RESTAURANT SUMMARY

Where three Michelin stars illuminate Singapore's most distinguished French dining room, Les Amis Singapore stands as the city-state's pinnacle of haute cuisine excellence. Since 1994, this Shaw Centre sanctuary has redefined what independent fine dining can achieve, transforming from pioneering concept to Asia's most celebrated French restaurant through unwavering dedication to culinary perfection.
Founded by passionate francophiles determined to bring authentic French gastronomy beyond hotel confines, Les Amis has evolved into Singapore's first independent restaurant to earn three Michelin stars. Under Executive Chef Sebastien Lepinoy's masterful direction since 2013, the restaurant achieved this historic milestone in 2019, cementing its position among Asia's culinary elite. Lepinoy, trained under legendary Joël Robuchon, brings decades of classical French technique refined through prestigious kitchens across Paris and Hong Kong.
The cuisine at Les Amis represents pure French haute cuisine executed with contemporary precision. Lepinoy's seasonal tasting menus showcase signature creations like Cold Angel Hair Pasta with kombu, caviar, and truffle, and Blue Lobster from Brittany prepared with technical mastery. Each dish celebrates premium ingredients sourced directly from France—Kaviari caviar, Bresse poultry, Périgord truffles—transformed through classical techniques that honor French gastronomic heritage. The multi-course degustation menus change seasonally, ensuring each visit reveals new expressions of culinary artistry. Dietary accommodations are graciously handled with advance notice, maintaining the restaurant's commitment to exceptional hospitality.
The dining experience unfolds within an elegantly appointed space where crystal chandeliers cast warm light over intimate tables dressed in pristine white linens. The main dining room accommodates 76 guests across multiple private dining areas, including exclusive spaces like The Cave and The Library for special celebrations. Service embodies French fine dining traditions without pretension—knowledgeable staff share stories behind each dish while maintaining the warm professionalism that defines Les Amis' approach. The wine program stands among Asia's finest, featuring thousands of labels with exceptional depth in Burgundy and Bordeaux, earning recognition from The World of Fine Wine. Expert sommeliers craft pairings that elevate each course, drawing from a cellar that represents decades of careful curation.
Reservations at Les Amis require advance planning, with the restaurant's three-Michelin-star status making tables highly coveted among Singapore fine dining enthusiasts. Smart elegant attire reflects the restaurant's sophisticated atmosphere, while the Shaw Centre location provides convenient access to this culinary landmark that continues defining French excellence in Southeast Asia.
