“Les Ducs” (“The Dukes” in French) is Pacquelin’s witty, polished take on the French dining experience for the contemporary diner in Singapore. Calling it “French fun dining”, he reimagines hearty brasserie signatures with a playful approach that is anchored by a sense of place. The result is French comfort food with Asian inflections — unmistakable traditional Gallic cooking with a soupçon of favourite local flavours.For larger reservations, kindly call us at +65 9853 4710.

    Buko Nero continues to be one of our favourite Italian restaurants. The food is consistently excellent, with every dish prepared to a high standard and full of authentic flavours. Equally impressive is the warm and attentive service, which has remained unchanged over the years. What truly sets Buko Nero apart is the personal touch from the owners, Tracy and Oscar. Despite our long absence , they still remembered our names and welcomed us back like old friends. That level of genuine hospitality is rare and speaks volumes about their dedication to their customers. Dining at Buko Nero feels like coming home to a warm, family meal. The combination of outstanding food, heartfelt service and a cosy atmosphere is highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience with the warmth of home.

    As someone with celiac disease, there are so few places in Singapore where I can eat safely, but this is one of them. They are extremely knowledgeable about cross contamination and have amazing protocols. They can make any pasta gluten-free and even have GF pizza! (Because they make a limited amount of GF dough in the morning, it is safest to make a reservation and state how many GF pizzas you will need, to be sure they will be able to accommodate you.) My gluten-eating family ate here with me and loved it. Everyone wants to go back and try more things from the menu. This place is a gem!
