Odette is known as after a revered matriach in Chef Julien Royer’s life: his grandmother.
“She is actually someone very essential to me, and the person who actually showed me how much passion, pleasure, happiness and emotion you may give to people through food,” he told CNBC.
Originally from central France, Royer rose to the highest of the culinary world in 2019, when Odette was awarded three Michelin stars and named the most effective restaurant in Asia.
The restaurant — housed in Singapore’s sprawling National Gallery — serves French-Asian cuisine in an ethereal dining room adorned with pink terrazzo, gray velvet and liberal touches of nickel and marble.
The restaurant, said Royer, is designed to be a respite from the skin world.
“I need people to are available, to feel comfortable within the environment that now we have created. I need people to have time and hopefully ignore their day by day worries of life.”
