Les Amis: The legendary benchmark of French cuisine in Singapore
Location and atmosphere
Les Amis is located in the heart of Singapore's Orchard Road shopping district (address: 1 Scotts Road, #02-16 Shaw Centre) and has been an iconic presence in Asian French cuisine since 1994. The restaurant occupies the second floor of a modern commercial building, where its understated black entrance contrasts strikingly with the interior ambiance—crystal chandeliers illuminate dark walnut walls, while leather chairs and white linen tablecloths outline classic French elegance. Authentic contemporary French art adorns the walls, and generously spaced tables ensure a private and tranquil dining experience.
Features and concepts
Les Amis, with the core philosophy of "contemporary heritage of classic French cuisine," specializes in traditional dishes from Burgundy and Provence. The culinary team insists on sourcing ingredients from small European producers: Brittany blue lobster, Périgord black truffle, and Charolais beef, while boasting one of Asia's most extensive wine cellars (featuring over 2,000 curated labels). The chef recreates the flavors of French cuisine's golden age through precise heat control and intricate sauce techniques.
