La Dame de Pic at Raffles Singapore
/One of the world’s top female chefs with a total of seven Michelin stars under her belt, Anne-Sophie Pic makes her debut into Asia with La Dame de Pic, Raffles Singapore.
The 46-seater embodies an air of timeless elegance with a touch of personality and spirit. Soft pink hues and rich plums are matched with grey clay tones and metallic accents, while a peony bas relief graces the ceiling. Taking centre stage in the restaurant is a gold chandelier composed of tiers of discs with laser-cut spades, a play on ‘La Dame de Pic’ which translates to ‘queen of spades’, and wall sconces that play on circular geometries add an element of charm and enchantment while making a bold and definitive creative statement in the dining space.
At the helm is Chef de Cuisine Francesco Di Marzio who has been personally handpicked by Anne-Sophie to lead the kitchen.
We loved tasting our way through the elegance degustation menu, completed with wine and sake pairing.
The menu drew influences from Valence and also the South East Asian region, Highlights included the Berlingots – iconic pasta parcels found in all of Anne-Sophie Pic’s restaurants around the world with unique and slight adaptations to reflect the
character of each establishment’s locale. At La Dame de Pic, Raffles Singapore the incarnation of the signature Berlingots incorporates a local touch with a new flavour association using herb of grace, also known as Chou Cao, which enhances the Berlingots’ French cheese fondue filling.
Other highlights included the Lobster from Brittany, slow-roasted with shellfish butter and served with a coriander-and-barley-infused broth; and Wild Sea Bass with Oscietra caviar and Champagne sauce created by Chef Anne-Sophie Pic’s father in 1971. The culinary magic continued with desserts such as Anne-Sophie Pic’s signature and truly iconic White Mille-feuille, featuring ginger flower light cream, confit grapefruit for a decadent finish to the dining experience.
The extensive beverage menu at La Dame de Pic, Raffles Singapore is elaborate and diverse, and we loved that the in-house sommelier was well skilled in the delicate art of pairing.
La Dame de Pic invites guests to discover the world of Anne-Sophie Pic’s culinary identity which reflects her search for aromatic complexity, combinations of flavours and powerful tastes that evoke emotions. Truly magical.
