Robertson Quay, River Valley & Tiong Bahru

Robertson Quay, River Valley and Tiong Bahru make up Singapore's most relaxed brunch neighbourhood. The riverside strip between Clarke Quay and Kim Seng Bridge is lined with cafés, bistros and hotel restaurants with alfresco terraces, and weekend mornings bring out joggers, dog walkers and families who stay for eggs Benedict, flat whites and long lunches by the water. Brunches here lean towards à la carte and sharing formats rather than giant buffets, with Australian-style cafés, French bistros and Italian trattorias alongside hotel spreads at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront, InterContinental Robertson Quay and nearby properties. Many venues are dog-friendly, and several offer free-flow packages at gentler prices than the Marina Bay hotels. Fort Canning, Havelock, Great World and Tiong Bahru MRT stations serve the area.
