Maison Boulud by Daniel Boulud
Maison Boulud by Daniel Boulud sits in The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, where French bistro elegance feels special without being stiff. Their roast chicken, simply called Poulet, is a free-range bird slow-roasted on the rotisserie until the skin is crisp and the meat stays juicy. It arrives on a piperade stew bright with thyme, rosemary, and a hit of citrus – the kind of plate you book a date night for, lah. The restaurant holds a Michelin Guide nod, so you know the Poulet is properly done. For a proper sit-down, come for lunch (12pm–2:15pm weekdays) or dinner until 9:45pm; Maison Boulud also does a relaxed weekend brunch from 11:30am. Bayfront MRT is a few minutes’ stroll away. Address: 2 Bayfront Avenue, #B1-15 and #01-83, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018972. Phone: +65 6688 6088.
If you’re marking an anniversary or just want to treat yourself after a long week, this is the one. The chicken is damn shiok.
This is your anniversary-card moment. The dining room feels atas without making you paiseh, so you can lean in and enjoy that citrus-bright piperade pooling under the bird. Go when you want French bistro polish and a chicken that justifies dressing up – the free-range flavour comes through, no act blur about it.
CUT by Wolfgang Puck
CUT by Wolfgang Puck is the steakhouse at Marina Bay Sands that also knows how to nail a baby chicken. Their Baby Chicken Cooked on Rotisserie comes with wild field mushrooms and a natural jus that brings out the earthy, roasted flavour. It might not be the main star on a menu built around prime beef, but it holds its own – tender meat, crisped skin, and that Michelin-star attention to detail. The restaurant has held one Michelin star since 2016, so even the side dishes are executed with care. CUT is open for dinner only, 5pm to 10pm daily, with drinks from 4pm. Bayfront MRT is close by, so arriving is straightforward. Find them at 10 Bayfront Avenue, B1-71 Galleria Level, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018956. Phone: +65 6688 8517. Website: CUT by Wolfgang Puck.
This is the pick for a serious steak fan who wants to bring along a chicken lover, or anyone craving a refined, grown-up evening where everything on the plate is executed properly.
Come for the steak, stay for this baby chicken. It quietly proves that a Michelin-star kitchen doesn’t need a marquee protein to show its hand. Book this when one person wants a serious beef cut and the other wants poultry that still gets the full rotisserie respect. The mushroom jus ties everything together.
Yardbird Southern Table Bar
Yardbird Southern Table Bar brings a dose of American South comfort to Marina Bay Sands. The Roasted Young Hen gets a spice rub of paprika, thyme, rosemary, and crushed chillies, and the meat comes out luscious each time. Chimichurri on the side keeps things lively, while fingerling potatoes soak up all the juices. Time Out Miami named it Best American Restaurant, and the Singapore outpost keeps those standards. It’s the kind of roast chicken you sink your teeth into on a lazy weekend, especially during their brunch from 11am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. They’re at 2 Bayfront Avenue, #B1-07, Singapore 018972, reachable at +65 6688 9959 or [email protected]. Open Monday to Thursday 11:30am–10pm, Friday and Saturday till 11pm, Sunday 11am–10pm. Bayfront MRT is a short walk away. Details at Yardbird Southern Table Bar.
Perfect for families or big groups who want generous portions and a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere. If you’ve been on a fried chicken kick, our Korean Fried Chicken in Singapore list might call your name too.

Gather your kakis when comfort is non-negotiable. The spice rub brings paprika warmth without shouting, and the chimichurri keeps each bite lively. This is the table for a loud, long dinner where nobody wants to share – except you probably should, because those fingerling potatoes soaking up the juices are too good to hoard ownself.
BLOSSOM
BLOSSOM is inside the Marina Bay Sands Hotel Lobby Tower 2, and it’s where you go for roast chicken done the Chinese way. The Roasted Crispy Chicken is marinated in spices and roasted to that shatteringly crisp skin, paired cleverly with Pu’Erh tea for a unique caramelised depth that feels both traditional and fresh. The restaurant is a World Luxury Restaurant Awards winner, and that attention to texture and balance shows on the plate. The dining room is refined but comfortable – ideal for a family dinner where you want to impress the elders without going full banquet. Lunch runs 11am–4:30pm, dinner 5:30pm–11pm daily. It’s a short walk from Bayfront MRT. Address: 2 Bayfront Avenue, Tower 2 Lobby, Singapore 018972. Call +65 6688 7799 or email [email protected]. Website: BLOSSOM.
If you’re after roast chicken with that classic Chinese crispy-skin satisfaction and a side of elegance, this is the place you’ll want to bring your parents to.
When you crave that shatteringly crisp skin done the Chinese way, this is your stop. It’s tucked inside the hotel lobby, so you get proper aircon and polished service without the rooftop markup. Come with parents or business visitors – the Pu’Erh tea pairing adds a caramelised depth that feels thoughtful, not wayang.
CÉ LA VI Restaurant
CÉ LA VI Restaurant sits on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3, and the view is very much part of the meal. Their Half Roasted Chicken brings a gentle smokiness, paired with a bacon mousseline-stuffed wing and fresh kale – umami and crisp in every bite. High TripAdvisor ratings reflect how well that view and the food work together. It’s the spot to book if you’re celebrating a milestone or showing a visitor why Singapore’s skyline is legendary. Dinner runs 5:30pm to midnight daily, with Saturday brunch from 11:30am to 3pm. From Bayfront MRT, follow signs to Marina Bay Sands and take the elevator to the SkyPark. Location: 1 Bayfront Avenue, Level 57, Tower 3, Singapore 018971. Phone: +65 6508 2188. Check CÉ LA VI Restaurant for updates.
Die die must try at least once, if only to say you had roast chicken fifty-seven floors up. The chicken is solid, and the rooftop atmosphere turns it into a memory.
Save this for the visitor who thinks they’ve seen every Singapore skyline photo. Half a roasted chicken, a clever bacon mousseline-stuffed wing, and that sweep of city lights from Level 57 – it’s the package deal. The price reflects the altitude, and on a milestone evening, the maths works. Just book ahead.
Poulet
Poulet has several outlets across the island, but the one at Bugis (201 Victoria Street, #04-12, Singapore 188067) is a reliable stop when you want a properly brined roast chicken without the hefty price tag. The birds are brined for a whole day and spun on the rotisserie until golden; you pick your sauce – Chardonnay cream or cranberry gravy – and tuck in. Bugis MRT is nearby, making it a convenient stop after shopping. Open daily 11:30am–10pm. Phone: +65 6509 9411. Website: Poulet.
This is budget-friendly and steady. If you’re too sian to cook and just want a satisfying roast chicken dinner, it gets the job done nicely. While you’re in the area, our guide to Food Places in Suntec City has even more casual eats nearby.
The everyday winner. A full 24-hour brine, rotisserie-crisped skin, and your pick of Chardonnay cream or cranberry gravy – at a price that lets you eat out on a Tuesday without the guilt. Bugis MRT is steps away, so it’s a chop-chop decision after shopping. Same comfort, no ribbon, wallet still breathing.
LeVeL33
LeVeL33 perches on the 33rd floor of Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, combining a working craft brewery with a British-Italian kitchen. Their Poussin is a small roast chicken bathed in Marsala cream and pancetta, served on fregola with a touch of mustard oil – indulgent and aromatic. Pair it with one of the house-brewed beers and the views over Marina Bay, and you’ve got an evening. The brewery’s poussin is a favourite among those who appreciate a good beer pairing, and Downtown MRT is just a few minutes away. Open daily from 12pm to 11pm. Address: 8 Marina Boulevard, #33-01, Singapore 018981. Phone: +65 6834 3133. Head to LeVeL33 for bookings.
This is the choice for a chill after-work date where both the beer and the bird get it right. No need to dress up too much, just come as you are and enjoy.

How to choose
Start with the occasion. If it’s a celebration, CÉ LA VI’s rooftop and Maison Boulud’s polished French dining feel properly special. For a loud, fun family meal, Yardbird or Poulet suit better. CUT and BLOSSOM sit in the middle – refined but not intimidating. Then think about the chicken style: Chinese crispy skin and tea pairing at BLOSSOM, French rotisserie with sauce at Poulet, spiced and hearty at Yardbird, or elegant European twists at CUT and LeVeL33.
Views add a lot. If a skyline backdrop matters, CÉ LA VI and LeVeL33 deliver. Maison Boulud and Yardbird offer lively bistro energy, while BLOSSOM is calm and elegant. CUT has a sophisticated steakhouse mood. Budget-wise, Poulet is the clear everyday pick; the rest fall into splurge territory, with dinner for two roughly from mid double-digits to a few hundred dollars, depending on how much you order and drink. Reservations are wise for all except Poulet, where walk-ins are usually okay off-peak. Weekends fill up fast – for Maison Boulud and CUT, book at least a week ahead.

Frequently asked questions
This poussin swims in Marsala cream with pancetta, and the whole plate feels like a pub upgrade with a view. Come for the craft beer and stay for the fregola soaking up every drop of the sauce. It’s an evening spot where you can talk business or just lepak – the brewery setting keeps things grounded, even on the 33rd floor.
Are these roast chicken restaurants halal?
Most are not halal-certified. Poulet does not state halal certification publicly, so it is best to confirm directly with the restaurant. If you require halal options, our guide to halal places to eat may be more helpful.
Which restaurant is best for a special occasion?
Maison Boulud, CÉ LA VI and BLOSSOM all offer refined settings. CÉ LA VI’s rooftop view is especially memorable, while Maison Boulud feels intimate and polished. CUT’s Michelin-starred experience also sets a sophisticated tone.
Do I need to make a reservation?

Not always. Maison Boulud serves a whole bird, while CUT offers a baby chicken and many places serve half portions. It is best to check the current menu when you book.
What is the most budget-friendly choice?
Poulet is the most affordable, with casual pricing for its rotisserie chicken meals. It’s a reliable everyday option when you want good roast chicken without a hefty bill.
Do these restaurants cater to diners who don’t want chicken?
