Executive chef Vianney Massot puts his stamp on the local dining scene by taking over the third reincarnation of Bacchanalia and renaming it Vianney Massot
After taking over one-starred Bacchanalia last October, French chef Vianney Massot has revamped a number of things.
The interiors, with a monochromatic theme, are reminiscent of a few L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon restaurants around the world, and the menu is now expectedly French. Frankly, it looks and feels almost like a totally different outfit, and the only connection to its former life is the same address on 39 Hong Kong Street.
Massot has even shed the Bacchanalia name for good; as of today (April 1), it's been changed to Vianney Massot Restaurant to reflect its unique concept, direction and culinary offerings. “I have been working closely with the team to develop a new identity for the restaurant,” shares Massot, adding that the decision was a culmination of their efforts to create memorable experiences.

Rest assured, diners can also expect the sort of high standards the Robuchon alumni is accustomed to delivering. But if you need any more convincing, here are five reasons why you should check it out.
