Priority Pass and DragonPass are better known for lounge access, but both programmes have been diligently signing up non-lounge partners like restaurants and spas across the globe to supplement their offerings.
Priority Pass was the first to offer restaurant options at Singapore Changi Airport, but DragonPass hasn’t been sleeping either, with the two programmes now covering 18 cafes, eateries and bars across four terminals. While some are common to both programmes, others are exclusive to one or the other.
๐ก Priority Pass = LoungeKey |
Do note that Priority Pass and LoungeKey have the same parent company, and therefore their visit entitlements are the same. Everywhere you read “Priority Pass” in this article, you can substitute “LoungeKey”. |
In this post I’ll compiled everything you need to know about the 18 restaurants on offer, including location, opening hours, entitlements, and of course, the all-important menus
How it works
What am I entitled to?
Priority Pass and DragonPass members can redeem one lounge visit entitlement at participating restaurants for either:
- A set menu (Priority Pass & Dragon Pass), or
- A fixed credit that can be spent on a la carte menu items (Priority Pass only)
If you have a guest, a further visit will be deducted and the same benefit accorded.
How often can I utilise the entitlements?
Both programmes set caps on the maximum restaurant entitlements you can redeem within a given period:
- Priority Pass: one set meal or fixed credit transaction every 24 hours (at the same restaurant)
- DragonPass: one set meal transaction every five hours (across all restaurants)
- Exception: HSBC TravelOne Cardholders are limited to one set meal transaction every two hours (across all restaurants)
Priority Pass is much more liberal in this respect. Even though you can only make a single transaction (for yourself, or yourself + guests) at a given restaurant every 24 hours, there’s nothing stopping you from visiting multiple restaurants consecutively. In contrast, DragonPass limits you to one redemption every five hours, so you can’t go on a binge.ย
Can I redeem a guest visit even without a guest?
If you have aย Priority Pass or DragonPass with unlimited visit entitlements plus one guest, you might be tempted to get double the set meals or credits at a given restaurant.ย
By right, you must presentย one boarding pass per entitlement redemption, so if you’re travelling solo, you can’t use your guest allowance. By left, some restaurants don’t really care (it’s free money for them after all).

Conclusion
Priority Pass and DragonPass members have access to 18 different restaurants across Changi Airport’s four terminals, where they’ll either enjoy a set menu or dining credit.
Some are obviously better than others; I do like Jones the Grocer very much and would recommend it in a heartbeat, but many others look very middling based on the Google reviews, and I’d only be willing to try it if I had an unlimited-visit pass.ย
hi, anyone here have experience been charged when using amex platinum but + 2 guest?
i have tried several times +2 guest, in singapore, dubai , and istanbul, all fine. not being charged a penny to the credit card.
Amex does not include restaurants
Hi aaron, to clarify does that means that each visit to the restaurant will deduct one visit from your Priority Pass entitlement?
Yes – each visit counts as one PP use,
Hi
For priority pass members whose card allows unlimited visits plus one guest, can you visit one of the restaurants mentioned above and followed by a lounge visit on the same day. Is there any restrictions or you are allowed only one visit i.e either the restaurant or lounge?
Yes – on an unlimited DP/PP pass, you can visit as many restaurants and lounges as you like within the same day (subject to time limits for visiting same lounges – usually at least 6 hours apart).
So you’re at the airport 5 hours earlier then you can restaurant-hop to eat at 4-6 restaurants then go to 3-4 lounges for drinks/food before you board your flight. That’s the beauty of an unlimited DP/PP pass. And yes – its all free!
Great. Thanks for the reply.
i understand that amex PP does not allow the use of restuarants? Why is it even listed in this website and review?
Great journalism!! You event went down to take pics of all the menus ๐๐ป
For Nam Nam at T3, the set meal does include a drink now – local coffee or tea.
Is the max redemption at a restaurant always +1 guest? If we are a family of 4, can I redeem + 3 guests using the cards with 4 visits entitlement?
