Yes it was one of the "original" fine dining places in SG with a stellar reputation, but judging from my recent experience it is now a sad shadow of whatever its former glories were. Arrived, got a polite but somewhat standard/perfunctory welcome from the maitre...d (who never interacted with us again for the whole evening). Servers were Ok but you could tell they were reciting a memorised script of a standard meet and greet. They were pleasant enough but not polished (eg neglecting to refill my water throughout, wrong utensil settings for the next course, etc). The young chap who was dressed as the sommelier did not offer me the wine list, even after I made eye contact with him whilst waiting for the course to start. I thought maybe he would come after the amuse bouche, but still no. My first proper course arrived and still no wine. I asked my waiter for the wine list. She got it (surely the sommelier should have stepped in at this point). I ordered a glass. She had no idea...rummaged around the wine fridge, couldn't sort it out. Went to ask for help. The "sommelier" finally got involved, found the bottle but it was empty or something, took ages to find another bottle and prep it. Finally came over, poured it, but no comment (let alone a polite "sorry") at all for the delay. After this debacle one would expect some better service - nope, no one came again to offer me a red for my meat course let alone dessert wines. As to the food, the menu choices were very standard (which is fine, if done well). However, many of the appetizers (both cold and warm ) were served with big dollops of caviar which to me is just a lazy way to mask the inherently unimaginative and boring cooking. The underlying ingredients themselves tasted bland, the sauces one dimensional. Same with the main courses - bland, boring, standard fare one could get in any big hotel formal restaurant. The Les Amis team might want to go to Zen or Odette (to name a few) and see how true fine dining should be done nowadays.More

An absolutely impeccable, dining experience! The service, the wine list, the cocktails reflect the best standard of hospitality. The four course meal that we had embodied the pinnacle of perfection. Rarely am I taken by a Michelin three star restaurant here I was. The meal...also included several additional bites. Each one was divine! I work in the food and beverage space and all I can say is you should visit this restaurant. Bravo!More

Some good dishes, particularly the soup and duck breast. Other dishes were just OK. Valet not there when we drove up and vanished by the time we finished. We’d left our cashcard at home and had to walk around Scott’s Rd getting a new one...when a full service restaurant would have perhaps facilitated the parking coupon. Odd location with people walking by the main door and looking in, traffic noise. Have eaten at Joel Robuchon and other restaurants here and overseas and found the service is warmer, more polite and welcoming elsewhere. There is better food available for less and minus the attitude.More

Many thanks to Leonel Patrick Esteves, "Premier Maitre D'Hotel" at this amazing location which transports you from the luxury shopping district in Singapore directly to France. Every item is perfect, every service is provided. I ordered the 3 course lunch, which is of course more...like 5 courses...ingredients from France exquisitely explained and delivered. Though you shouldn't drive home after, the wine pairing was absolutely inspirational and many thanks to the master Sommelier, Herve Pennequin for that. Very thankful I chose this experience.More

As mentioned in the review for Zen Restaurant, we prefer the more contemporary restaurant that the World’s 50 Best tend to favour rather than the more traditional that Michelin like. Les Amis is certainly more traditional, but there was a lot to like. It’s also...quite apparent from the website and reviews that this is the experience you’ll get, so we went in eyes wide open. Think pressed to within an inch of their life white tablecloths, hushed atmosphere, tables very spaced. Everything quite formal. With that said we think the best part of the night was the service. All very lovely and quite fun. Cultivated, but with a twinkle in the eye. Serious, but not taking themselves seriously. It was fun. We did the truffle degustation, which was good but indulged a pet gate of hours namely that the truffle is more an afterthought. Same dishes as rest of the menu, but with truffle shaved onto them rather than incorporate it more into the dish. Quite a show made over the bread, cheese course, and ice cream! All very good and enjoyable piece of theatre. Looked after right till the end with one of the members of service coming out and waiting with us for the taxi. Lots to like, just not quite what we’re looking for in a fine diner but plenty of others will love.More

Came for birthday lunch. Nearly everything had an overdose of caviar which seemed like a lazy way of justifying prices. I had a dirty spoon come with my dessert and I scraped off the scum with my fingernail to show the waiter. Not fine dining...behaviour for sure, but what’s the point of arranging food in delicate detail and serving it with a dirty spoon. It also took some time to get servers’ attention to get the spoon replaced. The gold foil and caviar can’t mask the lack of inspiration. Not reaching my expectation of a gastronomic experience.More

I came here via bus on a rainy Monday afternoon in early December 2022. The entire meal took a little longer than 2 hours because I asked for plenty of breaks as I was getting really full towards the end of the meal. It didn't...help that whenever I was running low of anything, they'd offer me more of it to go with the rest of the dish (e.g., mini croissants for the caviar or more ice cream for the souffle). Needless to say, their service was impeccable, they were so attentive all the while providing a lot of privacy, which can be a difficult balance. I had made my reservation four days beforehand for the afternoon because it was the only time I had free on my itinerary. I didn't feel like the time I had the meal took away from any of it. It was the best meal I had in Singapore and you can definitely see why this place has three Michelin Stars. I got the four-course option and picked with dish I wanted to try from each of the four categories: cold appetizers; hot appetizers; main course; and dessert. I paid an extra $20 to include the Crab with Cavier for the cold appetizer. Everything they put in front of me was exquisite and flavorful. At the end of the meal, they did not charge me for the hot tea but the bottle of water I had was $18. They even printed out a copy of the meal I ordered and gifted me the jelly candy they made. They recommended that the candies should be enjoyed within a couple of days. Definitely worth making a trip for.More

Two of us had the degustation menu with some wine pairing with specific meals. Overall, the food was good and portions larger than I have had in any other 2-3 star restaurant. I can't argue that the cooking was excellent, and standouts were the duck....But it lacked magic that I have experienced at other 2 (and even 1) star establishments. The plating was presentable but not meticulous or in any way magical. Almost rustic. The service was generally good although clumsy at times and not faultless. I hate to say but compared to Zen, which carries you along on an amazing journey, Les Amis seems dated but without the kudos of being timeless. Cloud Street and JAAN were more impressive, not as costly and carried a better service. Zen remains the best 3* in Singapore by a country mile.More

We arrived 18:55. They let us wait outside until sharp 19:00 when they unlocked the door. The bread variety was excellent, so was the starter. The seabass was overcooked, the Wagyu okay. Taste of vegetables below average. Food and Staff never matched 3 Michelin stars....Totally overpriced. Very disappointed.More
