Looking for a memorable way to mark Singapore’s birthday? This August, Fairmont Singapore and Swissôtel The Stamford are rolling out a full spread of National Day 2026 dining experiences, from rooftop barbecues and Michelin-starred tasting menus to a halal-certified fish head curry and celebratory in-room feasts. Whether you fancy a leisurely lunch, a lazy afternoon by the pool or a special-occasion dinner high above Marina Bay, there is something here for every kind of celebration.
A rooftop barbecue at The Eight
At the heart of the celebrations is The Eight, where an open-air National Day BBQ Party runs exclusively on 9 August from 6pm to 9pm. Expect an abundant buffet of chilled seafood, fresh salads and aquaponics greens harvested from the hotels’ own pesticide-free farm, plus grilled favourites such as The Eight Wagyu Striploin, a Signature Wagyu Burger, Char Siew Lamb Chop, Five Spice Roasted Pork Belly and Assorted Singapore Satay. Local classics like Hainanese Chicken Rice sit alongside desserts including Ondeh Ondeh Cake and Coconut Gula Melaka Cake.
The National Day BBQ Party is priced at S$98++ per adult, S$88++ for Accor Plus members and S$25++ per child aged six to 12. Beyond National Day itself, The Eight also hosts Grill Out with Hendrick’s on the last weekend of July and August, pairing barbecue skewers with gin cocktails for an easy afternoon by the pool.
Sky-high dining at SKAI and JAAN
Set 70 floors up, SKAI unveils Executive Chef Enver Can Gumus’ latest Handwritten Volume 7, a five-course tasting menu from S$198++ per person with highlights such as 6 Days Dry Aged Tuna Sashimi, King Crab Cake and 2GR Wagyu Flank Steak cooked over the restaurant’s signature Josper charcoal grill. A 45-minute Handwritten Lunch Menu is available from S$62++.
Also on Level 70, two-Michelin-starred JAAN by Kirk Westaway opens for a special National Day service, a rare chance to experience Chef Kirk’s Modern British cuisine and a seasonal tasting menu inspired by his home region of Devon, all with panoramic views over the city.
Local heritage at Asian Market Café and CLOVE
For a taste of home, Asian Market Café introduces Chef Mohamad Ariff’s Fish Head Curry, the first instalment of a new Claypot Series and one of the few halal-certified fish head curry experiences in Singapore. Served with the café’s seafood buffet until 31 August, it is priced from S$80++ per adult at lunch and S$98++ at dinner, with one claypot per table.
