Which restaurants let kids eat free in Singapore right now?+
Here is where each stands after we re-checked every brand's own channels on 16 October 2026. Guzman y Gomez gives one free Kids' Meal with every eligible regular main ordered on the GYG App, every Sunday. Lawry's The Prime Rib lets 2 kids aged 12 and below dine free on Sundays with at least 2 adult mains or set menus, to 30 November. Morganfield's lets one child aged 7 or below eat free with each paying adult main on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and school holidays, now at its Suntec City restaurant only. Swensen's Unlimited feeds children below 5 free at its buffet, up to 1 per paying adult, with a child rate from 5 to below 12. COLLIN'S at Shaw Plaza and Marina Square gives a free kids' meal for children 12 and below with a $50 spend, every day. IKEA's Kids Eat Free is a school-holiday promotion for IKEA Family members; its last window, 7 to 11 September 2026, has ended and no next date is published. Typhoon Cafe's September Kids Dine Free at Plaza Singapura ended on 30 September. Edge at Pan Pacific publishes half-price rates for children 6 to 12 but no under-6 policy, so confirm that one when you book.
Where can kids eat free today?+
It depends on the day, and the answer keeps changing. On Sundays you have the most choice: GYG (one free Kids' Meal with every regular main on the GYG App, at the 21 of 23 restaurants that open on Sundays), plus Lawry's at Mandarin Gallery (2 kids free with 2 adult mains, to 30 November, not 8 November) and Morganfield's at Suntec City all day. Saturdays and public holidays give you Morganfield's. On an ordinary weekday, COLLIN'S at Shaw Plaza or Marina Square is now the straightforward answer, since its $50-spend kids' meal runs daily, and the two buffets, Swensen's Unlimited and Edge, apply their child policies every day they open. The one thing you can no longer do is a free kids' breakfast: Fish & Co's Waterway Point breakfast deal is off its promotions page and that outlet now opens at 11am.
Where do kids eat free on a weekday in Singapore?+
Weekdays used to be the thinnest day for this, and they are not any more. COLLIN'S runs its Kids Dine Free with a $50 spend every day, including the eve of and on public holidays, at Shaw Plaza and Marina Square. Swensen's Unlimited is the cheapest weekday sit-down: a child below 5 eats free and weekday lunch is $35++ an adult, with children 5 to below 12 at $15++. Morganfield's joins them only in school holidays: the September break has passed, and the next is the year-end holidays, 21 November to 31 December 2026, when every weekday qualifies at Suntec City. Typhoon Cafe's Monday-to-Thursday free seat ended on 30 September. IKEA's free-kids week ended on 11 September, but its kids' meals are $4.50 with a juice included, every day.
Which buffets in Singapore let kids eat free?+
Swensen's Unlimited is the clear one: children below 5 eat free with every paying adult, and children 5 to below 12 pay a child rate. Its published rates, before service charge and GST, are $35 adult and $15 child for weekday lunch, $50 and $30 for weekend lunch, $38 and $25 for Monday to Thursday dinner, and $60 and $30 for Friday to Sunday dinner, at three outlets (Acacia@Geneo, Changi Airport T2 and VivoCity) with 90-minute seatings. It is halal-certified. At Edge in Pan Pacific Singapore the picture is less clear than most roundups suggest: its rate card charges children 6 to 12 half the adult price and does not publish an under-6 policy at all, so ask when you reserve. Typhoon Cafe ran the only free child here as a promotion rather than a price-card rule (one child below 10 per 2 paying adults, Mondays to Thursdays), and it ended on 30 September 2026. Buffets are still the most dependable option overall, because a child policy built into the price card cannot expire the way a promotion can.
What age counts as a 'kid' for these deals?+
It varies by brand, and the gap is wide. GYG's free Kids' Meal covers kids up to 12. COLLIN'S and Lawry's also go up to 12. Morganfield's free child must be 7 or below. Swensen's Unlimited is free for children below 5, with a child rate from 5 to below 12. IKEA's promotion, which last ran 7 to 11 September, said kids 12 and below in its headline but below 12 in its third term, so bring proof of age if your child is exactly 12 when it returns. Typhoon Cafe's free seat is for children below 10, and its buffet card prices children 5 to 10 with nothing published for under-5s. Edge publishes rates only for children 6 to 12. Age is what counts, not height or appetite, and staff can ask for proof, so bring something with the child's date of birth if they are near a cut-off.
Do I need an app or membership to get kids eat free?+
For two of them, yes. GYG's Sunday deal must be ordered through the GYG App, which needs a free GOMEX account, and IKEA's deal, whenever it runs (the last window was 7 to 11 September), needs a free IKEA Family membership with the card and the child present at checkout. The rest just need you to dine in and order: Morganfield's needs one paying adult main per free child, COLLIN'S needs a $50 spend on the bill, Lawry's needs 2 adult mains or set menus on a Sunday, Swensen's Unlimited needs one paying adult, and Edge is charged straight off its rate card. No promo codes are involved anywhere on this list.
How much is a 'free' kids' meal actually worth here?+
More than most people assume, which is why it is worth planning a meal around. Morganfield's own ordering site prices its Kids Mac & Cheese and Kids Hot Dog at $9.90 each, both with apple juice and fries, so that is roughly what one free child saves you. COLLIN'S kids' meal comes with cream of wild mushroom soup, an Italian sausage and fresh watermelon on top of the main. Lawry's gives away its 3-course kids set menu, two of them per bill. At Swensen's Unlimited the saving is the child rate itself, $15++ at weekday lunch and $30++ at weekend dinner, per child below 5. And at Edge, a child aged 6 to 12 costs exactly half an adult, so the saving there is $36++ at weekday lunch. At Typhoon Cafe the free seat is worth the kids' buffet rate, $15.90++ at lunch or $18.90++ at dinner, which is $19.06 or $22.66 once the 10% service charge and 9% GST are on. By comparison, IKEA's kids' meals cost only $4.50 to begin with, juice included.
