When we think of going to some place romantic, most people would suggest fine-dining restaurants. And it’s not exactly a surprise since fine-dining restaurants are known to offer the best service, along with a romantic ambience.
However, many would also agree that the portions of the courses can be rather small and may not actually keep you full. In fact, a lot of people tend to get additional supper after celebrating a special occasion at the restaurant.
Instead of forking out extra money, consider going to a buffet dinner. You’ve got lots of options, and you can take as much food as you would like, which becomes value-for-money. We understand that not every buffet restaurant would be able to provide the same kind of ambience as a fine-dining restaurant, so we’ve gone ahead to put together a list of romantic buffet dinner restaurants in Singapore so that you can plan for your next date night!
