Lerouy - 104 Amoy St

Nice snacks to start with, the rest of the courses were served at perfect temperature - warmed plates ? and we had the private room as it’s 4 of us, would have preferred to sit out there for an enhanced visual feast. Date of visit : 23 Dec, 2021

I gave it 4 stars because of details and great effort. Food was of excellent quality but was a blur of similarly plated ingedients. All in a thick creamy sauce of sorts.(Since not much effort was accorded to the introduction of the dish. Merely naming components is not really counted as an intro.) The cabbage dish was the star of the night. The others unfortunately were already forgotten... The ambience was pleasant enough but the stern, unfriendly- faced service staff was not. There is potential; but overall it was still a nice experience...

Lerouy, pronounced “loo-ree” or at least that was what i heard when the staff picked up the phone to take my reservation, serves up modern french cuisine. Most of the dishes lean towards higher acidity in taste while the rest are savoury. I can’t say it is fantastic but probably good enough for only 1 Michelin star. Service was efficient and the kitchen was in full view of every customer. I saw a server accidentally caused a canape to topple slightly on its side and sent back to the plating station. Instead of just pushing it back upright and fixing it slightly, it was discarded and a new one was made. So they are very particular about their standards and presentation. However the staff seems pretty stressed and does not seem to enjoy their job. I did not see a single staff smile throughout my meal, except for the head chef who was entertaining some guests. Maybe a very strict boss. Toilet is clean.

Out of all the experience in Michelin star or Michelin guide places, this one is subpar for us. The things I like: The interior design of the restaurant is the one I give the highest rating. I love the trendy minimalist feel. One more minor detail, the scent in the restaurant is also pleasant and clean. The food did not work out for us. We went for the five-course meal lunch. The ingredients are fresh and presented nicely but they did not work together for a good flavor profile. I cannot taste what they want to tell thru the food. Out of all dishes, I like the bread & cabbage dish the best (I think someone else also made the same comment earlier ?) Service also did not stand out. I don’t feel the attentiveness from the staff and let me just say I feel a great disturbance in the force. I have a hard time understanding the food that they introduced to us. This is a very different experience in comparison to other places we went to. Maybe you should try their dinner menu or go when they change their lunch menu. I saw some other review saying the food taste awesome and Look different than my set. Good luck!

The ambience is nice and simple yet elegant. The food was presented well and tasted good, especially the scallops with miso and the salt baked cabbage. The quail breast was cooked really well, but the quail leg was under cooked (this was a let down). The desserts were alright. I would have probably given 3.5 to 4 stars, but what made my experience worthwhile was the service, kudos to Mr. Ramiah for that.

[3.5 Stars] Went for a lunch. -Environment Nice place, elegant and very clean. Seats are comfortable, not noisy, air-con is not too cold. -Menu I felt the overall menu is just alright, it is interesting but not super delicious or whatsoever. The portion is typical French style, the ingredient of scallop and duck able to taste the freshness. The rest of the menu are okay, not much of catchy points...sauces are in similar taste, creamy salty type....Desserts are ordinary. -Service I felt every time when doing the serving, it was so fast that we could not catch what the staff is explaining about the dishes/ingredient/dressing...If large part of the operating expense goes to Staffing, I do not feel the passion coming from the staff whenever we are being served. I think it is important to explain in a way which make customers could appreciate the food more. -Price Spent about $240+, just for an experience and it was just an okay.

Absolutely wonderful experience! So many mind blowing mind bending food I've ever experienced. Portions were substantial, very filling meal! Chef Lerouy was very attentive to all the details of each plate. ???

Amazing food, texture and presentation. Everything blends well on the palate and the chefs prepared separate dishes based on my dietary restrictions. However, service could be better.
