Le Pristine Singapore by Michelin-starred Chef Sergio Herman at Grand Hyatt Singapore offers an elegant and peacefully cocooned three-course lunch affair ($85++) in the heart of Orchard Road.
Featuring Chef Herman’s very own New Italian cuisine, the menu pays a contemporary tribute to the purity of Italian flavours, his deep-rooted Zeeland heritage from the southwestern coast of the Netherlands, and the freshest produce, as Zeeland is renowned for its pristine waters and exceptional seafood. The menu offers a showcase of signature dishes embodying the essence of New Italian cuisine, seamlessly woven with local inflections inspired by Singapore’s vibrant culinary landscape.
Menu choices keep rotating, but signature creations such as the Pizzette, Collapsed Tiramisu, and Le Pristine Signature Seafood Orecchiette remain infinitely available (add $20++ supplement for the latter). Other must-try choices include the Irish Mór Oyster with Chinese Mule cocktail, Rice Stew with Japanese rockfish and mussels, as well as the Pot-au-Feu with Roscoff onion, artichoke, and green beans.
