Odette's new chapter

The Straits Times

|

January 11, 2026

Odette is marking its 10th anniversary in a big way.

The 40-seat restaurant at the National Gallery Singapore reopened with a new look after closing for three months in 2025 for renovations, and there are collaborations with big-name chefs coming up.

Chef Julien Royer, 43, says: "I think 10 years is a good mark of maturity, and the restaurant has, touch wood, been doing really well in the last 10 years. I thought it was a good point for us to improve the facilities for our guests and for ourselves, and take a pause to reflect on that milestone.

"I've been taught by great people in the industry that even after 10 years, a restaurant needs to keep growing. So, either you rest on your laurels or you take a risk and invest for the future. We believe that this refresh is a necessary step to deepen our commitment to a more intentional and honest approach to fine dining."
