It’s a special occasion, so choose a nice and romantic restaurant for your Xmas Dinner. Christmas is just another excuse for us to feast like kings and queens.

Some possible restaurants for Christmas Party Venues in Singapore:

I know exactly how you feel, because everyone has been asking me to recommend suitable restaurants for Christmas Party Venues in Singapore for 2010.
Located just 3 minutes drive away from Harborfront, Prive Bakery Cafe Bar at Keppel Island is a gorgeous place for brunch, desserts or drinks. If you are planning to throw a Christmas party for a group of friends (less than 50 pax), call them 3-4 days in advance to make a reservation.

Go for a Christmas buffet and eat to your heart’s content
What better way to end the year than to pig-out at a Christmas buffet and eat as much as you want?

Be it a dim sum buffet, a Christmas Brunch, or whatever you are craving for — go for it!

How are you planning to spend this Christmas? Is it gonna be a romantic Christmas dinner for two at a nice restaurant, or having a party with your family & friends, or simply a good feast at your favorite restaurant?
This is such a thoughtful list, Brad. I particularly like the NYDC one. How interesting to have Japanese for Christmas! Do you know, many HK foodies are leaving for Japan for Christmas? Top of the list of destinations is Hokkaido.
Hi, Love your recommendation for good food. Can you please do us another favor? Beside Cold storage to order Christmas food, can you recommend couple more places to order turkey, ham, etc… for christmas lunch at home?
Thanks for the list!
Would you recommend Melt the World Cafe for christmas dinner? read about the rave review on the restaurant before.
thanks!
Hey Brad,
I think Singapore Flyer’s Sky Dining would be a good place for a romantic Christmas dinner.
Thanks brad for the recommendations! I can’t wait for my exam to end on 23rd to go for x’mas shopping and dinner and parties! ( : will suggest some places for my upcoming festive gatherings. Thanks! ( ;
Hi,

cheers
Joe and Alex
Joe: Hello, please drop me an email at [email protected] and I can help with some suggestions : )
hello!
hope you dun mind but I think you referred to mincemeat pies under Ikoi.. They are sweet mince pies and not savoury.. except for in history..
Tot you might want to be aware since you are a food blogger.. =D
Sorry, I am having Xmas dinner at La Cantina in Venezia now. My partner n I are sharing 1set of their Xmas dinner set. I’ll have to be honest, I totally disagree with your recommendation. The food up to now (various starters n soup) are mediocre at best. My dinner started at 8pm but till now the main course has not been served. The food is served too slow. Also we were served soup we didn’t order n the same soup was served to us twice. I don’t mean to be rude but I really regret coming here to eat. The food especially was a let down. To be fair to this restaurant, maybe the ala carte food is better.
Sorry after the main course n dessert, in my personal opinion, I will never eat in this restaurant again, n I will warn my relatives n good frens against eating here. Even the ice cream cone for the dessert was soft n totally no crispy! For a restaurant in a hotel serving Xmas set, I find this standard is too appalling. Sorry but this is my honest opinion.
Hi
I need to organize a Christmas Eve Feast for 40person ,not more than $50 per head.
Any good recommendations? thank you.
