CÉ LA VI

Although recommended by friends, very disappointed with the food. Very expensive, with small taste-​less portions.
Go for a drink (also expensive) and the view, eat somewhere else.

Eine der höchsten Bars in Singapur auf dem 57. Stock des Marina Bay Sands. Hochkommt man am Mittwoch nur nachdem man Eintritt bezahlt hat. An anderen Tagen auch so, aber an schickere Kleidung denken. Sonst könnte man enttäuscht sein, wenn einem der Eintritt verwehrt wird. An der Bar angekommen gibt es eine sehr große Auswahl verschiedenster Spirituosen. Gin, Vodka, Rum, Whiskey und alles importiert aus der ganzen Welt. Hier gibt es auch sehr leckere rote und weiße Weintropfen. Die Preise sind für Singapur entsprechend nur ein wenig teurer aber der Blick und die Atmosphere machen das auch wieder wett. Und bei dem Blick schmeckt es sowieso noch ein ganzes Stück besser.
Die Bestellungen werden nur an der Bar entgegengenommen und das hat manchmal sehr lange gedauert. Einerseits das man beachtet wurde und andererseits auch die Bezahlung, nachdem der Drink erhalten wurde.
Wir waren drei Mal dort Oben und es hatte jedes Mal ein DJ aufgelegt, der chilligen aber auch tanzbaren Elektro spielte. Lohnt sich also definitiv.

If you’re in the mood to check out the city view at night while being on a roof top bar/​restaurant, this is a pretty decent place to swing by.
Prior to entering this bar, one must observe the strict dress code (aka smart casual) for evenings. My friends and I were out all day being tourists and didn’t realize that this place had a dress code. Thankfully, we were able to get in with our comfy gear on (tennis shoes, jeans, regular tops/​jersey) since it was complimentary Ladies Night and that we all happened to be girls. However, we did get quite the stare down from the hostess and security that made us feel quite uncomfortable.
Despite us being a bit under dressed, we made the trek up to the roof top bar. Unfortunately, the observatory deck was closed to the public but you could still wander around the bar area and see the city through various spots. Tried to take some pictures but there was just too many people clustered around the areas where you could peek out to see the view. As for the bar itself, it took a really long time to even put in an order (given that this was a Wednesday night) so my friends and I just left. Throughout our experience, we kept getting stopped by the staff to ask if we were going to drink and the pressure to buy something is pretty strong here.
Overall, not quite worth the time to visit this place if you’re only here to see the city view.

We stayed at the Marina Bay Sands hotel for our one night in Singapore, so we figured we should try one of the restaurants at the hotel. We were debating to go there for dinner or for lunch, but we wanted to venture out of the hotel that night so we ended up going there for lunch the next day. Of course the views are impeccable since it i the top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel, but the food was average and over-​priced. Both my husband and I were excited about the miso black cod they had on the menu, but it turned out to be such a small portion and the fish was not cooked well. I think we paid almost $ 200+ for lunch for 4 of us and weren’t even drinking. We did a have a few drinks at their bar the night before, and now that I recall those were very pricey as well– guess you are paying for the views!

Great view. Lousy service. Rude bouncers. $ 200 minimum if you want to sit down, and you only get the table until 8pm, regardless of what time you sit. Food and cocktails are both overpriced and mediocre. DJ was spinning elevator music to make sure no one danced. Did I mention the great view?

Food was great! Customer service was excellent, considering everywhere else the service has been horrible. View was amazing. I recommend anyone to come eat here. Even if you don’t have a reservation they can seat you at the bar. :)

Views and the ambiance = some of the best on the Earth. The wait at the bar was surprisingly short and the drinks were delicious. It takes forever to get up here, their should a larger lobby and bigger, or more, elevators dedicated to transporting guests up and down. Their ought to be a little more of a dress code to, I don’t like drinking near bummy looking broad and bros, haha jk. Thanks for the views and drinks bar!

Das Ce La Vi liegt im 57. Stock des Marina Bay Sands Hotels, oben auf der Dachterrasse! Der Ausblick vom Restaurant über Singapur ist einfach unglaublich! Man sollte aber unbedingt Reservieren, da das Restaurant immer gut Besucht ist. Das Essen ist wirklich hervorragend. Es gibt Fisch, sowie Fleisch und auch Vegetarisches. Wer sich nicht entscheiden kann, dem sei das Tasting Menu ans Herz gelegt. Hier bekommt man eine bunte Mischung von der ganzen Speisekarte serviert. Nicht sehr günstig aber da ist dann bestimmt für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Und das wichtigste, Satt wird man auch. Bezahlung ist auch mit Kreditkarte möglich.
Man sollte aber folgendes beachten: Das Restaurant gehört nicht zum Hotel. Als Hotelgast muss man also ganz normal im Restaurant bezahlen. Wenn man kein Hotelgast ist und man hier nur was Essen geht sollte man beachten, das man zum Rundweg auf der Aussichtsplattform keinen Freien Zugang hat, sondern Eintritt dafür zahlen muss. Wer aber den Rundgang nicht unbedingt braucht, der kann auch aus dem Restaurant heraus tolle Bilder machen. Man muss also nicht zwingend für gute Bilder eine Eintrittskarte kaufen wenn man hier Essen ist.
Wer in Singapur Urlaub macht, der sollte auf jeden Fall einen Abend in diesem Restaurant mit einplanen.

Went in for some light food and a drink Saturday evening. Great views as you’re at the top of Marina Bay Sands. Service was good and prompt.
We ordered fresh oysters, crispy sticky baby squid [amazing], some sushi and a couple of drinks. We both had a Barcelona G&T from the cocktail menu; highly recommended! Rounded off the meal with a toasted citrus gâteau from the dessert menu.
Rather pricey, but worth it once in a while!

The only reason I give this three stars is for the view. Drinks are outrageously expensive and very weak. They do have a good list of liquor, a few beer and wine choices but nothing that I would specifically go up there for.
Staff is not very good at all. Did not understand and even argued with us when we asked to split our check. Totally they did not listen to what we asked to do, then got angry when we told the server she did not listen to us. Beware of this. Go with cash.
Go for one drink and the view, then leave.

The drinks were surprisingly good for a spot which I assumed would be touristy. The view is obviously amazing and the service was good. Will go back with all visitors.

Pour prendre de la hauteur, ce restaurant vous emmenera haut. L’accès par la tower 3 se fait en ascenseur rapide et direct. Réservation recommandee.
Ambiance lounge mais surtout une vue superbe.
Coté cuisine c’est plutôt asiatique revisitée.
C’est très correct sans être extraordinaire. Le rapport qualité prix est sauvé par la vue exceptionnelle.
A must try !

You can not be in Singapore and not stop by Ce La Vi at the tower #3 in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. The view is breath taking!!! Make sure you have reservations they don’t take walk ins and go there at night. The food varied from average to good but the overall dinning experience was one of a kind. The service was excellent. Oh and you can walk into the club after dinner.

You really can’t ask for anything better in a WOWZA place to bring guests. Gorgeous, magical view of Singapore, lots of sharing dishes (I really really love sharing food) and stunning food. It’s such a treat getting to eat up here.
This is another one of those ‘if you’re cold we’re gonna wrap you up in a shaw’ kind of places. Literally the only reason to give it a 4 instead of a 5 is service in consistencies but all in all its a killer place!
My favourite on the menu would definitely have to be the black miso cod, however they seem to change their menu quite frequently, which I like, but means you have to check before you order because that ‘beef dish you liked last time’ may not be the same one anymore! I would 100% ask for the staffs recommendation (which I guess you should do in most places anyway!) and come with lots of people so you can share lots of things!
Wonderful celebratory dinner venue!

The view is spectacular whether you have drinks or dinner here. The sashimi salad was very fresh, with large pieces of fish and a tangy, spicy dressing. The dish could have used more leafy greens, but overall a delight. The pork belly is good and flavorful, but the consistency in cooling was uneven (some pieces were dry and didn’t have sauce). The udon noodles were well cooked and seasoned.

Came to the 56 floor viewing deck and popped up to grab a cocktail and managed to get a seat. Cocktails around S$ 24 which I thought was reasonable, service a bit patchy due to new staff being on.
Worth it for the views and it was lovely on a Sunday afternoon. Great DJ — bit of soul, classics and dance so a cool brunch vibe and I could have stayed longer. Dress code then is casual but post 5.30pm, formal dress (no shorts for men) is stated on signs at the bar.
Cocktail was good — Royal Smile I think, it was slightly sour but refreshing and just what was required. I would go back on my next visit.

The restaurant setting, food and service is exceptional!
The minimum spend is very reasonable for the quality and vibe, which is upscale, mix tourist, mix locals and smart (vs casual) and the sharing plate style allows you to sample many of the dishes. The cocktails are delicious and the wine menu extensive.
I can’t wait to return!

I went here twice — once for the club and returned the next night to try the restaurant! Both experiences were great — especially the food, the view and the drinks! it’s vegetarian friendly so that made it all the more special!
They do have a minimum required spend for dinner but it still seemed a much better deal than paying for the skydeck. Honestly, it was also just worth it because the experience wasn’t touristy or kitschy, it was actually fun and unique!

We visited Ku De Ta last weekend mainly for the views. My husband had been once before with a colleague and insisted we check it out. He informed us that we’d have to pay to get to the deck for the views and that it was worth it to go up to eat. He called the night before to reserve a covered table on the patio and we got an excellent view from the corner of the deck.
We both ordered the brunch ($ 98 each), which included oysters, salmon sashimi, tuna tataki, prawn salad with glass noodle, cucumber salad, prawn and vegetable tempura, and miso soup in addition to a main course selection and juice, coffee, tea and soft drinks. I ordered the donburi (pork belly, mix vegetables with chili garlic, teriyaki).
I was very pleased with all of the food, but will say it was definitely a Paleo cheat meal. I did my best to avoid the tempura, rice and soy-​based food, but know that it was impossible to avoid completely. The gentleman who seated us was very nice, but other than that, the service was lack luster and one woman was borderline rude.
I thought it was a unique experience with a really gorgeous view of Singapore, and the people watching was awesome. This is not a place that we will frequent because on top of the expensive spread, parking wasn’t fun and neither was navigating the mall to get there. But… If we have guests in town, this will be a must, along with dinner at the Equinox restaurant on the 70^th floor of the Swissotel.

Surprisingly small indoor area. Amazing outdoor patio/​deck with the hands down best view of the bay overlooking the downtown financial district and beyond. It is a must go at least one time if you are into the whole club lounge scene.
I was quite surprised by how awesome the bottle service was. Bracing myself for a huge bill it didn’t end up being so bad at the end. The attendants are very attentive to keeping up with out tables. The pricing structure is focused on people getting bottles instead of by the drink cocktails.
Just partied and drank here. I didn’t even know they had food. Perhaps on my next trip.

I know, I know, this is the biggest tourist trap in Singapore, but you know what it’s awesome!
It’s like going up the Empire State Building in New York, you get an incredible view of the city and beyond the island to surrounding islands — very very cool.
No charge to get up there, but you’ll pay big bucks for drinks (beers around $ 20 and cocktails $ 22+).
This was definitely a highlight of the holiday. Highly recommend anyone heading to Singapore to go for just one drink and soak up the incredible view.

Wow. If you’re thinking of spending $ 25 for the Skypark observation deck, don’t be stupid. Buy yourself an amazing cocktail at Ku de Ta. The best time is around 6:30 pm to catch the sunset.
Cocktails are over $ 20 but at least they are good. The food which is Asian fusion with a heavy emphasis on Japanese is equally pricey but high quality and delicious. Service is impeccable. All dishes are shared family style.
Can you buy yourself about 5 meals in Singapore for the price of one cocktail here? Sure you can and I normally have an aversion against grotesquely overpriced shi-​shi places but the breathtaking view is one that you’ll remember a lifetime.

Die Location ist schon sehr irre, Getränke und der Rest ist wo anders sicher besser, billiger und vielfältiger, insbesondere in Singapur. Allein der Ausblick ist wohl einzigartig und einen Besuch wert.

KU DE TA is the name of the bar/​lounge at the top of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. The hotel allows you to go up to KU DE TA without a fee (assuming that you will purchase drinks) to enjoy the view. KU DE TA is directly adjacent to the infinity pool, so you get amazing views looking into the city while youre at the bar.
The service, however, is terrible. It may have been so bad at the particular time I went because there was a private party, and many of the servers looked occupied with that. We sat ourselves, got our own menus and had to go to the bar to order. The menus looked old and the pages were creased and unprofessional looking, the drinks were expensive and we had to ask 3 times for glasses of water.
In conclusion, you pay for the awesome views. That’s it. You don’t pay for nice menus or impeccable service. I was disappointed to say the least. I would even venture to say that if I go again to see the view and the service is just as terrible, I’ll take my photos and leave without getting a drink.
Ku De Ta, you get 1 star for the view, 1 star for the drink selection ($ 40 sangria for 2 people) and wasabi chips.

Auf dem Dach des derzeit wohl bekanntesten Gebäudes Singapurs — dem Marina Bay Sands Hotel — befindet sich das Ku Dé Ta. Weil ich an den zwei Abenden unseres Singapur-​Stopovers unbedingt einmal dort einkehren wollte habe ich Monate vorher per eMail reserviert. Eine Reservierung scheint auch obligat zu sein. Der Tisch wird am Abend zweimal vergeben, wir hatten die ‘Schicht’ von 18 — 20 Uhr. Das war uns mit der Reservierung bekannt.
Oben angekommen wurden wir an die Bar gebeten, da wir etwas zu früh dran waren. Wir starteten in den Abend mit Cocktails. Meine Frau versuchte sich an ‘Tony Stark’s Pepper’, der den Pfeffer nicht nur im Namen hatte und deswegen etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig war. Ich hatte einen ‘Lady Marmalade’ auf Gin-​Basis mit Blaubeermarmelade… Nachdem ich den lila Glibber per Rühren auf dem Boden des Glases versenkt hatte musste ich feststellen, dass ich ab jetzt bei jedem Zug am Strohhalm erst ein kleines bisschen Marmelade und dann einen Schluck Alkohol im Mund hatte — abgefahren gut!
Zwischenzeitlich wurden wir an unserem Tisch platziert. Wie gewünscht draußen, mit Blick zur Meerseite, auf bequemen, weichen Sofas. Die Karte ist japanisch angehaucht, von ordentlichem Umfang, es dürfte für jeden Geschmack was zu finden sein. Die Portionen sind eher klein, mit drei Gängen wurden wir aber dennoch satt. Das Essen war durchwegs gut und originell. Nicht ganz billig, aber man zahlt hier natürlich für die Location mit. Für zwei Personen (Cocktails, eine Flasche Wasser, je ein Glas Wein, drei Gänge und Kaffee) haben wir etwas mehr als 200 € da gelassen, was in Ordnung geht… Denn der Ausblick ist wirklich gigantisch! Auch am Service gab es nichts zu meckern.
Wer nach Singapur reist sollte mal im Ku Dé Ta gewesen sein.
Unbedingt reservieren, und natürlich den Dresscode beachten…
P. S.: Man spart sich auch die 20 SGD Eintritt für die Aussichtsplattform, hat allerdings auch nicht den kompletten Rundumblick.

Leider ist hier der Ausblick noch immer das beste am ganzen Restaurant. Das Preis– Leistungsgefüge ist hier außer Kontrolle geraten. 2 Glas Champus, als Apéritif, 1Fl. NZ Weißwein und 2 Entrees und 2 Hauptgänge für schlappe s$ 450,00 inkl. Steuern und Tip, Leute das ist heftig für das, dass der Service unprofessionell, chaotisch und dennoch recht hochnäsig erscheint. Das Management sollte diesen Umstand dringend beheben, denn dadurch verliert das ganze, tolle Hôtel an Qualität. Vor allem die dazugehörige Bar/​Disco strotzt an ungeschulten Personal. Wenn man S$ 18.00++ für ein Bier zahlt, möchte man weder 15 Min. warten müssen, bis man von einem Kellner wahrgenommen wird, noch dann ein warmes Stella Artoise vorgesetzt bekommen. Achtung: die Kapazität des Service scheint begrenzt, denn die Bestellung von meinem Bier und einem Tonic, erforderte 2x Laufen. Das ist wohl wirklich nicht zuviel des Guten, oder?

Der zweite Besuch war enttäuschend: schlechter und unfreundlicher Service der es schafft bei nur zwei Gästen die Gericht zu unterschiedliche Zeiten zu bringen. Auch geschmacklich war das zweite Mal nur zweite Wahl
Pan-​Asiatisches Essen, sehr lecker und eine einzigartige Sicht über Singapur. Auf dem Dach des Marina Bay Sands Hotel, unbedingt einen Tisch draussen reservieren !
