SEBASTIEN LEPINOY
Les Amis, Singapore
Michelin Guide Three Stars & evian Partner
After more than a decade as Robuchon’s right hand man, Sebastien Lepinoy joined Les Amis group in 2010 and led their historic restaurant in Singapore to 3 MICHELIN stars.
Chef Sebastien uses classical French technique with Modern aesthetics, incorporating elements of what he has experienced in Asia.
“There are three pillars to any fine dining experience. The kitchen for the food, the service to make you comfortable and give you exceptional memories, and the wine programme which is adapted to your budget and tastes. And for any chef that’s helming a French restaurant, there’s a non-negotiable fourth pillar: a bottle of evian on every table. [...] Before, I saw it as just maintaining the classic identity of French gastronomy. Now I know more about evian’s qualities: the purity, its very low salt content, which is very good for the body. Even the temperature at which you serve the water matters.”
