Highly recommend this, overall such a great experience! We loved the staff who served us, Sara you made our experience so fun. Food was lovely too 😊
Great place and team, I got presented with a labeled jam as a gift at the end of the night. The total bill ended up being S$1254 for two people (Epicure Menu), which is a lot by all means, but given the 3-star rating and the fame of the restaurant, it is worth visiting if you have the chance!
It was an amazing fine dining experience. From the moment we walked in to when we were leaving and were given a special gift, we were treated like VIPs...a must do at least once. I don't know whether I'll ever eat pigeon again, though it was OK for my first time
I had the pleasure of celebrating my 20th anniversary at Odette and it was an exquisite culinary experience. The ambiance exuded elegant sophistication creating a perfect setting for an indulgent evening. The menu showcased a masterful blend of French flavors with innovative twists, each dish a testament to the chef's culinary artistry and showmanship. Impeccable presentation, attentive service, and a carefully curated wine list further elevated the dining experience. This restaurant is truly deserving of their 3 Michelin stars and World’s Best restaurant accolades.
Odette at the National Gallery Singapore is a culinary masterpiece that transcends traditional dining experiences. Nestled within the stunning museum, the restaurant itself is a work of art, boasting elegant interiors that mirror the grace of its namesake, Odette, the principal character in Swan Lake.
The menu, curated by Chef Julien Royer, is a symphony of flavors and textures. Each dish is a meticulously crafted expression of creativity and precision. The attention to detail is apparent from the moment the first course arrives, with ingredients sourced globally to ensure the highest quality.
The tasting menu unfolds like a narrative, with each course seamlessly transitioning to the next. Standout dishes include the Hokkaido Uni with Brittany langoustine, a delicate dance of oceanic richness, and the Rosemary Smoked Organic Egg, an indulgent creation that marries earthy aromas with velvety textures.
Service at Odette is impeccable, with a knowledgeable and attentive staff guiding guests through the culinary journey. The wine pairings are equally impressive, enhancing the overall dining experience.
While the price reflects the restaurant's commitment to excellence, Odette at the National Gallery Singapore is a destination for connoisseurs seeking a transcendent gastronomic adventure, where artistry on the plate meets the ambiance of a world-class museum.

I certainly had very high expectations of Odette, it having 3 Michelin stars and being #14 in The World's 50 Best Restaurants list at the time of the visit (november 2023).
Well, fame is definitely not everything! From start to finish, what lacked was soul and personality, and the whole experience made me think reputation by terms of media and rankings might be increasingly decadent.
To start off, we were offered a small and uncomfortable-looking table right by the entrance door, even though I had reserved a table in the Private Dining Room over a month prior. We had to insist on being placed in the intended room.
The whole time, it felt like we were doing the restaurant a favor being there and I could sense so much pretentiousness in service, food and ambiance. The flavor and even the high quality ingredients were shadowed by this and the gimmicky presentations of the food.
At a USD 500/SGD 700 price point per person (without wine pairing), I most definitely cannot recommend Odette to anyone.

Tried the 7 course meal for a celebratory lunch.
The food was great - loved the Maryuko Uni, smoked organic egg and the desserts. ‘Blanc’ the dessert was phenomenal.
However, service was quite average. The waiters rushed through explanations of their dishes. And while they tried to entertain our questions about the dishes, the way that they did it was quite cursory and generally seemed quite reluctant to hold a conversation.

My visit to Odette's was nothing short of extraordinary. The accolade of being named the best restaurant in Asia at the World's 50 Best Awards 2023 and climbing to 14th in the world from 36th last year is well-deserved. This was without a doubt the most enjoyable dining experience I've ever had.
While most three Michelin star restaurants give off a corporate-professional vibe that might make dining unnerving, Odette's team made us feel at ease with their welcoming, professionally relaxed demeanour.
The flavours in each dish were exquisite, and the meal's progression was beautifully planned out. Chef Julien and the entire Odette team deserve a lot of praise for not only making the World's Best list, but also keeping their three Michelin stars for the 3rd straight year.

What a lovely and delicious evening out in Singapore. Service was what you would expect from a 3* establishments. All the dishes, from the butter to the pigeon, were out of this world. The staff was well orchestrated and did a great job of providing information on each dish and engaging us in conversation throughout the evening. Having been fortunate enough to dine at other 2 & 3* restaurants around the globe I would put this in my top 3 in a very close race with Mudec in Milan for number 1 and edging out French Laundry in terms of the menu. I will definitely try to secure another reservation next time I'm in Singapore.
Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Odette.. was difficult to get a booking so we were pretty excited about securing one during our trip to Singapore.
Service was top-notch and our experience there can only be described in one word - magnificent. It’s no wonder they’re the 14th best restaurant in the world.

Outstanding restaurant. Fine dining at its finest. A seven course with the wine flight makes this an extremely indulgent dining experience. I’ll let the photos and videos do the talking. Must visit at least once if you’re a gastronomer.
My first 3 star Michelin experience. I found the service a little stiff, as the evening progressed the staff loosened up a bit which was nice, everything was so extra, the presentation of the food was so interesting and exciting. The food was good but I can probably tick off this experience. Make sure you like seafood! A once and a lifetime experience!
It was pretty cool we got to meet the chefs after.

Odette has always been on my to-try list and this year I was treated to a birthday dinner here!
An amazing French experience savoring the 7-course meal. We were totally impressed by the presentation as well as the flavour of each dish. Not to mention the excellent and attentive service by the crew! It was also nice of them to gift a bottle of strawberry jam for every guest.
An unforgettable meal, or rather gourmet journey at this 3-starred michelin.

Wonderful experience and every Act definitely all came with a wow factor. Had the wine pairing too, which I thought was a little expensive compared to the cost of the wine, but overall the pairing was done artfully. Favourite dish = pigeon
Odette is now (and will be for a very long time) my favourite restaurant in Singapore. The experience is unforgettable and the food exquisite and delicious. It is a must try and I will find any excuse to go back!
This restaurant truly lives up to its Michelin 3-stars rating. Every dish impresses and none disappointing.
The food was so good that I was quiet most of the meal because I was so busy savouring every mouthful of food.
Thank you, Chef Julien!
