Odette Singapore Reviews
True 3-star experience
Odette has received many accolades on top of its Michelin 3-star recognition, and these are absolutely deserved. Having experienced numerous Michelin starred restaurants, we wondered if the Singapore stars were on par with their European counterparts, and they truly are! Our standout favorites were the Normandy crab, the rosemary smoked organic egg, and the array of French cheeses whose aroma itself will transport you to France. It will take a bite out of your wallet, costing in the range of US$400-500 per person. But when you calculate the tremendous costs of maintaining a 3-star rating, it is entirely reasonable. If you want access to exquisite ingredients creatively molded into delectable dishes, the beautiful dining atmosphere, and the top-notch staff of well-trained professionals who take tremendous pride in their craftsmanship, then this is simply the price of admission. Their warm hospitality adds to the experience and makes it all the more worthy of a visit.
Fantastic food, even better service
What a fantastic meal. Service was so professional, yet welcoming and friendly. Lucky enough to not only get in at the last minute but also to have truffles on the menu. The langoustine with truffle was the standout. Some seriously amazing wine to wash it all down with. Well done to all of the staff.
Top 5 meals of all time! The Odette staff was visiting Los
Top 5 meals of all time! The Odette staff was visiting Los Gatos in California and I got a chance to partake and what an experience it was! Well, number 24 on the list of world's best restaurants and they have been even higher and of course the 3 Michelin stars. Who am I to disagree?? Leslie the somm was super knowledgeable, charming and funny... Luisa the pastry chef...the best pastry Chef in Asia is a magician...and Xiong the chef were all amazing. They made the evening a delight in terms of the food, service, and overall experience. Every dish we ate was the "The best ____". The best chicken...the best cod... the best fried chicken...the best chicken and rice and the list goes on...
Sublime gourmet experience and the most caring, highly knowledgeable staff : unforgettable MUST-GO in Singapore
No frills, no pretence, no arrogance : only culinary art mastered to perfection allied to a uniquely caring, warm, highly knowledgeable staff in a cosy, classy and elegant setting. Chef Julien Royer holds high his native French cuisine, but he manages to enrich it with Japanese touches. The result is an unmatched explosion of tastes, fragrances, textures, totally original, always balanced, divinely delicate. The dishes are exquisitely presented, with a sense of details that makes each plate a piece of art. The service is the cherry on the cake really : staff is fully engaged, caring, warm and friendly though discreet and so efficient! A few perks from our tasting menu : Langoustine "comme un dumpling", leek fondue, vin jaune, beurre noisette.... To die for. Scottish blue lobster, Kyoto miso, endive, SakΓ© beurre blanc... My palate shall never forget. Love what you do, and it will never feel you go to work : at Odette, it seems that people genuinely love what they do, believe it it and are eager to share that passion with the guests. It enhanced tremendously our experience. The best restaurant in Singapore, by far.
Great experience at Singapore 3 Michelin Star Restaurant
Was here for birthday lunch last year. Pretty difficult to secure a table. Dishes tasted great up until the gamey pigeon. Service was warm and welcoming too!
Worth every penny!
We did the five course lunch with wine pairing, and while it was expensive, it was worth it! The food was incredible, the service was excellent and friendly, and the wine was delicious. We asked lots of questions and both our waiter and the sommelier provided terrific responses.
The service and food live up to its fame.
We went there for dinner with my hubby. Nice environment and set up. Food was all artistically crafted, not only the taste was good, but also the presentation. It was quite an international team and the staff were most friendly and helpful. They explained each dish well. Excellent food and service, the only down side is itβs very pricy.
A Culinary Masterpiece at Odette
Odette offers an extraordinary dining experience that truly deserves its three Michelin stars. Located in the National Gallery, the restaurant's ambiance is elegant and serene, perfectly complementing the exquisite dishes crafted by Chef Julien Royer.
Cuisine exceptional, but DO NOT choose a βprivate diningβ booking!
Firstly β¦ Let me start with the undeniable highlight: the food at Odette is fabulous. Chatting to Chef Adam Wan, the team has mastered the art of exceptional cuisine. The vegetarian menu was light and flavoursome. Sadly there is a BUT β¦ note room type and do not select βPRIVATE DININGβ. Given Odette's stellar reputation, built on a foundation of accolades, waiting lists, and glowing reviews, the anticipation for our Odette experience was understandably high. So, when we eagerly secured a reservation and didn't notice room type, we were in for a disappointment. "Private dining" suggests exclusivity and something special. Yet, upon arrival, we were ushered into a lacklustre function room that felt more suited for group events than the marketed dining experience. The ambiance was non-existent. My view was a bland wall and matrie-d stations!! For a restaurant of Odette's reputation, with their meticulous attention to detail with the crafted dining experience, Iβm not sure how they would believe some diners would be happy to be a squeezed in cover using function room space. While Odette undeniably earns itβs Michelin star for exceptional cuisine, it is not worthy of a βspecial journeyβ with a table in a back-room. We have always been happy to splurge for something special, but to overspend for a less than mediocre atmosphere is what will be remembered. It was just terrible. When reputation and price align, all diners should be given a full Michelin-worthy experience. Even with notification of pending renovations, delivering subpar isn't an excuse. Choose wisely and opt for the main dining area to appreciate what Odette has to offer. The food deserves 5 stars, however the ambience/atmosphere /dining room gets 0.
Outstanding but
Probably my 6th time here and itβs still spectacular in a few ways. But thereβs a but (or 2) in there The amuse bouche and seafood courses were very good to excellent. The abalone and foie gras in pork broth very creative and tasty Then the signature egg course. Itβs a permament fixture in the menu but iβve eaten it about 10 times including the chefβs time at Jaan. So it gets boring Ditto for the main course of pigeon. Occasionally switch to beef or duck and iβll be more excited The mushroom soup also repetitive The blanc dessert and petit fours also very good to excellent Service also very good 9/10
Update: I received a call from Minali, one of the managers,
Update: I received a call from Minali, one of the managers, that a patron has canceled their reservation, and I was able to have dinner here after all with my lovely wife. It was an incredible experience. Every person here was warm, eager to impress, and willing to engage in conversation. Each and every carefully curated dish has a story, elevating our culinary adventure in a way that is unforgettable. We loved the earthy mushroom tea, the sweetly fresh Hokkaido Uni, which was augmented by a generous portion of caviar, the delicate sauce that went with the scallop crudo, the soup with tender abalone and melt-in- your-mouth foie gras, and especially the main signature dish--a medium rare Kampot Pepper Crusted Pigeon. I mentioned earlier that each dish has a story. During our experience, the servers shared the story of the restaurant itself, including where it got its name. I'm impressed with their holistic approach to seemingly everything. Now we have our own story to share about our epic culinary adventure for years to come. Thank you, everyone.
Ultime Perfection in Fine Dining
Amazing dining experience at 3 Michelin Star Odette Restaurant in Singapore. This was absolute perfection in fine dining, from immaculate prepared dishes to delicate service this was one of the best dining experiences of our lifetime. After having dined at over 100 Michelin-Starred venues, mostly in Europe and Asia, Odette is easily ranked as our Top 5 favorite. Kudos to Chef Julien Royer and his marvelous staff. They are simply unique in having created a heavenly dining experience. Thank you so much for making our dinner a very special one. We look forward to our return.

Huge disappointment
Totally over rated. We were brought to a table that seems to be an extension of the main dining hall. Main dining hall was elegantly furnished with dark ambient mood lighting. The extension was plainly draped in beige with plain typical down lighting, far brighter, more like a waiting room. Service was non inspiring. The maitre dβ was politeβ¦. thatβs it. Her welcoming note and summary of the upcoming gastronomic itinerary was more robotic than engaging. The sommelier and wait staff throughout the course of the dinner exudes the same aura as the maitre dβ. There was this 1 wait staff who was rambling the description of the dish at the speed of sound, couldnβt make out what that dish was. Hors d oeuvres was tantalizing. Had extra cheese, truffle and wine. Main dish of pigeon confit was not as succulent as expected. Needless to say, all portions were small. Overall gastronomic experience was a disappointment. To finish the gloom, we paid $2100 for me and my husband celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary. Overall experience is not worth the price tag, huge disappointment.
Superb dining experience.
A special treat on a special day. Aunthentic experience and friendly chef.
Deserves a three-stars... on TripAdvisor
The welcome snacks were decent, but nothing outstanding. The donut seemed average and greasy, while the impromptu shrimp taco was good, and the onion tart was delightful. The following appetizer, mushroom tea - a mushroom soup infused with truffle, offered a rich and dense mushroom broth with the essence of truffle - was delicious, akin to immersing oneself in a forest basket full of mushrooms. The first course composed of sea urchin caviar and black caviar with mousse and shrimp. Since I initially warned that I did not like sea urchin caviar, they replaced the dish from black caviar to crab accompanied by apple and avocado. The crab taste was overshadowed by the apples, making it an inadequate substitute for black caviar in both price and flavor. I told the waiter about this, he offered to bring me this dish with caviar, but then he conveniently forgot about me. Their renowned signature egg dish, featuring yolk, potato mousse, and chorizo, presented a good blend of raw yolk with salty chorizo and soft potatoes. However, the inadequate amount of chorizo left one with only a regular yolk in the end, which was rather disappointing. For an additional $100, my husband upgraded the dish to langoustines with truffle generously sprinkled, creating a delicious and harmonious blend of flavors. It seems that to enjoy something truly tasty at this restaurant, one must be prepared to pay extra. The fish crudo course with dill received no complaints, while the scallop with chicory was flavorful but somewhat simplistic, not quite fitting for a three-star establishment. Now, onto the most disappointing aspect - the main signature dish. The medium-rare roasted pigeon had a peculiar taste reminiscent of offal, with a slightly strange smell. This type of meat may not appeal to everyone, making its presence on the menu somewhat odd. We expressed our dissatisfaction with the dish to the waiter. We were offered chicken as a replacement, which turned out to be simple chicken sous vide lacking any distinctive flavor or complexity. At $490 on the menu, this dish felt uninspired. The waiter suggested an alternative - foie gras with abalone broth, which proved more intriguing than the previous dishes but failed to deliver a phenomenal taste. Visiting a restaurant with a three-star rating, we expected surprises, unique culinary experiences, and intriguing flavor combinations to expand our palate. However, all the dishes at this establishment seemed basic, using common ingredients readily found in any restaurant. Singapore boasts a high standard of dining establishments, making it perplexing how this restaurant attained three stars; having visited over 15 Michelin-starred venues worldwide, we would rate this at most one star due to the lack of innovative solutions, interesting flavor pairings, or premium ingredients. Though some dishes showcased creative techniques, it was insufficient. Desserts were unremarkable, merely sweet cakes lacking balance or contrasting flavors to offset the sweetness. Service The service was inattentive, with dirty dishes left unattended on the table until a new dish was served. To sum up: Drawing from my extensive experience dining at Michelin-starred establishments, I can conclude that: - Service falls short of high standards - They donβt have their own toilet, only a shared one in the gallery, it takes 3 minutes to walk, where the cabins were found to be unclean. - The cuisine is simplistic, lacking fascinating flavor combinations, textures, or premium ingredients. Despite the $490 set menu price, the offering fails to reflect the expected quality. If you have visited most Michelin-starred restaurants in Singapore, a visit could be considered; however, if not, we do not recommend it. There are other establishments more deserving of your attention.
Better than Les Amis, not as good as Zen
This was the final three Michelin star restaurant we had to tick off in Singapore, and weβd say itβs more of Les Amisβ ilk than Zenβs. For us Zen is what weβre looking for, more contemporary. But Odette is more βclassicβ Michelin. So will depend on your tastes! Gripe first: even though, as with all three star restaurants, you often have to book months in advance for a reservation, Odette actually take a substantial deposit from your account. The money leaves your account. And it is non-refundable, even if you cancelled a minute later for a reservation in two months time. I have zero issue with holds being put on x amount and you needing to cancel a reservation with some notice, but this is militant. All sorts can change and itβs simply wrong to operate in this was. Iβd have happily given them a 4/5, same as Les Amis, if not for this. I think we were also a little more disappointed here than at Les Amis because Odette is in the Top 50 restaurant list, which often bucks the Michelin trend and rewards contemporary places. This definitely more βFrenchβ aka stuffy and formal. Not necessarily bad, just not what weβre looking for first and foremost. All that said: great dinner! Really enjoyed it. Weβd been to Zen the night before so it had a lot to live up to and it was not far off and, I think itβs worth stressing, mostly on subjective things. I can imagine some hating the music at Zen and loving it here. Service very professional and quite fun. I enjoyed asking the French sommelier for cheddar, red Leicester, and Stilton, when he just had Roquefort and some other rubbish from France. Food was very, very tasty. More drama than Zen, with smoke and table preparation, and that sort of thing. Doing dry January though and their non-alcoholic drinks very, very poor. We donβt necessarily mark them down for this, as itβs not uncommon, but in this day and age I think you really do need to offer more than a couple of sodas and a handful of non-alcoholic wines (urgh). We loved the decor, space, and view of the kitchen. Great location within the art gallery/museum. Finally, and sorry to keep comparing to Zen (that Iβm clearly obsessed with), it was a lot cheaper than the dinner the night before. Which is good! If you like classic Michelin, by which I mean lovely white, pressed table cloths, cheese presentations, and fawning over bread, this is probably for you (better, I think, than Les Amis, even though Iβve scored them worse for their deposit policy).
Good food
Beautiful food, beautiful dishes, but comparing to Europe, it should be 1 michelin star max. Nothing out of ordinary if you're a restaurant-goer. Friendly atmosphere. Very pricey
Amazing attention to detail
Odette is pretty expensive, no doubt about it. Bit of a challenge to find a bottle of wine much under $1000. So this is not a place you'd go every week, but it's definitely a place you should go some time. Incredibly inventive food and presentation. So many little details. One tip - we semi-circumnavigated the Gallery trying to figure out how to get in. Turns out that most of the entrances we walked past assuming to be closed, were in fact open. You just have to open the door. Who'd have thought it. Not us :)
As of this review they are ranked #14 in the world, #1 in
As of this review they are ranked #14 in the world, #1 in Asia, and of course are Michelin 3*. All for very, very good reason. The food is art, the wine pairing is essential and highly additive to the experience, and they exude modern class, down to the widely spaced tables, bright yet soft light, glass doors framing the kitchen, and chairs perfectly comfortable for a nearly four hour meal. Can't forget the cheese cart either, which was presented with skill and drew raves. As exquisite as the whole experience is, the wrinkle, of course, is that it absolutely should be for the price. Even if you are used to fine dining and wine pairings, it is very clear here they know that you are willing to pay for the experience. For the price paid here you could absolutely have two meals at some of their other Michelin-starred brethren, and that is enough to give me pause for a higher rating.

Lunch ~3 hours Menu - Choice of - Terre & Mer 5 Acts @ SGD328 (~$248 usd) Or - Epicure 7 Acts @ SGD498 (~$377 usd) Plus Service Fee and Tax Supplement Course x 1: Langoustine ravioli with white truffle @ SGD158 (~$120 usd) Pot of tea for two @ SGD12 (~$9 usd) 3 Star Michelin 6 in Asia's 50 Best 14 in World's 50 Best After I decided to make a trip out to Singapore, it took me some time to narrow down Odette to be my first fine dining in Asia. I have had eaten at star restaurants in Asia before but this was my first true fine dining experience in Asia. Odette is located within The National Gallery, a short distance by taxi from the bustling Orchard Road. It is advisable to catch a taxi if you dressed up for the occasion so not to sweat yourself out in the hot and humid weather in Singapore. As soon as we approached the front door of the restaurant, the maitre d' opened the double door and welcome us in. Inside was spacious and tables spaced reasonably apart. We were lead to one of the two best tables in front of the semi-open kitchen, signifying a great meal ahead. We were given a regular menu to choose from the 5 or 7 course meal plus couple other supplementary courses. Regrettably I forgot to take pictures of it. We ended up with the 7 course meal plus one supplement course of a langoustine ravioli with white truffle to share. As the menu is seasonal I am not going to elaborate on the dishes. Just know that every single dish was of quality and prepared delicately to perfection, sparing no details and offering high end ingredients. Beautifully presented and visually stunning enhancing and elevating one's dining experience. Worth every penny, not to be missed if you are financially manageable.

20th Wedding Anniversary Celebration @ Odette
I had the pleasure of celebrating my 20th anniversary at Odette and it was an exquisite culinary experience. The ambiance exuded elegant sophistication creating a perfect setting for an indulgent evening. The menu showcased a masterful blend of French flavors with innovative twists, each dish a testament to the chef's culinary artistry and showmanship. Impeccable presentation, attentive service, and a carefully curated wine list further elevated the dining experience. This restaurant is truly deserving of their 3 Michelin stars and Worldβs Best restaurant accolades.
If you only live once go to Odette.
WOW! Just wow⦠the food, the private room, the wine, the team. Odette is everything we had hoped for and more to celebrate a very special 50th birthday. The theatre behind the food is incredible and you can taste the passion in every morsel. So special.
Beyond amazing
We had the most fabulous evening at this fine establishment. The food was delicious , the presentation was dramatic, and the service was divine. Weβve been to many three star Michelin restaurants and Odette is in a class by itself. Elegant but not stuffy. The staff was knowledgeable about the wine ( and the list is extensive). The add ons to the set menu are offered in an irresistible way, be careful, they do add up. Special shout out to Vanessa who went above and beyond!
Good Service.
great overall experience in a gorgeous restaurant.The restaurant is located within the National Gallery of Singapore
It's a 3 star Michelin restaurant so You know it's damn
It's a 3 star Michelin restaurant so You know it's damn good. It was so Simply fantastic. It is located in the National Gallery so it wasn't the easiest to find. The service was impeccable, the food sublime and the ambience was elegant. Was is it expensive? hell yeah but we'll worth every penny and I was actually full by the end . They had some small batch sake which was fabulous. All the fish and uni was from Japan and most of the meats were from France . Went for my birthday while in Singapore for Formula 1. Try to make it here.
A really great overall experience in a gorgeous restaurant!
A really great overall experience in a gorgeous restaurant! Service is great with a great wine list. I had one of my favorite port wines at this restaurant and wish I had taken down the name of it!
My husband and I went to Odette when we visited Singapore,
My husband and I went to Odette when we visited Singapore, and overall it was a great experience and certainly at the level of a Michelin 3* restaurant, even before the pandemic. Around the world, service standards have suffered, especially at the higher and restaurants. That was not evident here because all the staff were very attentive and knowledgeable and present. A special remark goes to the staff who seamlessly interacted with us on different courses while still being aware of what we had eaten previously. My husband and I split the two menus, so I got the vegetarian and he got the meat option. This way we could see everything that they offered. And also, the wine pairing was completely different, which was a bonus. I won't go into all of the dishes because there's too many, and they are liable to change, but the highlights were the uni and caviar, the charred avocado, and the gorgeous smoked egg. Odette probably had the best wine pairing that I've ever had at a restaurant. Some wines were unattainable because they had great relationships with Italian wineries. Some wines were very expensive on both menus, and I say that because oftentimes it's just cheap white wines from the previous year on these venues, but that was not the case here. They even had some very high-level California reds that we had not had before. There was a lot of variety of wines between the vegetarian and meat menus. Wine service was seamless and the multiple wine servers were very knowledgeable about the offerings and why the pairings worked. Overall, a great meal, and certainly a highlight in Singapore.
I see why they have 3 Michelin stars! In terms of
I see why they have 3 Michelin stars! In terms of execution, concept of the dishes, menu progression, and balance of flavors, they've hit the spot on every criteria. Service was impeccable - our server, Sarah, was warm, hospitable, and knowledgeable of the food and menu. The restaurant is located inside the National Gallery, and is comfortably decorated. I'd say it was worth the splurge!
Great food with attentive service in the 3 Michelin Star
Great food with attentive service in the 3 Michelin Star restaurant which is located inside the national Gallery . It can be hard to find since the gallery is quite big. There are one vegetarian course and one non vegetarian 8 course meals. They have dishes with caviar, uni, prawn, blue lobster, fish, mackerel , pigeon, langoustine, desserts. At the end, they even give us a little take home gift. I absolutely love every single dish and their service is impeccable .
Very good quality but missing the "secret sauce"
The dining experience at Odette is exceptional - the food was really good, good presentation and strong service standards. However, I cannot justify the cost given what else is available worldwide at similar (if not lower prices) - consider Quay (Sydney), Gramercy Tavern (New York) or even Jaan (Singapore). The secret missing ingredient is the "story" from the staff - there is only a basic explanation provided in respect of each dish. I had to ask questions on the source of the ingredients etc. In other words, there is no emotional connection / journey built into the experience. As a simple example, Jaan (Singapore) was better experience and value for money - importantly, the Chef at Jaan comes to the table to present the main dish - an exceptionally nice touch that does not exist at Odette. Jaan also tells the story in respect of some of the dishes at least in terms of linking back to the Chefs heritage / upbringing in the UK - that connection is not sufficiently explored at Odette DURING the meal (NB: there is a lot of information on the website though)
Odette definitely lived up to their three Michelin stars.
Their wine pairing was one of the best I've ever had.
Highlight dinner in this Singapore trip
Odette... this has been on my wish list for years even before Covid but I have never been able to book it... Now that I can, I must seize this opportunity... The menu is simple in terms of choice, either vegetarian or the standard 7 course selection. I have been to the sister restaurant "Louise" in HK a few times and let me just say without visiting Odette, the experience is not complete. While the smoked organic egg was also available in the "Louise" menu, the Rosemary smoked organic egg at Odette completely re-defines my interpretation of this dish. The smell, texture and taste of the whole experience brings me to another level. Yes, the one at Louise was good but this was exceptional. As I already had the pigeon at "Claudine" for lunch that day, the staff there was kind enough to replace that course with poularde de bresse which I appreciated. Other memorable dishes on the menu would be the Marukyo Uni and scottish blue lobster. Overall, the staff was attentive but I must say that the hefty corkage (without a 1 for 1 policy) is quite overwhelming. I also noticed that not many tables were opening/drinking wines which I thought was very unusual. Memorable moments do come with a price, and obviously an experience at Odette is of no exception, but nonetheless, it is an experience I am more willing to pay for... and I am glad I had it with 2 of my closest friends here. One last note, do arrive at the venue earlier as the National Gallery is also a place worth visiting before your gastronomic journey.
Odette has been on my radar for years but I finally had a
Odette has been on my radar for years but I finally had a chance to travel to Singapore. As you likely know, Odette is not short of accolades with Chef Royer and Wan manning the helm. It is a michellin starred restaurants that was #36 and 8th best in Asia (I don't get how that panned out on the 50 best asia list but it is what it is). It is located IN the national gallery. Not nearby but in it. The tasting menu is pricey running ~485 singapore dollars with supplement. The night we visited it was a langoustine ravioli with white truffle to replace the smoked hen's egg. In normal fashion, we opted to just add it on instead for an additional 205 SGD. Although we had delicious uni and caviar, the star of the night was the Scottish lobster in yuzu and saki reduction. When I think of each restaurant I visit, I ask myself, is there a dish that when I close my eyes and I can remember? This was the dish for me. The tender lobster with the sweet saki reduction and hint of yuzu was the pinnacle of the night for me. Obviously the langostine ravioli was covered with white truffle and had a nice hint of shiso but still nothing on that lobster! All in all, Odette falls amongst some of my favourite restaurants and truly a great experience. Highly recommended for your visit to Singapore.
TLDR: Odette is EVERY bit worth the hype and one of the
TLDR: Odette is EVERY bit worth the hype and one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. It's no wonder a reservation is hard to get - this is once in a lifetime experience.SETTING: The restaurant is located within the National Gallery of Singapore, so in order to get to the restaurant, you walk through the ground floor of the Gallery. It's a very unique setting, in a very cool location. The interior is minimal, with all white/cream colors, round banquet style booths around the perimeter of the restaurant, and tables in the middle, with very comfortable seating. Tables are spaced widely apart, so you have privacy and lots of space. I loved the design of this restaurant - it was cozy yet classy, minimal yet opulent.FOOD: The food... God. I loved the story of Odette and the Executive Chef's inspiration behind his creations. You can tell how much he loves food just in the care and attention to detail given to each and every dish. When we started with some of the most delicious amuse-bouche we've ever had, we knew we were in for a treat. But we did not expect to be fully blown away by every single dish. Each time I didn't think it could get ANY better, it somehow did. Every single plate (in a long line of plates) was almost licked clean...and when I was full/didn't think I could take another bite, I surprised myself and did. Because it was that fantastic of a meal, nothing could (or should) be wasted!SERVICE: This is another factor in why Odette stands apart (and makes the difference between a 2-star Michelin place and a 3-star Michelin place). The staff here was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and hospitable. The presentations of each dish were like a beautifully rehearsed performance/dance. The service here only added to the incredible food and experience.VERDICT: Odette will stand out in my memory as one of the best meals of my life. When I'm in Singapore again, and if I'm lucky enough to come back, I will be here in a heart beat! Until then, I highly recommend those lucky enough to be in Singapore to make a reservation here. You will not regret it!
My boyfriend and I were excited to get the chance to
My boyfriend and I were excited to get the chance to experience Odette after seeing that it was ranked best restaurant in Asia and the fantastic reviews. We booked dinner reservations for our last trip to Singapore about a month in advance and chose the non-vegetarian tasting menu when we arrived. The location is beautiful and in the National Gallery Singapore which makes it a great place to check off our bucket list of Singapore. Everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was great! Most of the dishes felt balanced and I particularly liked the Rosemary Smoked Egg, Mushroom Tea, and Kinki fish course. What I didn't like was the Smoked Pigeon which was too gamey and strong for me (I saw a few tables substitute this for a version of Hainanese Chicken which we probably should have done as well) and the dessert course which consisted of little treats which were just ok and a tad too sweet overall.
Birthday
We tried the 7 courses, great ambiance chic and simple, 3 courses very amazing but a bit disappointed by the rest for the price. Good to try but we will not come back
OK. So when you get 3 Michelin stars and are voted the top
OK. So when you get 3 Michelin stars and are voted the top restaurant in Asia and Top restaurant in the world and I am heading to your town, you better believe I am going to stop in. Initially the prices terrified me, so opted for a lunch stop instead of dinner, and chose to have wine by the glass rather than a pairing. Great year to go as the US Dollar finally had the upper hand.I will say...HANDS DOWN the best meal I have ever had. For starters, having an entire vegetarian/plant based option menu is something that the US just needs to get behind.Service from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave is impeccable.Food presentation is outstanding and every bite has so much to offer. The flavors were evident. I thought (because at most fine dining places this happens) we would leave still feeling hungry but indeed I was wrong. We were satisfied completely. We were not hungry until really late at night.Highly recommend coming to Odette in SingaporeFew tips: Book in advance, at least 1 month, and when you go, it is in the national museum, not easy to find as you have to walk through to get to the restaurant (the easiest entrance was blocked so we had to go around), allow yourself 10 minutes to get into the restaurant.The champagne that is offered soon as you sit down is not included, ask about prices before you agree to a glass.
My husband and I visit Michelin starred restaurants often,
My husband and I visit Michelin starred restaurants often, and Odette has made it to the top of our most favorite list!We came during our honeymoon trip to Singapore. The place was kind of difficult to find, since it's inside of a museum, and we came right when they opened. Immediately we were greeted by the friendly staff and the excellent customer service lasted the entire meal. The food was AMAZING. Every single dish we had was mind blowing and unique. Our top 3 favorites were: Rosemary Smoked Organic Egg (smoked potato syphon, chorizo iberico, meunière), Seaweed Butter Glazed Scallop (nori, menton lemon, sauce perle) and the Kampot Pepper Crusted Pigeon (sollies figs, black garlic, piedmont hazelnut). The desserts were also delicious and they even gave us a special dessert, compliments of the chef, to celebrate our honeymoon! Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking to experience some fine dining in Singapore!
Michelin Star Experience
Excellent ambience and service. Presentation of each item - visual, audio and taste of course. Try their 7 course Epicure menu. Need to book ahead. Great for lunch or dinner. Great for anniversary.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Odette Singapore at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Odette Singapore page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Odette Singapore to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Odette Singapore!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
