2 Bayfront Avenue #B1-48 Galleria Level, The Shoppes @ MBS, Singapore 018956

Named after Chef Daniel Boulud, db Bistro & Oyster Bar offers four unique New York burgers in a classy setting at The Shoppes @ Marina Bay Sands. The upscale restaurant serves their burgers with a bread basket starter, a trio of individually sauces on the side (ketchup, garlic aioli, and sweet chilli mustard), as well as a large tin of fries.

The Original db Burger ($42++) is the signature dish, featuring a sirloin burger patty filled with braised short ribs and foie gras atop a parmesan bun. The Yankee Burger ($23++) comes with a beef patty, iceberg lettuce, tomato, and onion served on a sesame bun (cheddar cheese or bacon can be added for an additional $5). The Frenchie Burger ($27++) has a beef patty topped with confit pork belly, caramelised onions, morbid cheese, arugula, coronations, and a black pepper bun. Lastly, the Veggie Burger ($29++) comes with herb falafel, spice-roasted eggplant, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and tzatziki on a sesame bun.

I ordered the Frenchie: I added $5 bacon which were worse than Burger King's turkey bacon. It was basically a piece of thin charcoal, extremely dry. Beef patty was dry as well, i ordered it done medium and it came medium well. Only saving grace was the fries and garlic sauce that made the beef less dry.

The flavors of the DB original really weren't hitting the spot and for the crazy price tag, it really did feel like they were putting in all sorts of expensive ingredients but failing to summon any harmony between them. Pretty much a let-down as my other 4 dining companions agreed (we bought into the hype so much that each of us had one!)

I had the Frenchie, and certainly enjoyed it but possibly felt they over complicated it a little. Nothing wrong but nothing memorable at 27SGD I feel there are more special burgers out there. The restaurant is nice, service good and took in to account we were in slight rush to make the show.

I'd heard good things about the burgers at DB Bistro so was excited to try it before going to a play at the MBS Theatre opposite the restaurant. The atmosphere at DB Bistro is one of fine dining and the service matches the high standards set. I went for their Frenchie Burger and thought the meat was excellent. I also really enjoyed the three accompanying sauces that came alongside the burger and crispy fries. While it was a delicious meal I was hoping for just a little more unique flavour.

We also had the Original db Burger. After trying a bite of the Frenchie, i expected this to be better than the former. However, I was not blown away by the taste as I was by the price tag ($42!). The beef patty encapsulated the short ribs and foie gras. The beef was cooked to medium doneness as ordered again, but could have done better with a bit more salt. The foie gras was a tad overcooked for my liking, which didn't add much to the flavour of the burger as I expected it to have sadly.

Tried two burgers on my last trip to db bistro - first, the Frenchie Burger. Took a bite into it and i was blown! I loved how the flavours of the pork confit gave the beef a subtle boost. The beef was flavourful and cooked to medium doneness as ordered. The caramelised onions also lent a slight sweetness to the burger. I enjoyed the thick cut fries that was served together (tasted like they added some chicken or beef seasoning to it). Definitely my burger of choice the next time I'm there!

I also tried the Frenchie Burger ($27) whose confit pork belly topping had a strong smokey taste and felt a bit dry in texture. The underlying beef patty was good and the ingredients were fresh, however the burger didn't feel particularly special. Though the price is very fair given the venue, I'd rather top up for the Original db Burger and get a much more unique experience.

On my first bite into The Original db Burger ($42) the braised beef stuffing amazed me with its fantastic flavor and texture, complimenting the huge, juicy sirloin patty very well. However, while the foie gras filling contributed a lot to the cost, it's subtlety didn't add much to the taste. The burger is perfectly sized alongside a generous serving of crispy fries, which is appreciated in an upscale joint like this. All in, I think the burger is worth the premium and I'd gladly have it again.

All burgers come with a trio of individual sauces - ketchup, garlic aioli, and sweet chilli mustard - for diners to use on the burger or fries as they please.
