Restaurant Chaleur

Exceptional experience at Restaurant Chaleur. Chef Masa’s food is delicate and fragrant yet rich in taste and texture. Wonderful and original combinations of flavours. Great wine list. Great service from Ms Rainbow. Also the most amazing bread!

Visited in March 2025 for lunch. We were the only party at the restaurant so it was an extremely intimate and cosy affair. Service was good and food was excellent! The fattiness of the kanpachi paired with the zesty mikan was super refreshing. The guinea fowl was also cooked to perfection. Their menu and price is definitely a good starting point for those who want to try a Michelin restaurant for the first time!

Dining at Chaleur was nothing short of extraordinary. The Blue Lobster supplement was a true indulgence—succulent, delicate, and expertly prepared to bring out its natural sweetness. The Wagyu Tenderloin was impeccably executed, with deep, smoky notes from the charcoal and bone marrow elevating its richness. And the Chef’s Signature duck consommé with wholegrain noodle was a masterpiece—comforting yet sophisticated, with layers of umami that lingered beautifully. Beyond the impeccable dishes, Chaleur also strikes the perfect balance with its portions, ensuring a satisfying experience without excess. Their homemade bread, served in small, thoughtful quantities, is a refreshing change from the typical overabundance elsewhere—where baskets overflow, only to lead to unnecessary waste. Here, every element is curated with intention, enhancing the meal without overwhelming it. From the ambiance to the precision in every dish, Chaleur delivers a Michelin-starred experience that is both refined and deeply satisfying. Highly recommended for those seeking an unforgettable culinary journey! Thank you Chef!

Chaleur isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. For those who appreciate fine cuisine, exceptional champagne, and a setting that whispers luxury without ever shouting, this Michelin-starred destination is a must. The meal started strong with piping warm bread paired with silky butter—a small but powerful testament to the precision and care you’d expect from a top-tier French kitchen. Every dish was a delight—expertly prepared with a beautiful mix of Japanese and French techniques that made each course mouthwatering. The setting is refined yet cozy, tucked away on the second floor of a charming shophouse near Neil Road. One of the highlights was their stunning glass wine cellar, showcasing an impressive selection of wines and champagnes. Chaleur partners with Dom Pérignon, so you’ll find some of their finest (and rarest) bottles on the list—including special editions like the Lady Gaga one we had at a spectacular LVMH-hosted event. The intimate space makes it ideal for both elegant social gatherings and relaxed business conversations. A real gem for anyone who loves great food, great bubbles, and a touch of understated luxury.

Singapore is bombarded with good food and Michelin starred restaurants so I am comparing to places alike. We went on a rainy week night and there was not anyone else so we had all the attention we needed. The atmosphere was serene and calm. The U shape configuration feels like sushi bar without entertainment but we can look at other patrons across (and ignore them) and at the focal point was the kitchen - much like in office presentation. It was an interesting take for dining room interior. You are inside and outside the office at the same time but under dimmed ambiance light. Perfect for those who Work-from-home. The food was ok and neatly presented. The wine proposed was nicely paired with our food.

Had my birthday dinner here and I am impressed. EVERYTHING was so good!!! From the snacks to the bread to the desserts, it was so good. I will be back when the menu changes and will bring my friends to try!! 10/10

For a one michelin star restaurant and the price point, I find the experience to be a little underwhelming. The service was prompt, the wine list was quite nice, but I did not find any nice surprises in the dish - every dish was slightly above average, but not impressive. The bites - wagyu tartare on a crispy seaweed cracker lacked taste, but the hotate tart was quite nice, the sweetness of the scallops was complemented by the thin pastry. The mochi snow bun was quite nice, but the other bread was average. The seaweed butter could be a little more melted. The botan ebi dish is a simple and elegant dish - the ebi was very fresh and sweet and the herb oil went nicely with it. The scallop with caviar and yuzu cream was one of the better dishes - the fattiness of the yuzu cream went well with the light sweet taste of the scallop. The anko fish with kolrabi was well cooked and had some nice flavors as well. The venison with cassis sauce stood out as well - the venison was perfectly cooked and the sauce was deep and intense. My favorite dish of the night was the homemade wheat noodles in a 7h duck consomme - the flavor of the soup was so intensely umami you feel like you are drinking the jus of a hundred poultry. The dessert was nice but a little forgettable. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, but I do think for this price point, one could do better and it does not beg for a return visit.

We had an unforgettable dinner at CHALEUR last night while celebrating my wife's birthday! From the moment we arrived, Mr. Kawano, the owner, made us feel incredibly welcome. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The dinner offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and each one was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We particularly enjoyed the noodles in special duck consumme and the Yonezawa beef, which was a delightful surprise for my wife's birthday. The attention to detail and the quality of the ingredients truly stood out. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our evening. Mr. Kawano even stopped by our table to wish my wife a happy birthday, which made the experience even more special. If you're looking for a restaurant that combines amazing food, a charming atmosphere, and exceptional service, look no further than CHALEUR. We will definitely be returning for more wonderful meals in the future! Thank you for making my wife's birthday celebration so memorable!
