As for what flavors to expect, our selection has it all: from local Singaporean street food to French fine dining, classic Chinese delicacies to lavish international buffets. Read on to tantalize your taste buds and discover all the great restaurants at Marina Bay in Singapore.

1. CUT By Wolfgang Puck

Swanky steakhouse offering mouthwatering cuts

Good for: Food

Meat lovers with some cash to splash should look no further than CUT By Wolfgang Puck, located in the Marina Bay Sands resort. As a chef, it’s always a bold (or egotistical) move to include your own name in the title of your restaurant. But many (including us), consider this to be the best steakhouse in town, so Mr Puck more than gets away with it.

Expect only the freshest and finest cuts of beef such as American sirloin, ribeye, and filet, as well as Australian Angus and Japanese Wagyu, all cooked to perfection (you won’t find a “well-done” steak here) in some rather swanky surroundings. Read more

4. Summer Pavilion

Modern Cantonese dishes in Marina Bay

Good for: Couples, Families, Food, Luxury

Summer Pavilion presents a dining experience in exclusive surroundings, with food that couldn’t fail to match. Serving a Cantonese-inspired set lunch and dinner, we were particularly blown away by the likes of the marinated duck roll with jellyfish, as well as their double-boiled lobster soup.

Certainly, this is a dining experience that is about as posh as you’ll find in Singapore. You can easily find it inside the Ritz Carlton-Millenia on the famous Raffles Avenue, just a short walk from Promenade MRT.

Singapore’s incredible food truck and hawker culture

Good for: Couples, Families, Food

One of the best budget-friendly dining options at Marina Bay is Makansutra Gluttons Bay, a collection of food vendors and push-carts that serve up an array of popular Singapore street food. Bask in the breezy outdoor ambiance by the mouth of the Singapore River next to the Esplanade whilst tucking into favorites such as the fried oyster omelet, satay chicken, and Laksa.

It’s the sights, sounds, and smells, reminiscent of old Singapore, set against a scintillating modern backdrop of the Marina skyline that makes it an unforgettable experience. Add a nice cold beer or fruit shake into the equation and you might just have found one of your new favorite Singapore spots.

6. CE LA VI Restaurant

Wonderful food with spectacular views

Good for: Couples, Families, Food

One of the highest, as well as swankiest, restaurants in Singapore, is at CE LA VI, at the top of the Marina Bay Sands complex. Though more famed for its nightlife scene, CE LA VI also does a great range of al la carte dishes, all tasty and pretty enough to take your attention away from that view.

Our favorites include the rack of medium-rare lamb, the sushi sets, and there are a few tasty desserts too. Just like the cocktails, most dishes are reasonably priced, though you could easily spend more if you delve into their extensive range of fine wines. Find CE LA VI in the SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands.

Delicious seafood on the seafront

Good for: Couples, Families, Food

The long-running Palm Beach Seafood restaurant, just a short walk from Singapore’s famous Merlion, boasts stunning views that don’t require an elevator ride. The ground-floor only restaurant has inside and outside seating, and you’d be silly not to try their famous Singapore chili crab. Palm Beach Seafood is supposedly where this iconic dish was first created.

Elsewhere on the menu are a variety of prawn, lobster, and shellfish dishes cooked in a variety of Asian-inspired ways. Most meat is priced per kilo and is subject to fluctuation, but Palm Beach Seafood is known to fall into the midrange price category, great when you consider the views and the quality of ingredients.

Come here to try the local delicacies, chicken rice, satay, and kaya toast, as well as the other dishes that make up the varied cuisine on offer in Singapore.

Though there are plenty of places to try these dishes, Lau Pa Sat is the ideal location to find them all under one roof, and the setting is far more romantic than most hawker centers, especially at night when the satay vendors set up stalls outside. Read more

There’s also an onsite bar and plenty of other food stalls if you’re not a fan of satay. Find it by entering Gardens by the Bay (free) and follow the signposted route along the water’s edge, or jump on the free shuttle bus.

There are multiple TWG tea rooms in Singapore, where you can get a treat and a cuppa. Be aware that TWG is extremely popular though, with the crowds coming in the early afternoon for their traditional tea and cake sets, so it is worth booking ahead.

Brewed strictly according to the German purity law of 1516, Paulaner beers are always tapped fresh and in a variety of styles: pale or dark lager and seasonal ones such as Salvator, Maibock, and Oktoberfest Bier. The food is equally authentic and robust like the hog roast, pork knuckles, and sausages made from recipes in Munich.

13. Bread Street Kitchen Singapore

Gordon Ramsay’s “informal” Singapore eatery

Good for: Couples, Families, Food

Gordon Ramsey’s Bread Street Kitchen at Marina Bay Sands presents an informal dining experience alongside modern European food, with signature touches from the multi-Michelin star affiliated chef.

Located in one of Singapore’s most iconic buildings, Marina Bay Sands, this was always going to be a classy affair, no matter how much Ramsey claims the whole dining experience is “informal.” The snazzy black and white tiled floor, exposed ceiling, and comfy leather booths all help to create an exclusive “New York loft” feel, but the good news is that the a la carte menu is actually sensibly priced, a bit of a rarity for celebrity chef restaurants in Singapore.

Location: 10 Bayfront Ave, B1/01-81 The Shoppes, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018956

Open: Monday–Wednesday from noon to 9.30 pm, Thursday–Friday from noon to 10.30 pm, Saturday from 11.30 am to 10.30 pm, Sunday from 11.30 am to 9.30 pm
