Opened in 1887, Raffles Singapore is one of the last remaining truly grand hotels in the world.
With its 19th-century architecture perfectly preserved inside and out, Raffles is the home of the famous Singapore Sling and is undergoing a complete restoration.
The famous Long Bar has been refurbed and is now open in its original location, while the hotel this week opened the doors to La Dame Pic, an eatery to be overseen by Anne-Sophie Pic, one of the world's leading chefs.
Pic was only the fourth woman to gain three Michelin stars and La Dame de Pic replaces Raffles Grill.
Anne-Sophie Pic hails from a long lineage of chefs with the Pic family's culinary heritage beginning when their first restaurant started in 1889. She is a third-generation Michelin-starred chef from Valence in the South of France.
“Making our debut in Asia at Raffles Singapore is a very natural choice for me," Pic said. "Like Raffles, the Pic family's culinary heritage spans more than a century.
"Just like this beautiful hotel that will become one of our overseas residences, we are storytellers and constant seekers of excellence. Together, we share the vision to provide distinctive experiences to our guests,delivered with innovation that combines both tradition and change.”
The 46-seat La Dame de Pic will be headed by chef de cuisine Kevin Gatin who has been a protégé of Anne-Sophie Pic for several years and has been hand-picked by her.
