The grand doyenne of Singapore’s fine dining scene is 30 this year. Lest we forget the debt foodies owe to the founders of this institution, for before Les Amis, an independent European fine dining restaurant outside of a hotel simply didn’t exist. Les Amis today is one of the world’s finest restaurants, with three Michelin stars and an Asia’s 50 Best ranking for several years running. The restaurant is classic—wood-clad walls, plush carpet, chandeliers—and for many of its dedicated patrons, offers the finest service in Singapore. The food is equally classic, elegant and perfectly executed. Chef Sebastien Lepinoy, a Robuchon alumnus, leads the savoury kitchen while local pastry master Cheryl Koh creates artful and exceptional desserts. A meal at Les Amis is a masterclass in luxury, from the literal spoonfuls of caviar offered, to the globally recognised wine list. It’s no wonder that Les Amis is a bucket list restaurant for so many foodies around the world.
