After 3 months of refreshing works, Odette, the beloved 3-Michelin-starred French restaurant at National Gallery Singapore, has reopened. With this, diners can experience a refreshed restaurant with a more contemporary look and an even more sophisticated menu. Keep reading to find out more.
An updated menu
Odette’s reopening comes just in time to celebrate its 10th anniversary since its launch in 2015. But beyond just a redesign of the restaurant’s interiors, the menu has also gotten an update. When you dine at the restaurant, you can expect food that remains French at its core, but with an added Asian influence.
For example, the Crab Contrast dish combines French structure and Asian sensibility, with 2 interpretations of Norwegian king crab. One is slow-cooked at 63 degrees Celsius and folded into a small Chilli Crab bun at the side, reminiscent of the iconic Singaporean dish. The other is a tarragon-laced Béarnaise and Normandy brown crab remoulade.
Some classics from the Odette menu also make a return, such as the spicy and sweet Kampot Pepper Crusted Pigeon and the bak kut teh-inspired Jeju Abalone Foie Gras Duo. There are also desserts that will offer a fitting finale to your meal. The LOULOU Lemon is a lemon rind fashioned from meringue, encasing Amalfi lemon curd, basil sorbet, genmaicha crème fraîche and Japanese citrus salad — a vibrant ode to citrus.
Drink options at Odette are also a highlight, aiming to excite the palate as much as glasses of wine, or even more. If you’re going for the Jeju Abalone Foie Gras Duo, a good pairing would be the Lapsang, which features Chinese black tea rendered into smoky kombucha and imbued with ginger and lemongrass.
A sophisticated new look
If you’ve ever been to Odette before, coming back to the restaurant will feel familiar, yet different. The original pastel palette of the interiors has matured into warm hues of pale beurre and tawny umber, set against oyster and cherry timber. The design studio behind the refreshed space has chosen a more modern look for Odette, using a new backdrop of timber marquetry inspired by French art deco techniques.
New integrated lights, custom banquettes, cast mirrored glass panels and tactile materials give the entire dining room a soft glow-up, while also highlighting the building’s 90-year-old architecture. A new artwork, ‘Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall’, also greets customers at the entrance.
The restaurant offers a few multi-course meals, such as the 5-course Terre & Mer (S$368++) lunch menu, the 7-course Epicure (S$498++) menu and the 6-course Nature & Découverte (S$348++) vegetarian menu.
If you’re in for some modern French dining, you can make reservations here.
