DELICIOUS DINING

VENUE by Sebastian: Down-to-earth and tasty sharing plates take centre stage in this new 80-seater opened by one of Singapore’s most illustrious chefs Sebastian Ng in the Central Business District. The breezy and open restaurant serves up contemporary European fare in a casual setting and includes chef-owner Sebastian’s signature French-style dishes with an Asian influence such as angel hair pasta with sakura ebi, konbu and chilli. venuebysebastian.com

Formerly from the Le Montana in Paris where he led the hotel’s L’Epicurien restaurant to its first Michelin star and retaining it the following year, Chef Jérémy takes local and regional produce and whips up dishes like Seabream Broccoli and Pork Beetroots with an element of surprise. audace.com.sg
