The Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants award is one of the most reputable awards in the food and beverage industry. This award showcases the signature dishes and refined culinary techniques of some of the finest chefs and restaurants in Asia. For the sixth edition held recently, seven restaurants in Singapore secured a spot in the list of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants2.
Here are the top three restaurants in Singapore that made the cut.
Odette
Located at one of Singapore’s iconic landmarks – the National Gallery, Odette is listed as the fifth best restaurant in Asia1. This contemporary restaurant serves refined French cuisine to its diners. One of their signature dishes is the pine-smoked organic egg2. This dish is served with a sous vide egg in its shell. It is presented in an egg tray with pine cones as decorations. The egg slips out of its shell onto a plate. This is served with duck pancetta, mushrooms, and shaved truffles.
