After a decade at the National Gallery Singapore, Odette enters a renewed chapter with a thoughtful reopening that refines both its dining room and culinary direction. The three-Michelin-starred restaurant continues to anchor itself in modern French cuisine, now expressed with a lighter touch and a more defined sense of place, shaped by Chef-owner Julien Royer’s years in Asia. The refreshed space and menu together signal an evolution rather than a reinvention, honouring its legacy while embracing quiet progression.
The new menu builds on Odette’s established signatures while introducing dishes that reflect a deeper dialogue between French technique and Asian influences. Highlights include Hokkaido Botan Ebi elevated with yuzu-kosho and dashi, and the Crab Contrast dish that subtly weaves local inspiration into its refined execution. Longstanding favourites remain central to the experience, from the Kampot Pepper Crusted Pigeon to the Jeju Abalone and Foie Gras Duo, offering continuity for returning guests while introducing new layers of interpretation.
Alongside the culinary refresh, Odette introduces a seasonal temperance beverage programme designed to complement its celebrated wine list, extending the restaurant’s meticulous approach to pairing and hospitality. Guided by a philosophy that begins with exceptional produce and quiet, attentive service, the reopening reflects Odette’s continued commitment to elegance without excess. The result is a renewed dining experience that feels familiar yet newly attuned to time, place, and craft.
