Odette Restaurant

Infusing a sense of place through product, technique, flavour and aesthetic, Chef Julien Royer’ Odette, maintains an award-winning spot on the list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Royer moved to Singapore as a young, classically trained French Chef.

Over time he learned to work with the terrior, fresh, natural ingredients, the countries rare citrus fruits and local spices—the result, a magical blend of French and Asian cuisine. Odette’s décor has an unusual, distinctly feminine feel with soft pops of pink, cream and gray. Located in Singapore’s historic national gallery, the now famous restaurant is named after his grandmother who, he says, showed him that remarkably elegant dishes come from the purest ingredients, and taught him the importance of “adding a little something.”
