirely—all of these close their lunch menus on Saturdays and Sundays.

Solo Lunch Sets run $9.90 for members and $12.90 for non-members, with mains including the Iberico Char Siew Signature Bowl, Crab Roe Bee Hoon, and Thunder Tea Fried Rice. Order the Crab Roe Bee Hoon or Thunder Tea Fried Rice and you get Crispy Duck Wings in Salt & Pepper as a side. You're in and out in 15 minutes. The room is basic—stainless steel and noise—but the meal hits.
Pepper Lunch
Multiple outlets islandwide · Japanese teppanyaki · $11.90 sets, Monday to Friday, opening to 3pm

Weekday set lunches are $11.90 and come with a drink and soup, including dishes like Striploin Steak and Salmon Pepper Rice. Watch your meal cook on the hotplate at your table. The sound of sizzle and the smell of beef draws the whole office out at noon, so go early or go late—1:30pm onward is calm.
Beauty in the Pot
The Star Vista, VivoCity, Westgate · Hotpot · $19.90 per person, Monday to Friday

Weekday value lunch sets start at $19.90 per person and $39.90 for two, served within 20 minutes. The hotpot arrives simmering; you dunk your own vegetables and meat. Timing is tight, but predictable. Pick Westgate if you're in the CBD—it's the closest to Raffles Place.
TANYU
Multiple locations · Chinese grilled fish · $15.90 single sets, weekdays only

Weekday sets run $15.90 for a single portion of grilled fish with three flavour options, or $49++ for a set for two. The fish arrives on a sizzling tray and keeps bubbling in its sauce for twenty minutes, so the eating window is long. Over 40 skewer flavours sit alongside it. Less frenetic than the cheaper places; more breathing room at your table.
Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, Orchard Road · International buffet · $35++ per person (1-for-1), Monday to Friday, 12pm–2:30pm

The weekday lunch buffet usually costs $70++ but runs a 1-for-1 deal down to $35++ per person. Black Angus roast beef, seafood, carving station. If you need to impress someone quietly—a client you already know well, a lunch break with a colleague—the soft play of a hotel lobby beats a street stall. Book the day before.
Jiak Kim House
Jiak Kim Street, Singapore River · Modern Asian · $55–$65++, Monday to Friday, 12pm–3pm

Weekday set lunches run $55++ for 2-course and $65++ for 3-course. The space is a 1920s warehouse with high ceilings and the kind of quiet that lets you actually think. Order their signature Tingkat of Memories. Good if you have an hour and want to feel like you've left the office, not just temporarily escaped it.
Oumi
CapitaSpring, Raffles Place, Level 51 · Japanese kappo · $55++, Monday to Friday, 11:30am–2:30pm

Each 4-course lunch set comes with a Starter, Chawanmushi, Main and Japanese Sweet, from $55++. The restaurant has sweeping views of Singapore's skyline; choose mains like Koji Chicken, Wagyu Short Rib, or Unagi. The view alone justifies the price. Twelve minutes in the lift, and you're above the noise. Book a table the night before.
Level 52, Downtown Gallery, Tanjong Pagar · Peruvian-Japanese · $48++, weekdays

The Vivo Business Lunch is $48++ and promises a three-course power meal in under an hour. Fifty-two storeys up means the view is the appetizer. The room is alive—jazz, the clink of glasses, people who closed a deal ten minutes ago. Go if you need the energy boost more than the quiet.
Ocean Financial Centre, Collyer Quay, Level 43 · Italian · $58++, Monday to Friday, 11:45am–3pm

Two-course lunch sets run from $58++ with house-made tagliolini and pan-seared Atlantic cod. The view of the bay from the 43rd floor feels deliberate, not accidental. Go slow. Italian business lunches run long because the Italians know something about time.
Raffles Place · Latin-European · $42–$48++, Tuesday to Friday, 11:45am–2:30pm
Photo: Sol & Luna source
Modern Classics Lunch sets run $42++ for two courses and $48++ for three courses; the deal is only available Tuesday to Friday, as they don't open for lunch on Mondays. The restaurant looks over the Singapore River and the Padang. Choose this for a Friday wind-down lunch when work feels negotiable.
