I really hesitate to leave bad reviews, as I am aware that they can potentially have a negative impact for a business. But unfortunately our recent experience at this restaurant demands one. We have eaten at 1, 2 and 3 Michelin star restaurants around the world and I’m still bemused by our meal at La Dame de Pic. Positives first: the staff were excellent. Charming and informative. Big tick there. The look of the restaurant itself is chic too. And the matching wine/sake/beer etc option was interesting and very well presented by the sommelier. These are the only reasons I’ve given 2 stars in this review. But the food…it really was not good. After a decent start with the amuse bouches, the courses got worse and worse. It’s as if no one in the kitchen is actually tasting the food. The approach seems to be to take French cuisine and crash it into individual, mismatched, overly concentrated/distilled elements of Asian cuisine. I get that the French-Asian combination is the concept of the restaurant, but every course was over-powered with jarring kaffir lime, citrus, pepper or anchovy/pungent fish flavours - including seemingly each desert! We are adventurous eaters, but some of the courses were virtually inedible. Presentation was generally very good. Flavours were not. When we mentioned to our waiter that we hadn’t enjoyed a particular course, it seemed that he was able to immediately identify why (ie what elements of the dish didn’t work), without us having to explain. My impression was that he’d either tasted the dish in question and agreed with us and/or had heard the same complaints before! One more gripe for the restaurant - please don’t bring a trolley with digestifs to the table without any indication of price. It’s embarrassing for your guests and feels like a grift. My wife asked jokingly if we would have to mortgage our house if we selected something. The waiter said something vague about prices not being unreasonable then asked for our order. We took him at his word, but the cost added to the bill for the 2 digestifs was far from reasonable, imho. By way of comparison, the week before our meal at La Dame de Pic we ate at a 1 Michelin star restaurant in Edinburgh (Restaurant Martin Wishart) with a group of 4. Tasting menus all round and matching wines for 2 of us at the Edinburgh restaurant. Clearly, cost isn’t everything, but the total bill at the Edinburgh restaurant for 4 of us was $500 less than the bill for 2 of us at La Dame de Pic. And the food at the Edinburgh restaurant was truly delicious. A complete contrast to our experience in Singapore. As I mentioned at the start, I don’t like leaving bad reviews. I don’t often leave reviews on TripAdvisor and most of the reviews I do leave are overwhelmingly positive. But with a bill of almost Sing$2k for food the often tasted unpleasant, this restaurant literally left a bad taste in my mouth. It’s always a risk that you won’t enjoy the food at a particular restaurant - particularly those that attempt to innovate- and generally that’s a risk we are prepared to take, as we love food. But there is a difference between challenging/innovative food on the one hand, and bad flavour combinations on the other. Based on our experience, I simply cannot recommend this restaurant. And as a final thought - if any readers of this review are wondering why we didn’t complain more strongly when we were there - honestly, we couldn’t see the point. Based on what was coming out of the kitchen, we felt that any replacement/alternative courses would have compounded the issue. And I have no doubt that any complaint would have inevitably ended up in an uncomfortable and lengthy discussion/dissection of our experience. By the end of the meal we were simply exhausted and wanted to leave.
