Best 1-for-1 Buffet Deals in Singapore (November 2026)

In Singapore, “1-for-1 buffet” usually means a credit-card promotion, though a few hotels now run their own. Bring a paying companion and the second adult eats free, which halves the bill at some of the city’s hotel spreads.

These deals rotate fast, often depend on specific banks, and some cap redemptions per day, so we re-check them every month. This list is verified for November 2026. One quick primer: “++” means before the 10% service charge and 9% GST, so a $30++ price comes to about $36 nett per person.

The deals at a glance

Every “1-for-1 / pax” figure is the effective per-person cost when two adults dine on the deal.

U.P. = usual price per adult, for the cheapest session on the deal. Prices exclude the 10% service charge and 9% GST. Verified November 2026 against hotel and bank listings. Café Mosaic at Carlton Hotel, which also ran a 1-for-1, closes for refurbishment from 15 November 2026 until April 2027.

The buffets, one by one

Plate — three themed 1-for-1 buffets Carlton City Hotel Singapore, 1 Gopeng Street, Level 3 (Tanjong Pagar)

$28++/pax Ah Ma Porridge Sunday lunch (U.P. $56++, till 27 Dec) · $31++/pax Flavours of Hong Kong lunch Mon–Fri, $34++ Sat (U.P. $62++/$68++, till 30 Dec) · $69++/pax Canton Street Kitchen dinner Fri–Sat (U.P. $138++, till 18 Dec) · Citi, DBS/POSB, Maybank, OCBC, Standard Chartered

The cheapest seat on this list is Plate’s Sunday porridge lunch, and its Hong Kong-themed weekday lunch is close behind. The 1-for-1 applies to adult prices only and can’t be combined with the free-flow drinks package or other promotions. Lunch runs 12–2.30pm and the Canton Street Kitchen dinner 6–10pm.

Sun’s Cafe — the widest card choice Hotel Grand Pacific, 101 Victoria Street (Bugis)

$30++/pax on the deal Mon–Thu (U.P. $60++), $32.50++ Fri–Sun (U.P. $65++) · lunch or dinner · DBS/POSB, UOB, OCBC, Citi, HSBC, Maybank · till 31 Dec 2026

A Peranakan-leaning spread that’s homely rather than lavish, and it takes the widest range of cards, so almost anyone can halve the bill. Lunch runs 12–2.30pm and dinner 6–9.30pm. The deal isn’t valid on public holidays or their eves, and it’s popular, so reserve ahead.

Royale — nine live stations Mercure Singapore Bugis, 122 Middle Road

$32.50++/pax on the weekday lunch (U.P. $65++; weekend lunch $70++, dinner from $75++) · DBS/POSB, OCBC, Citi, UOB, Maybank · DBS till 31 Dec, OCBC till 30 Dec 2026

More variety for the money: nine live stations spanning international and local favourites, plus a 1-for-1 afternoon tea on the same promotion. Lunch runs 12–2.30pm and dinner 6–10pm. Blackout dates apply, and the 24, 25 and 31 December festive buffets are 25% off rather than 1-for-1.

Crossroads — Orchard weekday lunch or dinner Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, 320 Orchard Road

$36++/pax weekday lunch with DBS/POSB (U.P. $72++) · $46++/pax Sun–Thu dinner with OCBC (U.P. $92++) · till 30 Nov 2026

The Orchard Road option, with two bank deals running to the end of November. Both are limited to the first 50 diners a day and up to 6 adults per booking, and you must book at least 3 days ahead directly with the hotel. The OCBC dinner needs a $10 nett deposit per person. Neither is valid on public holidays, their eves or festive dates.

The Landmark — the everyday halal pick Village Hotel Bugis, 390 Victoria Street, Level 5

$42.95++/pax on the weekday lunch (1-for-1 price $85.90++ for two) · MUIS halal-certified · lunch and dinner · till 31 Dec 2026 per the hotel’s promotion page

A fully halal international spread with local, Western, seafood and North Indian stations. The restaurant publishes its 1-for-1 prices directly, with no card condition: weekend lunch is $88.90++ for two, and dinner is $94.90++ (Mon–Thu) or $102.90++ (Fri–Sun) for two. It draws long queues, so book and arrive early.

Opus Bar & Grill — weekend local lunch voco Orchard Singapore, 581 Orchard Road

$44++/pax Saturday semi-buffet ($88++ for two) · $54++/pax Sunday full buffet ($108++ for two; the “Curry On!” edition with Old Chang Kee runs till 29 Nov) · 12–3pm · no card needed

A local-food weekend lunch that’s 1-for-1 for any two adults, with no bank card required. Children aged 6–12 pay $28++ and kids 5 and under eat free. Bills and tables can’t be split, and it can’t be combined with other promotions.

Ellenborough Market Café — Peranakan and claypot Paradox Singapore Merchant Court, 20 Merchant Road (Clarke Quay)

$49++/pax with DBS/POSB, 50% off the buffet (U.P. $98++) · Claypot Galore & Peranakan buffet, Fri dinner and Sat–Sun lunch · till 30 Dec 2026

Strictly 50% off every diner rather than 1-for-1, which also works for odd-numbered groups. It needs a prior reservation, and it isn’t valid on public holidays, their eves or special occasions. Seatings are timed (Friday dinner 6pm or 8pm; weekend lunch 12pm or 2pm), and the menu includes pork, so it isn’t halal.

Suhaimi @ Holiday Inn — the halal splurge Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium, 317 Outram Road

$64++/pax Mon–Thu (U.P. $128++), $69++ Fri–Sun (U.P. $138++) · halal wagyu & seafood dinner, 6–9.30pm · no card needed · till 22 Nov 2026

A halal “Suhaimi” buffet built around wagyu beef and seafood, 1-for-1 for all adult diners until 22 November. For an odd-numbered group, DBS/POSB, Citi or UOB cards get 50% off the extra adult. Kids 5 and under eat free.

Window on the Park — crab & lobster dinner Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, 11 Cavenagh Road, Level 2

$84++/pax ($168++ for two adults) · crab & lobster dinner buffet, Thu–Sun 6–10pm · no card needed, direct bookings only · till 22 Nov 2026

The seafood splurge on this list. Children aged 6–12 pay $40++, and kids under 6 eat free (up to 3 per paying adult). OCBC and Maybank also list a 1-for-1 dinner buffet here until 31 December, but the hotel hasn’t published the dinner price after 22 November, so check when you book.
