This modern French restaurant truly satisfied my endless curiosity for new ingredients and flavour combinations while staying firmly rooted in French technique, even after trying many highly regarded French restaurants in Singapore and abroad.
A few standout moments:
- oyster as an appetiser was an amazing opening, fresh, fragrant and rich flavour, that I ordered extra 2 pieces.
- The sweetbread (veal throat) was unlike any I’ve had before. Creamy, almost melting, with a delicate richness that reminded me of the fatty part of premium toro.
- Scallop flown in from Switzerland was so naturally sweet and pure that I initially thought the chef had glazed it with sugar and butter. Easily an 11/10. the best piece of shellfish I’ve eaten in recent memory.
- Smoked baby duck fillet served with pickled melon was a revelation. Throughout the menu, the chef shows a masterful hand with acidity, whether from fermentation, vinegar, or the brightness of fresh fruit and vegetables, ringing perfect balance to every plate.
- Unlike classic French desserts that can feel heavy with butter and sugar, the desserts here are remarkably light and refined, allowing the true flavours of the ingredients to shine.
- The chocolate course, made with Valrhona (widely regarded as one of France’s finest chocolate makers), was the perfect luxurious finish.
Creative, precise, and delicious. An outstanding modern French dining experience.
