Nicolas farewell dinner

À BIENTÔT, NICOLAS

We’ve known Chef Nicolas for almost as long as some of our winegrowers, and have eaten at all his restaurants in both Singapore and Bangkok. We’ve seen him get married, have kids (three “little monsters”), and develop as one of Singapore’s best and under-rated chefs. It is with a heavy heart that we bid him farewell as he goes to Japan and France to refresh himself and seek inspiration. He says he might be back, but who knows what the future holds? He’s been very gracious in opening the restaurant on a Monday night just for our guests in his final, hectic week of running the restaurant.

We’ve picked wines which both Nicolas and ourselves know well, and hope you will enjoy them with the menu for the evening. We start in Champagne, like all civilised folks, take in the western Loire with a Muscadet and a Savennières from the 1999 vintage, zoom to the Savoie with the magician of Mondeuse, and wrap up in the eastern Loire with a finely poised Vouvray. We hope to see you at dinner.
