The owner Ignatius Chan was a sommelier at the Oriental and Raffles Hotels before joining Les Amis Restaurant. The wine list consists of mainly European selections with an emphasis on French Burgundy including Iggy’s own label South Gippsland, Australian Pinot Noir although not inexpensive at S$140.
The original 10-seat counter has been increased to 13 and faces the open kitchen; it is comfortable, especially as I enjoy dining at bars or counters, mainly because of the access to immediate service. There are also some small private dining rooms. For lunch a three-course table d’hôte and a six-course tasting menu are offered. For dinner you may choose from an eight course tasting menu or vegetarian menu.
