Odette remains one of Singapore’s top restaurants for good reason. The dining experience can only be described as flawless from the moment you step inside the gorgeous restaurant. Highly-trained yet personable staff greet you like a guest in their own home before offering a welcome drink—our pick is Odette’s Henri Giraud Aÿ Grand Cru Brut. Having been based in Asia for over a decade, chef-owner Julien Royer’s fascination with Asian flavours and ingredients shines in creations like the kinki fish from Hokkaido, which is steamed to heighten its sweetness, then bathed in a pink garlic velouté and mussel reduction for extra umami; and the signature Kampot pepper-crusted pigeon served with a side of black garlic purée, figs and pickled onions. Desserts are worth the extra stomach space when you have pastry chef Louisa Lim dreaming up innovative treats such as the Blanc, comprising Hokkaido milk ice cream, sake foam and deconstructed Hokkaido milk ice for added texture.
