Heading the kitchen is French chef Louis Pacquelin, formerly of the now-shuttered BBR by Alain Ducasse
Louis Pacquelin, the former chef de cuisine of BBR by Alain Ducasse at Raffles Hotel Singapore which shuttered its doors last year, is back in the local dining scene with the opening of contemporary French brasserie Clos Pasoh in Amoy Street. The establishment, which he co-owns with French entrepreneur Jean-Christophe (JC) Cadoret, is a celebration of their French heritage as well as the city that they now call home.
The influence of the two cultures is evident in the chic interiors that merge classic French style with Singaporean sensibilities. Hence, the 50-seat dining indoor room is decked out in mesmerising wallpaper from French masion Pierre Frey, while the dining chairs were handmade by a Singaporean designer.
Indeed, the indoor dining is made for memorable meals but the space extends to the terrace overlooking the buzzy Bukit Pasoh neighbourhood, Chef’s Table for front-row seats to the chefs at work, and a private room with its own entrance. This is a French place after all, so there’s even a room dedicated to the extensive wines and cheeses it offers.
