Marguerite

Marguerite is a modern Australian fine dining restaurant inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay. Australian chef Michael Wilson cooks set tasting menus built around produce from his home country. The restaurant holds one Michelin star, first awarded in 2022, less than a year after it opened.

Wilson was born in Melbourne. He worked with chef Guy Grossi and at Cutler & Co before moving to Asia, where he won a Michelin star for a hotel restaurant in Shanghai. He created Marguerite with Unlisted Collection, a hospitality group he also partnered with on Hortus. Herman Lim is the chef de cuisine.

What to order

There is no à la carte menu. You choose between a shorter lunch menu, the Discovery menu in the evening and the longer Signature menu. Dishes change with the seasons, so treat the names below as a guide.

• Wild red kangaroo pho: it appears on every current menu, and the MICHELIN Guide singles it out. The broth is made from kangaroo tail cooked slowly for 12 hours.
• Smoked eel with Coffin Bay oyster: on the Discovery and Signature menus, served with Amur caviar, seablite and karkalla, two coastal plants.
• Spencer Gulf kingfish crudo: with golden beetroot, finger lime and buttermilk.
• Mount Schanck lamb saddle: the main course, with full-blood wagyu sirloin offered as an upgrade.
• Strawberry gum and Mara des Bois vacherin: a dessert that pairs a native Australian leaf with French strawberries.

Sommelier wine pairings are available with every menu. The lunch and Discovery menus also offer an alcohol-free temperance pairing.

The setting

The restaurant sits on the ground floor of the Flower Dome, and the garden setting shapes the mood. Two large hand-carved boulders anchor the dining room. The handmade furniture has a clean Scandinavian look, and the tables are topped with white marble.

Three kitchen islands stand in the dining room itself, so you can watch the chefs finish each course. A private dining room seats up to 10 guests, decorated in blue, burgundy, grey and forest green to recall mountain scenery.

Good to know before you go

• Dinner is served Wednesday to Sunday, and lunch Thursday to Sunday.
• The dining room is kept at about 20°C, and the restaurant suggests dressing for cool spring weather. Bring a light layer.
• The restaurant can only cater for children aged 12 and above.
• The kitchen cannot adapt menus for vegan, coeliac, dairy-free, allium-free or ovomucoid (egg protein) restrictions. Raise other needs when you book.
• To book, use the reservation link on the official website.
