6. Saint Pierre

Hugely overrated
Why is this restaurant still in respectable guidebooks to Singapore? Perhaps there is nothing better. Prices are high, which would not be a problem if the food was good enough. It simply is not. The presentation seems to have gotten stuck in the 80s, it's all a bit geometric. The overall experience is bland and uninspired. And overpriced.

A pleasant surprise.
My wife and I just celebrated our anniversary at Saint Pierre. We were a bit skeptical with what we would find since they closed for renovations during the whole month of March. Food was good, pricing was affordable, and the new ambiance stunning. I am looking forward to going back to sample their new degustation menu.

when saint pierre first opened, the food and ambiance were wonderful, then came the commercialism and the hype and it lost its charm and standards dropped. granted, the food is still among the top in Singapore, but the ambiance (ikea lamps) just don't cut it. On top of that, the service level is not always there.
