Best Christmas Restaurant in Singapore for Lunch and Dinner: Vineyard at HortPark
For a Christmas meal away from the malls, Vineyard at HortPark at 33 Hyderabad Road is a French garden restaurant that serves both Christmas lunch and dinner inside HortPark.

Both come with farm-to-table French cooking and space for groups.

Why Choose Christmas Lunch at Vineyard at Hortpark?
Lunch suits families with children, grandparents and anyone who wants the rest of the day free. You see the gardens in daylight, take photos outside, and still have the afternoon for gifts at home. On weekends, Vineyard opens from 10.30am with brunch until 3pm, which makes a late-morning Christmas get-together easy.

Dinner suits couples, friends and grown-up family groups. The park is quieter after dark, the setting feels more intimate, and the meal becomes the main event of the day.
