Traditional French Food, Reimagined

About

Heart-warming French Cuisine Paired with Genuine Hospitality

Set in a two-storied heritage house within the gardens of PMQ, Louise is collaboration between Yenn Wong, Founder of JIA Group, The Lo & Behold Group and acclaimed Chef Julien Royer, who is honoured with the #1 position in the “Asia’s 50 Best” and #18 in the “World’s 50 Best” awards with his 3-Michelin star in Singapore restaurant Odette.

With the same passion and focus but a different concept, Louise is Chef Royer’s tribute to the simple joys of familial love and honest cooking. Our dishes are derived from teasing the best possible flavours from quality ingredients using cooking techniques that toe the line between fine dining and everyday fare, paired with genuine hospitality. Traditional French food, reimagined.

Acclaimed architect Andre Fu and his AFSO Studio have transformed the heritage building into an intimately chic colonial residence. Welcoming guests into her home, Louise offers relaxed all-day dining and drinks in the Parlour or an invitation to the upstairs Dining Room where lunch and dinner are served a la carte.

Bon Appetit!

Our Team
 Julien Royer
Chef - Founder
Chef Julien Royer’s first venture into the kitchen under the legendary Michel Bras in Laguiole instilled in him a respect for the integrity of each ingredient and a commitment to showcasing its brilliant flavours. He then moved to Durtol in the heart of Auvergne, where he began working for Maitre Cuisinier de France Bernard Andrieux who continued to reinforce the beliefs his upbringing had instilled in him. Julien’s culinary career then took him from the French West Indies to Polynesia and London, where he was sous chef to Antonin Bonnet at Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant, The Greenhouse. He then moved to Singapore, where he has resided since 2011. He launched Odette in partnership with The Lo & Behold Group in 2015, which combined his core culinary values of quality produce, honest cooking and genuine hospitality. The restaurant has since clinched Three Michelin stars and in 2019 took the spot of top restaurant in Asia’s 50 Best and #18 in the World’s 50 Best awards.
