Make the best of Father’s Day on 20 June this year, given that it falls towards the end of Singapore’s Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) where dining rooms remain closed.
This is the opportunity to try a MICHELIN-recommended restaurant’s cuisine with your family in the cosiness of your own home, as many chefs have adapted quickly to bring their best dishes to your table. While everyone is looking forward to dining out again, dining at home can’t be that bad with one (or more!) of the luxurious takeaway spreads listed here. From comfort food to specially created dishes just for dad, here's to treating the father figures in your life.
Odette (3 MICHELIN Star, MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019)
Pull out the stops to impress the family with Odette At Home’s Father’s Day Elegance set ($498, feeds 4 pax). The repast from chef Julien Royer and team brings you a selection of their triumphant favourites, of which the whole roasted poularde de Bresse and Niigata rice with Grande Tradition albufera sauce will occupy your praises. The claypot rice-like crust with crispy chicken skin never fails to steal the show, and is a fine introduction for those who have not yet scored a reservation at Odette. The menu also includes crab gourmandises topped with Kristal caviar, pâté en croûte with duck, foie gras and Perigord jelly, an artisan cheese platter with Brillat Savarin, Saint Nectaire, Comte and Fourme d’Ambert, apple tart Comme un Chausson, and a signature Odette sourdough Terre d’Auvergne and Bordier butter.
Pre-order by 19 June, 7pm for 20 June, 12-8pm only. Takeaway and delivery here
Candlenut (1 MICHELIN Star, MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019)
Chef Malcolm Lee has created a Candlenut special just for Father’s Day, one which will intrigue Peranakan cuisine fans. It’s a Margaret River Angus beef short ribs Kapitan curry ($35), with the added texture of chopped candlenuts and kaffir lime leaves. For those more familiar with the Penang style chicken kapitan curry, this will be a rich contrast as it is more lemak (fat) with a meatier flavour.
Till 30 June, takeaway and delivery here (dine in available from 21 June)
Nouri (1 MICHELIN Star, MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019)
Nouri At Home has blessed us with comfort food like the Perfection Burger ($44, with nori fries and a milkshake), and Spicy Dumpling Party (from $28). It’s now quickest fingers first to order the Father’s Day Seafood Platter ($225, feeds 2 to 4 pax) which comprises a Boston lobster tail, tiger prawns, oysters, Hokkaido king crab, scallop ceviche, marinated Galician octopus, potato and pickled white asparagus salad, and three sauces including garlic herb butter, mignonette and Marie Rose. Match it up with the vibrant Domaine Ellevin Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin 2018.

Alma (1 MICHELIN Star, MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019)
Hesitate no more – this is your chance to pamper dad’s taste buds with the ultimate burger extravagance. Alma brings back their BWT – Black Winter Truffle Burger Set ($100) paired enticingly with crispy pomme paillasson and a half bottle (375ml) of Castellare di Castelinna Chianti Classico 2017. The burger features a patty of Kumamoto A3 Wagyu beef and dry-aged U.S. beef, candied bacon, maitake mushrooms, beef bourguignon, caramelised onions, aged gouda and cheddar cheeses, umami glaze and bechamel, with a scatter of Manjimup black winter truffle shavings.

Bar-Roque Grill (Bib Gourmand, MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019)
A restaurant with the effervescent charm of chef Stephane Istel and general manager Nicolas Schwarz, Bar-Roque Grill is rightly famous for its in-house charcuterie and dry-aged meats. For the Father’s Day set menu ($368, feeds 4 to 6 pax), expect their bestsellers, including the heirloom tomato salad and burrata, pâté en croûte with foie gras and pistachio, charcuterie platter [image, left], and choice of beef Wellington [main banner image] or whole roasted organic lamb shoulder. It ends fittingly with mum’s recipe lemon pie with Italian meringue, if stomach real estate is still available. Drop in a bottle of their bold house wine, 6469 Red 2019 which is a blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache from Languedoc.
19 & 20 June only, takeaway and delivery here
Min Jiang at Dempsey (MICHELIN Plate, MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019)
While you won’t be able to celebrate Min Jiang at Dempsey’s second anniversary at their premises, dad can still enjoy his favourite dim sum and fine Cantonese dishes in the Father’s Day Design Your Own Indulgence Menu ($100, four course for 2 pax, and $280, six course for 4 pax). Items include signatures such as the crispy Chilean sea perch with mango and plum sauce, pan-fried Kurobuta pork, and steamed quail egg siew mai in truffle oil accompanied by deep-fried golden pear curry chicken with mushrooms. Enjoy complimentary longevity char siew buns with either menu.
19 & 20 June only, takeaway and delivery here
Gattopardo (MICHELIN Plate, MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019)
The only Sicilian seafood specialist in town, Gattopardo can’t bring its charming shophouse to you, but it can bring you the treasures of the ocean. The Father’s Day Family Feast ($400 nett, feeds 4 pax), lives up to its name with ample choices for picky palates. Tuck into a Sicilian seafood salad of tiger prawns [image, right], Hokkaido scallops and yellowfin tuna with salmoriglio dressing, tagliatelle with Normandy blue lobster, roasted spring chicken with roasted vegetables, and the showstopper Gattopardo signature salt-baked fish with Sicilian caponata. There’s also a DIY cannoli kit with sheep ricotta mousse and a complimentary bottle of wine to prolong the festivities.
