Odette review - Odette’s reputation precedes it. A consistent presence on the World’s 50 Best, Asia’s 50 Best, and adorned with the coveted 3 Michelin
Odette Singapore restaurant at the National Gallery has won a lot of accolades in the short span of five years. From zero to three Michelin Stars. Unfortunately prices seemed to keep pace with the awards. We had almost given up hope of dining there. Until recently.
Such an upscale place meant that the service and decor were there to match, right down to the gorgeous stemware. Fortunately, lunch prices weren't as bad as I thought they would be; even the cheaper four course meal came with an array of amuse-bouche, palate cleansers, and petit fours, so much that we were stuffed.

Odette is the most coveted restaurant to dine at in 2019, having toppled long time winner Gaggan to become The World's Best Restaurant in Asia, and then clinching its third Michelin star for the first time.
With such a delightful experience, I wouldn’t rule out an annual pilgrimage to Odette.
If kaiseki dining has a modern French sibling, we reckon Odette would be it.
During our entire meal here, we felt that the food was impressive; the flavours and the play of textures had seemingly brought our tastebuds on a trip to many levels that we had never felt before.
Chef Julian Royer’s style has become more distinctive in Odette, with an interplay of textures, balanced subtlety, with use top quality ingredients to create pieces of culinary art. Service was top-notch, nothing was overly gimmicky – thank goodness. Till date, my favourite new restaurant in Singapore for 2015.
