YOUR go-to CNY 2026
REUNION DINNER GUIDE

CHINESE NEW YEAR IN SINGAPORE

As Singapore prepares for Chinese New Year (CNY) 2026, the streets lights up with lanterns and ornaments. Entering the Year of the Fire Horse, a zodiac defined by a rare blend of spirit, speed, and ambition.

Starting 17 February, this lunar cycle demands a celebration that matches its energy, and CÉ LA VI provides the definitive vantage point to witness this transformation. High above the city hum, our rooftop offers the perfect place to celebrate Chinese New Year with your loved ones, where a new perspective elevates tradition.

The Tapestry of Tradition: The Sacred Ritual of Reunion

Chinese New Year traditions are deeply rooted in the idea of a fresh start. In the days leading up to the festival, the act of "sweeping away the old" and decorating in red and gold helps clear the path for new luck, a ritual that feels particularly vibrant in 2026.

The Fire Horse represents momentum and social vitality, this is a year for those who move with purpose. This spirit naturally converges at the heart of the festival: the Tuan Yuan Fan, or the Chinese New Year reunion dinner.

More than just a meal, the "Round Table" symbolises wholeness and unity. It is a "gathering of luck," where sharing a feast ensures the entire circle, whether family or your closest peers, prospers together.If this is the most important meal of your year, the setting should reflect that significance. Choosing to "ascend" to the top of the city honours the heritage of looking upward and moving higher, turning a simple dinner into a statement of intent.

Elevating the Ritual:
Why CÉ LA VI is Singapore’s Definitive Festive Anchor

That intent is physically realised the moment you arrive at CÉ LA VI. The journey to our Level 57 Restaurant with a city view at Marina Bay Sands mirrors the traditional blessing of Bu Bu Gao Sheng, the wish to rise higher with every step.

Here, we offer a sense of liberation that typical, enclosed banquet halls cannot match. Our rooftop sanctuary becomes a stage for your reunion, blending the warmth of tradition with a sophisticated, open-air atmosphere.

A Culinary Tribute:
The Modern Asian Reunion Menu

This sets the tone for a CNY reunion dinner that departs from the traditional set-menu experience. At CÉ LA VI, we focus on a modern Asian menu that pays tribute to regional heritage through a contemporary lens, making it the ideal Chinese New Year restaurant for those who prefer innovation over the predictable.

Every course is a conversation piece, ensuring your Chinese New Year celebration is anchored in both artistry and flavour.

Corporate Prosperity: The Ultimate Convergence for Teams & Partners

For the business community, CNY 2026 is the premier opportunity to signal a strong year ahead. Hosting a company reunion dinner at a high-visibility venue like CÉ LA VI communicates this vision to your partners and team, positioning your brand on a fast-paced, successful trajectory. Especially in the Year of the Fire Horse, a celebration at this altitude represents a clear commitment to forward-thinking leadership.

This momentum carries through every part of the evening, as the transition from a formal meal to a celebratory toast remains entirely seamless. Against the backdrop of the illuminated city, our rooftop bar provides a chic environment for networking that lasts long after the final course. Guests can enjoy imaginative pours like The Silent Gold, a tropical twist on a margarita, or Ed’s Favourite, a refined white negroni — each serving as a companion to the midnight skyline.

For those requiring a more intimate setting, our private dining rooms offer the exclusivity needed for high-level conversations, allowing you to move effortlessly from an indulgent feast to a "toast to success."
