Odette.
Located in the historic National Gallery Singapore, Odette is Chef Julien Royer’s refined tribute to modern French gastronomy. Named after his grandmother, the restaurant moves away from the stuffiness of traditional fine dining, favoring a soft, airy aesthetic of pale tones and hanging art installations. Royer’s menus are defined by a deep respect for terroir, sourcing pristine ingredients from artisanal producers across Europe and Asia. While the techniques are distinctly French, the flavors often incorporate subtle regional influences, seen in dishes like the signature rosemary-smoked organic egg or delicate preparations of Japanese seafood. Service is choreographed with precision but lacks pretension, extending to a dedicated champagne cart and a notable pastry program that concludes the meal with intricate sweets. It is a space where the culinary precision matches the museum's artistic setting.
