First, some clarifications. If you are admiring blooms in the Flower Dome and pass by a cafe half camouflaged behind vines and flowers, that will be Hortus. Marguerite is directly below Hortus, accessible by a lift within Hortus. Alternatively, the main entrance to Marguerite is at an obscure corner outside the Flower Dome. For Singaporeans who still remember the restaurant Pollen, Marguerite is that new restaurant that replaced Pollen. Guests are usually escorted to the restaurant via buggy at the Information counter. The service in the restaurant is top tier. There are two choices of menu in Marguerite - omnivore and herbivore. I chose the herbivore menu while hubby took the omnivore one. The meal started with #1 sand carrot and marigold, #2 ratatouille provençale and #3 chewy beetroot, horseradish, apple. I love the burst of flavours for the sand carrot and marigold. Do examine #2 before you bite into it though because if you bite it at a wrong angle, it might hurt your gums. #3 has a subtle sweetness to it that is quite enjoyable. #4 is Apricot and Comté, which, in layman’s terms, is cheese wrapped like a dumpling with an apricot slice. This vegetarian cheese dumpling is beautifully artistically done as you can see. Next is #5 Burrata cucumber, lettuce gazpacho. I took two photos for that because I did not realise they both add up to one dish initially. The burrata feels like pavlova. The cucumber and lettuce gazpacho is yummy! At this point, the waiters decided to bring bread, olive oil and butter. It’s a break in tradition as bread is usually served before the first dish. I wonder if the chef has any specific reason for it. Nonetheless, I must say that the bread is fresh and delicious. #6 is Wild mushroom custard, King brown mushroom, forest garlic, girolle mushroom. By this time, the waiters seemed a bit rushed, prodding us to change our course. They will have to fix this if they hope for another Michelin star next year. Attention to the needs of guests are as important, if not more important, than professional introduction of the course and great attitude. #7 is Roman style artichokes. I cannot say anything about it except that the ingredients are fresh. As for #8 , the 7 year acquerello rice, porcini mushroom, cacao, Piedmont hazelnut; it is essentially risotto. I find it yummy but a little on the salty side. When it came to the ninth course, hubby and I decided to switch dishes. So I had #9 Rhug estate lamb, harissa, chickpea panisse saltbrush. The lamb is cooked three ways. The first is similar to a Turkish kofte, the second is a gastronomic piece of art and the third is a mini steak we are all familiar with. There are three other items on the dish, harissa (I think it is the dark orange paste), chickpea panisse and saltbrush (my guess is the yellow paste). You can mix and match the various food items to your palate’s enjoyment. We had two desserts - #10 White peach, fromage blanc, Persian rose and #11 Pain perdu, Mara des Bois, tonka bean. Somehow, the white peach, fromage blanc, Persian rose reminds me of Mahsa Amini. This is the first and only dish that evoked any emotion in me. The Pain perdu, Mara des Bois, tonka bean tastes nice! Last but not least, there is a selection of coffee or tea served with mignardises, which means bite-sized desserts. We picked only three types but there is a greater variety offered on the tray. The macaron actually taste very good. Better than what I had in Paris. The olive lookalike dessert is also excellent. Overall, the food is very beautiful but you can find tastier food elsewhere in Singapore at a cheaper price. This dinner at Marguerite is easily the most expensive meal I have ever eaten. Comparing the fine dining experience here with another vegetarian fine dining restaurant in Singapore which is about a third of Marguerite’s price, the food in Marguerite does not invoke my imagination or stoke my sensations as strongly as the other restaurant. In any case, that is for the Michelin food critics to decide. I had an enjoyable evening so I am satisfied.

Nestled in the lush surroundings of Gardens by the Bay, Marguerite Singapore @margueriterestaurant offers a refined dining experience where modern European cuisine takes center stage. The menu celebrates seasonal ingredients, blending tradition with innovation to craft dishes that are as visually stunning as they are flavourful. The ambiance is an elegant fusion of nature and sophistication, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the garden views. Whether enjoying a multi-course tasting menu or a glass of wine, Marguerite provides a serene setting perfect for intimate dinners or special celebrations. At Marguerite Singapore, dining is elevated to an art form with their exquisite 7-course menu, priced at $288++ per person, with an optional mixed pairing for $148++. The experience begins with a delicate starter of Marcona almond and Charentais melon, setting the tone for the evening. Followed by the classic flavours of Steak Frites, Ratatouille Provençale, and the rich taste of Aged Yellowtail Kingfish. The intriguing "Duck, Duck, Duck, Cherry" and the traditional Pissaladière with French breakfast radish and Kalamata olive bring a touch of nostalgia to the table. The journey continues with a refreshing Lettuce Gazpacho paired with King Crab, Labneh, and a luxurious touch of Amur Caviar. This is followed by the elegant Roscoff Onion Custard, featuring lily bulb, girolle mushroom, and a jus gras that ties it all together. Seafood lovers will delight in the Obsiblue Prawn Noodles, while the Blue Lobster dish, enhanced with wild garlic capers and kumquat, offers a burst of flavors. The main course, Challan’s Duck, is presented with chou farci, apple, and savoy cabbage, delivering a hearty yet refined finish. For dessert, indulge in the freshness of White Peach with Fromage Blanc and Moroccan Rose, followed by the rich and decadent combination of Black Cherries, Sicilian Pistachio, and Dark Chocolate. The meal concludes with a selection of coffee or tea, served alongside mignardises, leaving you with a sweet memory of an unforgettable dining experience.

Visited in June 2024 for dinner. I tried the Omnivore tasting menu which was a 12 course experience (incl. the starting bites and petit fours). There is an also a herbivore menu for vegetarians if I’m not wrong. There were 2 complementary courses in the Omnivore menu too - a bread course and a cheese course, both of which were not mentioned in the printed menu. From start to finish, every dish brings forth a unique/distinct flavour profile which I enjoyed. The progression of the courses is well thought out, and the portion of the courses is more than fine as I was very full by the end of my meal. The Prawn Noodles and the Lamb main course were my favourite courses. The dessert courses were slightly disappointing to be honest (compared to other 1 star places I’ve visited recently), but the mignardises were really good. For drinks, there are wine pairing and non-alcoholic pairing options available. I went with the non-alcoholic pairing which comprises 6 drinks through the course of the meal, and it was really good. Absolutely loved one of the drinks which was a Blood Orange with rosemary juice. Service is quite good and you are constantly attended to during the meal. The restaurant was also kind to a specific food allergy I had by replacing some ingredients in a couple of courses. All the courses are very well explained by the staff. Overall, Marguerite is a really good restaurant, totally deserving of its 1 star status, and I’d 100% recommend a visit.

Dining at Marguerite is always a treat. Have visited multiple times since Chef Wilson’s arrival when he took over Pollen, usually celebrating a special occasion, but also because his food is so inventive and unique (“noodles” spun from prawn anyone?). Each change in the season brings a new opportunity to check in with how he’s pushing culinary boundaries with his latest creations. He’s clever with flavor and texture, applying a special kind of alchemy bite for delicious bite. Not every...
