Les Amis

Singapore

Landmark French luxury in the Lion City

On the Pass

Sebastien Lepipnoy

What’s in a name? Les Amis, the French translation of 'friends', is the sophisticated original restaurant of the Les Amis Group. In the 1990s, there was a dearth of independent fine-dining restaurants in Singapore. On opening in 1994, Les Amis filled the void and has grown to become the ultimate French fine diner in the city state.

Leading the pack: Sebastien Lepinoy commands the kitchen as an alumnus of L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Hong Kong and the now defunct Cépage in the same city. Lepinoy spent a total of 17 years with Joël Robuchon before he joined the Les Amis group.

Unforgettable dishes: Current Lepinoy dishes include egg meurette with layers of black truffle and bourguignonne sauce; roasted duck breast served with ginger caramel pear; wagyu beef tenderloin with natural jus and potato soufflées; and his take on the classic baba au rum, served with a lightly whipped crème fleurette.

Superb service: Lepinoy’s restaurant, winner of the Art of Hospitality Award in 2020, is an acolyte of guest-forward thinking. Diners are welcomed with the finest white-gloved hospitality and every server – of cheese, truffles and caviar – has an exceptional knowledge in their respective field.
