Clarence

At Clarence, Chef Olivier Elzer of the two-Michelin-starred L'Envol has opened a one-of-a-kind Asian-inspired French restaurant in Central's H Code, which will be run by his protégé chef Simon So. Clarence will be divided into four distinct zones, with a sommelier, a raw and wine bar, a lounge, and a main dining space with an open kitchen.

To go along with his new restaurant, Olivier has developed and copyrighted a "Yakifrenchy" idea, which uses traditional Asian cooking methods to prepare classic French cuisine. Succulent bites of Challans duck confit, frogs' legs pastis, and Burgundy snails are skewered and grilled over a robatayaki. The raw fish and wine bar serves light but elegant plates of premium seafood, such as Arctic char gravlax with bottarga muggine (a typical dried mullet roe), and the vast wine list reflects Olivier's well-known passion for champagne and wine.
