What Michelin
say, “Housed within the National Gallery
and occupying what was once the registration room of the Supreme Court is this
most discreet and intimate of restaurants - named by chef Julien Royer after
his grandmother. His superlative modern dishes use top-notch ingredients and
are not just dazzling in their looks but also display great finesse and
elegance. Service is very polished and the glass doors into the kitchen give
glimpses of the alchemy within.”
At the time of visiting, Odette was ranked No.9
on the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants
list – see
here.
Odette is a stunning
restaurant in a beautiful and historical location. The service is slick and the
food was sublime.
We first ate
Julien’s food back in 2013, when he was head chef at JAAN (see here) – we loved that meal and it’s great to see that his
talents have continued to grow and now be celebrated with Two Michelin Stars
and places on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants (at No.9) and The World’s Best (at
No.86) lists.
