Restaurant in Singapore, Singapore
Greenhouse tasting menu that earns its Michelin star.
Marguerite holds a Michelin star (2024) and operates inside Gardens by the Bay's Flower Dome — a setting no other fine-dining room in Singapore can match. The European contemporary tasting menu runs Thursday through Sunday only, with bold, technically grounded cooking and a wine list that includes rare labels from Lebanon and Morocco. Book three to four weeks ahead minimum; weekend dinners fill fast.
Getting a table at Marguerite is harder than the address might suggest. Reservations go fast — the restaurant operates only Thursday through Sunday, with both lunch (12–3 PM) and dinner (6–10:30 PM) seatings, and is fully closed Monday through Wednesday. That four-day window shrinks the available slots considerably, and with a Michelin star earned in 2024, demand has caught up with supply. Book at least three to four weeks out for dinner, longer if you want a weekend slot. The effort is justified: Marguerite is one of the more considered European contemporary dining experiences in Singapore, and the setting inside Gardens by the Bay's Flower Dome adds a dimension that no other Michelin-starred room in the city can replicate.
The Flower Dome is a climate-controlled greenhouse covering more than a hectare, and Marguerite sits within it at ground level (#01-09), surrounded by curated plantings from Mediterranean and semi-arid climates. The spatial effect is immediate: natural light filters through the dome's glass panels, the temperature is cooler than the Singapore humidity outside, and the greenery is present throughout your meal rather than as a backdrop glimpsed through a window. This is not a rooftop view or a skyline dining proposition. It is a garden-immersion format, which means the room's intimacy is botanical rather than architectural. For a food-and-travel enthusiast who has done the standard Singapore fine-dining circuit, this is the room that will feel genuinely different. For a comparison on European contemporary settings globally, venues like IGNIV in Bangkok or Au Jardin in George Town offer strong alternative framings, but neither places you inside a biome.
Marguerite runs a tasting menu format with European contemporary cooking underpinned by technique that, per the Michelin Guide's own assessment, delivers bold flavours capable of holding their own against the visual theatrics of the Flower Dome environment. The courses are formally presented and the kitchen does not shy from flavour intensity — this is not the restrained minimalism of some Nordic-influenced contemporaries. The wine list is a genuine point of difference: the programme includes rare labels from Lebanon and Morocco alongside a broader European selection, which places it well above the standard fine-dining list for range and curiosity. If you prefer not to drink alcohol, the temperance pairing has been noted as substantive rather than an afterthought, which is increasingly rare at this price tier. Service has been described as seamless and personable, which at $$$ pricing is what you need it to be.
For context on how the European contemporary format plays out across the region, The Hall in Chengdu, Ad Astra in Taipei, and EHB in Shanghai each offer a useful reference point for how the cuisine style adapts across Asian cities , but Marguerite's Flower Dome location gives it a frame that none of those venues share.
Marguerite is a tasting-menu restaurant housed inside a climate-controlled greenhouse. The format is not designed for off-premise consumption, and there is no indication that the venue offers delivery or takeout in any formal capacity. This is not a criticism , the food is built around sequence, temperature, and presentation within a specific spatial context. A dish that works as part of a progression inside the Flower Dome will not translate meaningfully into a delivery container. If you are looking for European contemporary cooking to enjoy at home or in a hotel room in Singapore, this is not where to look. Options like Mag's Wine Kitchen operate in a different register and may offer more flexibility. Marguerite is worth booking for the full in-room experience , or not at all.
Lunch on a Thursday or Friday is your leading entry point if the goal is a quieter room. Weekend dinner slots are the hardest to secure and the most crowded, which affects the pace of the Flower Dome experience. The botanical setting means the light quality changes meaningfully across the day: the dome's diffused midday light during lunch creates a different atmosphere than the artificially lit evening service. For a first visit, lunch on a weekday gives you the setting at its most considered and the booking process at its least competitive. Singapore's year-round heat means the Flower Dome's climate-controlled interior is consistently comfortable regardless of season, so there is no particular time of year to prioritise or avoid.
The venue database does not confirm a bar seating arrangement at Marguerite. Given that the restaurant operates a tasting menu format inside the Flower Dome, the configuration lends itself to table-based dining rather than a counter or bar experience. If bar seating matters to you, confirm directly with the restaurant when reserving. For counter-based fine dining in Singapore, Gordon Grill or Vue may offer different seating configurations worth exploring.
Marguerite runs a tasting menu, so the ordering decision is largely made for you , the kitchen sets the progression. The Michelin Guide specifically notes that courses are bold in flavour and technically grounded, designed to hold up against the visual drama of the Flower Dome setting. The wine pairing is worth considering given the list's depth, particularly if rare-region bottles (Lebanon, Morocco) are of interest. If you prefer not to drink, the temperance pairing has been noted as a serious option rather than a placeholder. The one decision worth making in advance: communicate dietary restrictions when booking, as tasting menus have limited flexibility once service begins.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Bar seating is not confirmed for Marguerite. The restaurant operates a structured tasting menu format inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay, which is not a setup that typically accommodates drop-in bar dining. If counter or bar access matters to you, book a full table Thursday through Sunday — that is the only way to guarantee a seat.
There is no à la carte here — Marguerite runs a set tasting menu, so the kitchen decides the progression. The Michelin Guide flags bold, technique-driven courses with flavours strong enough to hold their own against the greenhouse setting. The wine list is worth attention for its rare labels, including bottles from Lebanon and Morocco, and the temperance pairing is a credible alternative if you are skipping alcohol.
