Odette- Singapore
What makes it special? Royer's food combined with best-in-class hospitality. The 37-year-old Frenchman offers the finest quality products from renowned artisans around the world - from Europe to Asia and Australia. After two years topping the list of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, Odette holds the 2nd position in 2021, while retaining the title of Best Restaurant in Singapore.
Who is Julien Royer? This chef's heavyweight CV includes stints with Michel Bras in France and Antonin Bonnet in London. Upon moving to Singapore, he trained and led Jaan to greater fame for several years before opening Odette - named after the grandmother who inspired Royer - in late 2015.
What's on the menu? In addition to signature dishes like Normandy brown crab with wasabi oil and Nashi pear, and Kampot pepper pigeon, you can find Royer's elegance - a reflection of his French background but Asian environment. - in miso glazed platters, and on-site shrimp tarts with cream of mussels and caviar.
The dining room: Housed in the historic National Gallery of Singapore, Odette's dining room exudes a sense of femininity commonly found in high-end establishments thanks to splashes of soft pink against a cream and gray backdrop. The aesthetic is planned by Singaporean artist Dawn Ng, and also incorporates the original abstract collages of food photography that have been constructed.
