Singapore is no stranger to celebrity chef restaurants in luxury hotels – think Josh Niland’s Fysh at The Singapore Edition, Dario Cecchini’s Bottega di Carna at Mondrian Singapore Duxton and many others. Adding to the litany is renowned Dutch chef Sergio Herman who brings his third Le Pristine outlet to the refurbished Grand Hyatt Singapore. Herman is most known for transforming his family’s mussel restaurant Oud Sluis – now defunct – into a three-Michelin-starred establishment. At Le Pristine Singapore, guests can expect to taste Herman’s interpretation of Italian flavours using ingredients from Zeeland, a coastal province north of Antwerp known for its seafood. Local touches are not amiss either, as Herman presents his interpretation of the iconic chilli crab with the pizzette king chilli crab.
Le Pristine is more than a restaurant – the space is also a culmination of Herman’s love for music, art, design and fashion. Those with a keen eye will notice art pieces by prominent Dutch artists like the Rotganzen art collective and Maarten Baas.
