When Mother’s Day rolls around each year, there’s always a slew of enticing dining promotions, spa offers and gift guides. The same cannot normally be said when it comes to Father’s Day; the general feeling seems to be to give your dad a big slab of meat, some beer and maybe a new pair of socks or a tie and call it a day. Well, we hope to make things a bit more equal this year with our guide to the best spots to celebrate all the great dads out there this Sunday, 17 June.

208 Duecento Otto

208’s delicious Italian à-la-carte menu will be up for ordering for dinner (6:30–10pm) on Father’s Day – think top-notch salumi, antipasti, Napoletana pizzas and homemade pastas in a relaxed setting – plus each dad will be gifted with a complimentary bottle of wine to take home for post-supper sipping.

To really make your dad’s jaw drop, make a booking at restaurant-with-a-view aqua for an uber-luxurious edition of the sleek eatery’s #BecauseBrunch in one of four private dinner rooms ($1,988/person). The eye-watering price tag includes free-flow Krug bubbly, stone-cooked A5 Miyazaki beef and a $2,500 Lane Crawford gift card. If your budget doesn’t stretch quite that far, check out aqua’s standard – but stellar – brunch with free-flow Veuve Clicquot champagne and cocktails ($648/person).

Chachawan

The best thing about reserving a table at Foodie fave Chachawan for lunch or dinner on Father’s Day? That you can actually book! This perennially popular, normally no-reservations Thai restaurant would make an excellent choice for dads who want to up their spice game with Chachawan’s authentically fiery Isaan dishes. And because beer is the perfect complement to Thai food, every dad will get a free beer by craft brewery The Artist to accompany his meal.

Fishsteria Seafood Place

Your dad a seafood lover? Head to Chef Gianni Caprioli’s Fishsteria for The Explorer’s Brunch ($448/person; +$288 for free-flow Prosecco and house wines), which begins with a generous seafood-on-ice buffet spread, along with six French oysters for each diner. The under-the-sea-feast continues with three more courses that include dishes such as salmon tartare and hamachi carpaccio, mixed grilled seafood and the charming eatery’s signature lobster macaroni (above).

Jumbo shrimp cocktail, bone-in rib-eye and chocolate layer cake, anyone?
