Renowned Dutch chef Sergio Herman has brought his celebrated culinary expertise to Singapore with the opening of Le Pristine at the newly refurbished Grand Hyatt Singapore. Chef Herman, formerly of the three-Michelin-starred Oud Sluis in the Netherlands, continues his streak of success with this Southeast Asian debut. Following the acclaim of his Le Pristine locations in Antwerp, which earned a Michelin star, and Tokyo, listed in the Michelin Guide, the Singapore outpost promises to deliver a casual fine dining experience that blends innovation with authenticity.
Le Pristine Singapore showcases Chef Herman’s distinctive interpretation of Italian flavors, highlighting premium ingredients sourced from Zeeland, a coastal province in the Netherlands celebrated for its fertile soils and fresh seafood. Guests can look forward to dishes that emphasize the natural tastes and textures of high-quality ingredients, presented with Herman’s signature elegant simplicity.
Beyond the cuisine, Le Pristine offers an immersive dining experience that reflects Chef Herman’s passion for music, art, design, and fashion. The interiors, inspired by the Antwerp original, feature striking art pieces by prominent Dutch and Belgian artists, including works from the Rotganzen art collective and Maarten Baas. The curated ambiance enhances the dining experience, seamlessly blending culinary artistry with creative expression.
The launch of Le Pristine Singapore coincides with the reopening of Grand Hyatt Singapore, which underwent extensive renovations and reopened. The restaurant occupies the former mezza9 space, which closed in 2022, and joins a prestigious lineup of celebrity chef establishments in Singapore, including Josh Niland’s Fysh at The Singapore Edition and Dario Cecchini’s Bottega di Carna at Mondrian Singapore Duxton. Chef Herman’s latest venture further cements Singapore’s reputation as a global dining destination.
