db Bistro & Oyster Bar was a restaurant located at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) in Singapore. Founded by Daniel Boulud as a spinoff of his db Bistro Moderne in New York City,[1] it specialized in fresh seafood more due to Singapore's coastal location. The restaurant featured a bar area where guests could try a variety of cocktails and other drinks. The bar also featured live music on certain nights.[2]

In 2024, the restaurant was closed and replaced by a new restaurant from Boulud, Maison Boulud.[3]

History

The restaurant was closed on January 2024[4] to be replaced by a new restaurant, Maison Boulud, also by Boulud, to be opened at MBS also.[5] Some of the dishes from Db Bistro & Oyster Bar were also served at Maison Boulud.[5]
