About Marguerite
Michael Wilson earned his first Michelin star in Shanghai five months after opening a restaurant there, then brought that precision to a glasshouse in Singapore. Marguerite sits inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay, a climate-controlled greenhouse where the dining room looks out over olive trees and seasonal blooms. The Australian chef-patron took a Michelin star here in the 2022 Singapore guide and has held it since. The Obsiblue prawn noodles are the dish people book a month ahead to eat.
The Kitchen
Michael Wilson cooks what the guide files as modern European and what he calls modern Australian: produce-led, technically exact, built on tasting menus that turn with the seasons. The signature is the Obsiblue prawn noodles, the sweet New Caledonian prawn laid over fine handmade pasta, a dish that has followed Wilson across two countries. Dessert closes on the Marguerite Opera, a layered tribute to the room.
The format is a four-course lunch from S$148 and a seven-course dinner from S$288, poured against a wine list that leans European with Australian depth. The dated proof is the one Michelin star awarded in the 2022 Singapore guide and retained through 2025. Wilson plates for the glasshouse he works in, light and green, never heavy.

The Room
The setting is the headline: a corner of the Flower Dome turned into a dining room, glass on three sides, the greenhouse light shifting from gold to dusk across a meal. Sound stays conversation-easy, the tables generously spaced, the lighting dim and warm once the dome darkens. Dress is smart, jacket optional but most men wear one. Seating is intimate, around forty covers, so the room never roars. For a proposal the window tables facing the garden are the seats to request when you book.
Best for a Proposal
Book a window table at Marguerite for a proposal because the room is built to hold a moment: glass walls onto a private garden, generous spacing so the table next door cannot eavesdrop, and a kitchen that will pace the Marguerite Opera dessert to your timing if you tip off the maitre d'. The seven-course menu gives you three unhurried hours. Few rooms in Singapore feel this private while still putting on a show outside the glass.
Not for
Not for a quick or budget meal. The shortest menu runs four courses, dinner starts at S$288 before wine, and the Flower Dome location means a deliberate trip to Marina Bay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Marguerite worth it?
Yes, for a special occasion. You are paying for a one-Michelin-star kitchen and a setting no other Singapore restaurant can match, the Flower Dome glasshouse. Michael Wilson's cooking is precise and produce-led, and the Obsiblue prawn noodles justify the trip on their own. For a regular weeknight dinner it is a lot of effort and money; for a proposal or anniversary it earns every dollar.
How hard is it to book Marguerite?
Plan ahead. Dinner books three to four weeks out, and the window tables facing the garden go first. Reserve direct through the restaurant and ask for a garden-facing seat when you do. Lunch at S$148 is an easier get and a smart way to see the room for less if dinner is full.
What is the dress code at Marguerite?
Smart. There is no hard jacket requirement, but most diners dress up, and the room rewards it. Think collared shirts, dresses, polished smart-casual at a minimum. The glasshouse setting is romantic and a little formal, so leave the shorts and flip-flops for the gardens outside.
What should I order at Marguerite?
Choose the seven-course dinner menu to see Michael Wilson's full range, and make sure the Obsiblue prawn noodles are on it, his signature across two countries. Finish with the Marguerite Opera dessert. Add the wine pairing if you want the European-leaning cellar to do its work alongside the food.
Diner Reviews
Wei L.November 2025
Occasion: Proposal
Proposed at a window table as the dome lights dimmed. The team paced the dessert to the moment after I gave them a quiet heads up. The Obsiblue prawn noodles were the best single dish of the year for us. Worth every cent and the trip out to Marina Bay.
Amanda C.September 2025
Occasion: First Date
Did the lunch menu first to test the room and came back for dinner. The glasshouse is genuinely unlike anywhere else in Singapore and the cooking is exact without being fussy. Spacing between tables made it easy to actually talk.
Reserve direct through the Marguerite site. Dinner books out 3 to 4 weeks ahead; window tables in the Flower Dome go first.
