The free breakfast here is over the top and most excellent. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton and enjoyed the buffet breakfast (included in our room rate) here every morning. Superb, intuitive service all around. That breakfast is probably the very best of all that we ever enjoyed. So many stations, nearly everything cooked to order, from dim sum, Malay and Filipino cuisine to Indonesian and all the Western dishes one could possibly imagine. We were so full every day that we skipped lunch. Love that congee / noodle staiton.

Food is good and great attentive service. ambiance is beautiful perfect for gatherjng or special occassion

This buffet is an absolute must do experience in Singapore! Not only does it highlight Singaporean cuisine it does a great job with its Western offerings as well. Of two particular things to note are the beautiful decorated atmosphere and the staff. They do an incredible job with the plates and beverages but also the congenial manager and assistant manager who were an absolute delight.

Nestled within the embrace of The Ritz-Carlton, Colony gracefully unfolds as an epicurean tapestry, weaving a symphony of flavors that tantalize the palate and captivate the senses. Having garnered rave reviews, securing a reservation here akin to snagging a wishbone during the first bite of a Christmas turkey, bordered on the miraculous. My last-minute serendipity, however, paved the way for an experience as extraordinary as the tales whispered of old. The buffet itself was a symphony of culinary delights. Glistening seafood, nestled on beds of crushed ice, beckoned with their briny allure, while a kaleidoscope of colorful salads promised an explosion of flavors. Plump, jewel-toned cheeses and charcuterie slices of unparalleled finesse awaited alongside steaming baskets of dim sum. For the more adventurous palates, aromatic curries whispered of faraway lands, their spice-laden warmth transporting diners to vibrant Indian bazaars. Those seeking comfort found solace in bowls of freshly prepared pasta, each strand a canvas for vibrant sauces that sang with Italianate passion. A noodle station offered comforting bowls of laksa, the rich coconut broth laced with the fragrant whisper of lemongrass, and steaming bowls of pho, the translucent rice noodles cradling slivers of succulent beef. And then, there was dessert. A veritable fantasia of sugary delights, it was a playground for the inner child. Tarts, glistening like jewels, held secrets of citrus and cream. Chocolate pralines, each a decadent bite, whispered promises of pure, unadulterated bliss. Waffles, crisp and golden, awaited their baptism in a molten river of maple syrup, while onde-onde, those little orbs of chewy rice cake, offered a delightful textural contrast. Cookies, macarons, pandan cake, and a kaleidoscope of other confections transformed the dessert station into a Willy Wonka wonderland for grown-ups. Each bite was a tiny explosion of flavor, a testament to the pastry chef's artistry. Of course, no experience is flawless. The tandoori turkey, while flavorful, did veer towards the drier side, a minor misstep in an otherwise flawless performance. The dessert selection, while impressive, could have boasted a wider variety, as could the hot and seafood items. But these were mere whispers of discontent, quickly drowned out by the resounding chorus of delight that played on my palate. At 88 SGD, or roughly $68 USD, the buffet is an investment. Add taxes and the ever-present nudge of gratuity, and you're looking at a cool 105 SGD, or $79 USD. But for an experience that transcends mere sustenance, that elevates the act of eating to an art form, Colony is worth every penny. And as for the Ritz-Carlton itself, well, let's just say that its understated elegance might not quite live up to the opulent standards of its younger, flashier counterparts. Think of it as a comfortable old shoe, well-worn but undeniably reliable, rather than a pair of sky-high stilettos that might leave you with blisters at the end of the night. In the end, Colony's buffet may not be the undisputed champion of Singapore's smorgasbord scene. That crown, for now, rests on the shimmering head of Rise at Marina Bay Sands. But for a delightful, meticulously crafted, and utterly satisfying culinary journey, Colony stands tall, a testament to the fact that sometimes, the most exquisite experiences are found not in the grandest settings, but in the quiet corners, where passion and artistry weave their magic on a plate.

One of the best buffets in Singapore, you get an amazing area of dishes across both western Asian cuisines. The service is impeccable, and the ambience is really good as befits a ritz.

Colony is one the restaurants inside Ritz. They offer buffet lunch/dinner and afternoon tea. I was looking for a place for afternoon tea when we were visiting Singapore. After I saw their menu, this is the one. I made a reservation online and it was easy. The "journey" set included a glass of champagne or cocktail, 6 different savory goodies, unlimited sweets and your choice of tea. The savory items were all very tasty with local twist. They came in good size (not in petite). Our belly were happy and so full. The staff were friendly and the manager also checked on us a couple times. I noticed that they offer limited edition afternoon tea for the season or holiday (lunar new year). Highly recommended!

This is , supposedly, the number one buffet in Singapore right now. It is located inside the Ritz Carlton. I think it came out to about $70~$80 US Dollars. Make a reservation online in order to get in (do in advance by a few weeks). Seating and Dining Area was beautiful. Definitely a bit more luxurious looking inside than that of any Vegas buffet. There are a few stations. I believe there is a staggered rush, but only turn the tables over only once maybe. The seafood area is the closest and is in the center of the dining area. There are delicious and huge fresh prawns, crawfish, clams, mussels, some small snow crab claws, and some super tasty oysters from Japan. There's then a sushi area that has some pretty tasty salmon sashimi and a few other assorted sushis. This gets super packed with people wanting to try the seafood first. Then there's a "u-shaped" back area behind the seafood that has a "roasted meats stall" that is very decorative, as they have a display case and everything. There's also a pasta station - which makes a pretty good seafood miso carbonara (pretty uniquely tasty). The western area isn't very good imho. The indian station is decent, and someone is making fresh naans. The singaporean/asian area was good -- they have chili crab, which is made with soft shell crab. The noodle station was good , with plenty of tasty prawns in it. The guy working was also super nice. Then there's a dim sum area. Drink wise, there are some juices (nothing special, coming out of a box and poured into the cups), along with some desserts. There's a dessert station near the front which had a lot of good stuff from local kuey to macaroons. Give it a try if you're in SG. A good variety of stuff , high quality, and has a good balance of SG classics and non Singaporean stuff.

Colony is THE place for good quality lunch buffet in Singapore. Yesterday was not my first visit but after all these years, pre pandemic and we are still in a pandemic, the price remained somewhat the same. Personally I find the $64 per pax for a lunch buffet reasonable. So after many visits to Colony, what did I notice? FOOD 4/5 The Chinese section (dim sum) of the buffet remained the same. As in, they were not good. They never improved since my first review here. If those dim sum was the same served at their Chinese restaurant Summer Pavilion, rest assured I would never go there for dim sum. So let's name a few items I had: Fried Fish (The Wok section) - the batter was chewy, the fish was somewhat fishy. That's a no for me. Prawns with veggies (can't remember the name, also The Wok section) - 5/5 love it! The prawns were huge and very fresh. Chicken Radish Soup 5/5 So good!! Tasted like what my mom made in the past. Seafood Ramen 4/5 not bad but where were the seafood? Lucky for the patrons at Colony, i do not eat cold seafood, cooked or uncooked. They were standing in line and looking so pleased. I walked past the seafood section, two thumbs up cos they looked very fresh. Good for those who enjoyed them! Chicken Rice -4/5 Good, they nailed the rice of course and poached chicken was soft and tender. Bread & Butter 5/5 - Onion roll was amazing! The butter was as good as MEGGLE, my personal fav. Dessert (Lychee Rose, Mango Pudding, Tiramisu, Pandan Gula Melaka cake and Green Tea tart) - 5/5 I enjoyed every bit of it. Mango juice was so so good!!! 5/5 What to improve?? Pre pandemic their Western section was so good. In fact, that section was my favorite of all. They did away and set up a Grill & Rotisserie section. I found the items unexciting. Sorry! AMBIANCE 5/5 Always love the ambiance at the Colony!! Lots of natural lighting. SERVICE 5/5 ***** Solid 5 stars!! I never had a bad service at Ritz Carlton. Yesterday was another wonderful service provided by their staffs. Jane, Carmela and Kelly were very nice but the MVP went to Iraj. Iraj was very attentive, polite and friendly from the start to finish. He constantly cleared our used plates, checking in on us throughout the lunch, refilling our water. Iraj is the epitome of top notch service at a 5 star hotel. I took my bestie out for lunch since I have not officially took her out to celebrate her acceptance to Stanford. Iraj brought out a beautiful fruit platter with candle and a piece of chocolate saying "Congratulations!" Many thanks Iraj! Look forward to seeing you the next time I visit Colony!!
