Best Private Dining Rooms in Singapore 2026
Private rooms for 4-30 · Singapore · 5 ranked · Updated May 2026
Compiled by the Restaurants for Kings editorial team · Published February 25, 2026 · Updated May 18, 2026
Behind a black-and-gold lacquer screen on the 35th floor of the Hilton, a private Sichuan banquet can run for twenty without a single other table in earshot. Singapore does the private dining room better than most cities its size, because so much of the fine-dining map sits inside Cantonese banquet halls and hotel restaurants built around enclosed rooms in the first place. A good private room here buys three things at once: a door that closes, a set menu agreed in advance, and a minimum spend instead of a per-head surprise. These five, ranked on the cooking behind the door rather than the size of the room, are the Singapore private dining rooms worth the booking deposit in 2026.
1.Les Amis
Singapore's only three-star French, four private rooms and a chef's table for six. Book it for the dinner of the year.
Les Amis is Singapore's only three-Michelin-starred French restaurant, in Shaw Centre at the top of Orchard Road, and it holds the deepest private-room setup in the city. There are four: a ground-floor chef's table for six that looks into the kitchen through glass beside the wine cellar, and three mezzanine rooms that combine into one long table for up to thirty-six.
Sebastien Lepinoy cooks classical French at the highest level, with signatures like the cold angel-hair pasta with Oscietra caviar and the pigeon. Expect around S$400 to S$500 a head before wine in the private rooms, the steepest on this list and worth it for the occasion. It has held three stars in recent guides. Book the chef's table for a small group that wants the kitchen view, or the mezzanine for a formal dinner of a dozen or more.
Book direct on the Les Amis site; the chef's table seats six by the kitchen.
2.Waku Ghin
Tetsuya Wakuda's salons seat your party at a private counter from the start. Reserve for an intimate celebration.
Waku Ghin is built as private dining from the ground up. Tetsuya Wakuda's one-Michelin-starred room at Marina Bay Sands seats each small party at its own private counter for the opening courses before moving them to a dining room, so the privacy is the format rather than an add-on.
The signature is the botan ebi with sea urchin and oscietra caviar, and the full experience runs around S$450 a head before drinks. The salons suit four to eight, which makes it the intimate option on this list rather than a banquet room. It holds one star in the current guide. Book directly through Marina Bay Sands dining for a small celebration where the whole party wants the chef to themselves, and ask which salon suits your numbers.
Book through Marina Bay Sands dining; the salons suit four to eight.
3.Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro
Six private rooms for six to twenty and a chef's table, two-star Sichuan. Book it for a banquet with heat.
Chen Kentaro's two-Michelin-starred Shisen Hanten, on Level 35 of Hilton Singapore Orchard, is the strongest banquet option in the city, with six private rooms seating six to twenty and a chef's table for the most immersive setting. The black-and-gold rooms are built for the Chinese banquet, a wedding lunch or a corporate dinner with the door closed.
The cooking is refined Sichuan in the Chen family line, with the family mapo tofu and the ebi chilli prawns as the signatures and a set banquet that runs around S$150 to S$250 a head. It has held two stars consistently. The Level 35 setting gives a skyline backdrop to a private table, and the kitchen handles large set menus and dietary requests with the polish you would expect of a hotel. Book three to four weeks ahead for a weekend banquet.
Book direct on the Shisen Hanten site; the rooms seat six to twenty.
4.Burnt Ends
A private room off the live-fire kitchen, the hardest table in town made bookable. Reserve two months out for a group.
Burnt Ends solved its own scarcity problem with a private dining room when it moved to Dempsey Hill in 2022. Dave Pynt's one-Michelin-starred barbecue is among the hardest reservations in Singapore, and the private room beside the open kitchen, the bakery and the bar is a rare way to book the whole experience for a group rather than chasing single counter seats.
The cooking is modern Australian over wood, with the pulled-pork 'Burnt Ends sanger' and the smoked beef marmalade as fixtures, and group menus that run from around S$268 a head. It holds one Michelin star in the 2025 guide and a long run on Asia's 50 Best. The room books out fastest of any on this list, so plan one to two months ahead, and let the kitchen build a feasting menu around the fire.
Book direct on the Burnt Ends site; the private room needs one to two months.
5.Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine
Cantonese private rooms built for the banquet, Peking duck carved at the table. Pencil it in for a family celebration.
Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine is a one-Michelin-starred Cantonese room with private spaces built for the banquet, from intimate ROM lunches to larger family tables, with branches at ION Orchard and Great World. The kitchen is run by the group's long-serving Cantonese team rather than a single celebrity chef, and the private rooms are the reason regulars book it for milestones.
The signatures are the Peking duck, carved at the table, and the roast meats, with banquet menus that run around S$100 to S$200 a head, the gentlest spend on this list. The Cantonese banquet format makes it the most flexible room here for a large, multi-generation party. It has held its star in recent guides. Book two to three weeks ahead, agree the set menu in advance, and pre-order the duck.
Book direct on the Imperial Treasure site; pre-order the Peking duck.
Avoid for a private dinner
No real door, or no real privacy
Odette, for a closed-door party. Odette's main room is a single open dining room, and its private space is small, so a party of twelve will sit among other diners rather than behind a closed door. Book it for an extraordinary meal for two or four, not for a private banquet that needs its own room.
The mall steakhouses with a 'private' nook. Several Orchard and Marina Bay steakhouses market a curtained-off corner as a private room. You will hear the next table all night and share the dining-room noise, so for real privacy take one of the enclosed rooms above instead.
How to book a Singapore private dining room
Private rooms run on minimum spends and set menus rather than a per-head booking, so the conversation starts with your numbers and your budget. The Cantonese halls, Imperial Treasure and the hotel banquet rooms at Shisen Hanten, flex easily from six to twenty or more and will build a set menu to a per-table or per-head minimum. The fine-dining rooms are tighter: Les Amis seats up to thirty-six across its combined mezzanine but as few as six at the chef's table, and Waku Ghin's salons suit four to eight. Expect a deposit to hold any private room, and a signed set menu agreed in advance.
Lead time is the variable that catches people out. Burnt Ends' private room books out fastest, one to two months for a weekend, while the hotel banquet rooms and Cantonese halls usually need three to four weeks for a large party. Corporate hosts should ask about AV and a screen up front, because not every room has them built in. Confirm dietary needs and any cake or wine corkage when you sign the menu, not on the night, and ask whether the minimum spend is before or after the service charge and GST so the final bill holds no surprises.
