Les Amis first opened its doors in 1994 and has had an extensive remodel in 2007 by Tan Kay Ngee, a local architect. The facade exudes nothing unusual and is almost unnoticeable and the interior might be considered cold by some.
Two of the orginal founding partners, Justin Quek and Ignatius Chan have left; Quek to open restaurants in Taiwan and Chan has opened Iggy’s at the Regent Hotel, chef Gunther Hubrechsen left to start his own restaurant Gunther’s also in Singapore. There are queries whether the new resident chef, Thomas Mayr who has worked the circuit in Italy, Germany and the United States will be able to continue the former level of unfailing ingenuity and quality of the previous kitchen.
I believe it will be difficult to capture the restaurant’s original esteem and only time will tell if it will make marks with its new direction.
