John Anthony

This one is for the fathers who love Cantonese seafood, but care to know about where it comes from and its environmental impact. John Anthony recently launched its Sustainably Sourced Set Menu priced at $750 per person (for a minimum of two), that will be available right through June. The restaurant has always prided itself on its ethical food practices and you can expect dishes like the Szechuan pan-seared Australian scallops with cucumber salad, veggie and beetroot dumplings and stir-fried famed spotted garoupa. Be sure to talk to your children about being environmentally-friendly (point out the plastic-free straws and reclaimed flooring of the restaurant), while they enjoy the special kids’ meal that will be available on the day.

Statement

For all the Brit expat fathers out there who aren’t going home this summer, Statement’s Britannia brunch is where they can sink their teeth into good old home cooked food.

That’s not all – Scottish whisky and artisan chocolate tasting is also a part of this deal that’s priced at $628 per person. It includes free-flow Veuve Clicquot Champagne and classic British cocktails. Plus if you book brunch for six or more people on Father’s Day, you get a Lane Crawford gift card worth $1,000 (gift sorted, thank you very much)!
