Christmas is a time for family and friends to get together, eat good food, and have fun. To celebrate Christmas dinner in Singapore, many would choose to go to one of the famous restaurants for their Christmas dinner specials. But which restaurant should you go to? Here are some factors you might want to consider:
Budget
Table of Contents
Everyone has a different idea of what a budget means. The first thing you should do is find out how much you want to spend on the meal. Have a maximum amount in mind, and then work within it. This way, there won’t be any surprises at the end of the night when paying the bill.
Food
What type of food do you want when celebrating Christmas dinner in Singapore? Is it an Asian, Western, or Fusion style-of-food restaurant? Do they have a set or buffet menu on offer for the night, or are there ala carte options available? What is included in the set/buffet price, and what is extra?
People Dining Together
How many people do you have at your party and how old are they? Also, inquire whether kids enjoy the same Food as adults or if a children’s menu is available. A restaurant with a set/buffet menu will usually require everyone to dine at the same table, but with ala carte options, families and friends can split up and dine at multiple tables if they wish.
Transportation
Is the restaurant easily accessible by public transport? Is parking available nearby? If you intend to drive, check out the parking location before deciding which restaurant to go to. Some restaurants might have special deals on parking for their customers, so it might be worth asking.
Location
Is the restaurant in a convenient location for you? Does it provide free shuttle services to and from major shopping malls or train stations? Or are you required to pay an extra fee for them to pick you up? Will they drop you off at your doorstep when dinner is over, or do they require that you make your way home? What time does the restaurant close? Might you be able to get a meal if you go later than expected and they’re still open for business?
Opening Hours
Are you free on Christmas Day? Can you get a table for dinner, or will the restaurant be fully booked out? Booking your table earlier means that you’ll have more options, and it will also ensure that there is no last-minute rushing around to find a place to eat. The earlier, the better! If you’re free in the day and can get a table for dinner, your worst-case scenario is to grab a quick bite at a fast-food joint.
Christmas Discounts
Many restaurants run Christmas dinner promotions in Singapore. Some might provide a set menu at a discounted price. Others will give massive discounts if certain dishes are ordered in addition to the meal, or they might have two-for-one deals on bottles of alcohol. The earlier you book your table, the more likely you will get better value for money with these deals.
Conclusion
The choice of restaurant for your Christmas dinner will be dictated by the factors mentioned above. There are so many good restaurants to choose from in Singapore; it can overwhelm you when deciding which one to go to! The most important thing is that you have a good time at whatever restaurant you end up going to. Happy dining!
