Father’s Day may not hold as much weight as Mother’s Day, but dad certainly deserves to be feted and fed no less. While fathers may be harder to shop for, it’s much easier to please his stomach. Here, we’ve rounded up four restaurants to satiate his appetite and his passion for World Cup.
For massive German platters
Sharing is caring, and what better to way show it than with Brotzeit’s sharing platters. Meat-loving dads will enjoy the 1kg Pfandl ($39) platter which includes succulent Nürnberger sausages, tender pan-seared beef, savoury pork patties, smoked Kassler, roasted pork collar and meatloaf, laid atop a helping of creamy mashed potatoes. Meanwhile, larger families can opt for the World Cup Feast ($98) that comes with a choice of six different tapas and a 3-litre keg of draught beer. #01-149/151 VivoCity, 1 Harbourfront Walk.

For a kid-friendly German Sunday brunch
Perfect for family gatherings, Paulaner Bräuhaus is known for serving up generous portions of authentic German dishes. Swing by on Sunday for a buffet-style brunch (from $58/adult), featuring a wide selection of grilled sausages, crispy grilled pork knuckle, apple strudel and other scrumptious German delights. At the kids’ fun zone, the little ones can show appreciation to dad with a customised Father’s Day trophy and card while the adults sit back and relax. The cherry on top, football-loving dads can catch live screenings of the highly-anticipated Germany vs Mexico match on the bar’s LCD screens. #01-01 Millenia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard. Tel: 6883 2572
For amazing burritos and a variety of Mexican drinks
If dad loves a good burrito, he will love Margarita’s. Topped with creamy guacamole and sour cream, their popular Kitchen Sink Burrito ($24) is packed to the brim with huge chunks of meat, juicy tomatoes and crunchy peppers, making it a great choice for a filling and satisfying dinner. For drinks, go for their refreshing House Margarita (from $17.5) or take your pick from their extensive three-page list of Mexican drinks! 11 Dempsey Rd. Tel: 6471 3228
For Mexican cuisine with a modern twist
Featuring modern Mexican dishes like Tiger Prawn Tempura Tacos (from $15) and Bluefin Tuna Tostada ($21), El Mero Mero is ready to wow diners with their menu. A must-try is the flavourful Atlantic Grilled Octopus ($28) – well-seasoned in garlic paste, it is delightfully soft and springy. #01-20 Chijmes, 30 Victoria St. Tel: 6337 1377
