Lime Restaurant

Lime Restaurant is the all-day dining restaurant at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, a garden hotel on Upper Pickering Street. It is best known for its buffets, which mix local favourites with international dishes. There is also an à la carte menu for smaller appetites.

The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Alvin Leong, who has more than 25 years of experience. His cooking draws on Asian, Peranakan and European styles.

The buffets

Lime serves a daily lunch buffet. In the evening, the Seafood Symphony buffet dinner puts the focus on fresh seafood. On weekends, an afternoon buffet called Cheers O'Clock fills the gap between lunch and dinner.

Stations named by the hotel include seafood on ice, carved meats, a Josper charcoal grill, Peranakan dishes and a dessert table. The signature dish is the Pickering Lobster Laksa, a lobster version of Singapore's spicy coconut noodle soup. Eatbook's 2023 review says it is cooked to order.

The same review found Japanese oysters, a sushi counter and a roast section with beef, pork and Hainanese chicken at lunch. Dishes change through the year, so treat these as examples rather than a fixed list. The hotel also runs special festive buffets at the end of the year.

The setting

The dining room is big and bright, with tall ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass that brings in daylight. Three open kitchens let you watch the chefs at work. With 179 seats, the restaurant suits big groups and family meals.

The hotel itself is known for its sky gardens, designed by the architects WOHA. It also has an urban farm, and Eatbook reported in 2023 that it supplies herbs, vegetables and edible flowers to the kitchen. The hotel holds one MICHELIN Key in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide.
