What to eat at Jewel Changi 2026: best food by level and budget

By Changi Food Map · Published

A&W burgers and fried chicken in a basket at the A&W restaurant in Jewel Changi Airport Basement 2

For value at Jewel Changi Airport, eat in the basements: Food Republic, A&W, Tian Tian and Song Fa. For a sit-down meal, go up to Levels 2 to 5 for Shake Shack, PS.Cafe, Din Tai Fung, Tsuta or Kantin. Jewel's roughly 115 food outlets are all in the public area, so you don't need a boarding pass.

We checked unit numbers and opening times against the Jewel dining directory on 7 November 2026. Prices are what Eatbook and Mothership paid when they visited, so use them as a rough guide. "++" means service charge and GST are added on top.

Basement 2: Food Republic, A&W and the snack row

Basement 2 is the cheapest floor. Food Republic (#B2-238 to 240) closed in April 2026 for upgrading and reopened on 3 July with a 1970s street food look. Eatbook counted 14 new stalls, four of them from Michelin Bib Gourmand brands. Try LiXin Teochew Fishball Noodles ($8.60), chwee kueh from Jian Bo Shui Kueh (from $3.80 for five), Na Na Homemade Curry, or Ai Shan Claypot Express, which is new to Singapore. Jewel lists the food court as open 8am to 10:30pm, and to 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

With kids, and after 10pm

With children, Food Republic lets everyone choose their own meal. The conveyor belt at Sushiro keeps toddlers busy, Royal Host serves family-style Japanese food, and ActionCity Café on Level 4 is near Pokémon Center Singapore. Jewel says it has baby care rooms on every level from B2 to L4. There are no Pokémon-themed menus at Jewel this season, but the Pokémon Center on Level 4 is a short walk from ActionCity Café.

Jewel has no 24-hour food court. After 10pm you can still eat at The Coffee Bean (24 hours), Beauty in the Pot (to 3am), A&W and McDonald's (to midnight), Kantin and Arteastiq (to 11pm, or midnight at weekends), and Shake Shack (to 10:30pm). For later meals, cross to the terminals: see 24-hour food at Changi.
