Most of us are back in the office, which means business meetings, work obligations and impressing your clients. When it comes to business lunches, it can be stressful sometimes picking a place that means business yet satisfying for the tummies involved. Whether it’s your boss or client you’re catering to, here are five restaurants with weekday lunch specials that will suit different taste buds and budget.
1. Zafferano
Famed Italian restaurant Zafferano is known for its sweeping views of Marina Bay from the 43rd floor of the Ocean Financial Centre, taking your business lunches and meetings to a whole new level. Set lunch menus are available, priced at $57++ for a two-course meal and $67++ for a three-course one. The menu is changed up twice a month, so you can always come back and find something new!
2. Mott 32
Does your client or boss show an appreciation for Asian cuisines? Then Mott 32 is sure to impress with an array of Chinese signature dishes such as Crispy Roasted Pork Belly and their signature Apple Wood Roasted Peking Duck. Prices for a set lunch start from $55++ per person with a minimum of two.
3. Avenue 87
Housed within the warm, sophisticated ambience of a 2-storey conservation shophouse, Avenue 87 brings to the table well-loved Asian favourites with a creative twist using traditional and contemporary techniques. Old and new methods are explored, and both local and the artisanal are celebrated. It’s a prime spot for a casual business meeting, with lunch sets starting from $75++.
4. Fleur de Sel
Fleur de Sel is an ode to French cuisine. Two set lunches are available, the Fleur de Sel Set Lunch ($78++) and the four-course Degustation Set Lunch ($98++). Indulge in dishes like Australian Angus beef tenderloin tartare, seared Hokkaido scallop and pan fried Japanese hamachi.
5. Kinki
It’s clear by now that Kinki isn’t your typical Japanese restaurant. Located right by the water at Collyer Quay, Kinki rebels against the norm with unconventional flavours in an eclectic setting. Try their set lunches that start from $32, with options like a chirashi don, wagyu don, or a sashimi and sushi platter.
