Sophistication is still foremost although the ambience is much livelier, with posies of sunflowers at every table. There are few restaurants in Singapore that do French haute cuisine as well as Les Amis. The upmarket crowd that Les Amis attracts also takes pleasure in wining and dining leisurely, the French way. A good introduction to the restaurant's mastery is the composition of foie gras. Moving from the cold tartin to the crispy pan-fried foie gras thrills the senses.
More ambrosia awaits in the main courses.
The restaurant's signature steamed and panfried Atlantic black cod is a triumph. The chargrilled steak at Les Amis deserves accolades too. Prepared delicately with few condiments, the well-cut slab of meat arrives at its best with all its natural juices intact. For sweets, the Calvados souffle is a must-have. Les Amis indisputably has one of the finest wine lists in the republic.
