From the crisp white linens and perfectly chilled wines to the impeccable service, it’s obvious to any diner that Guy Savoy at Marina Bay Sands is marked by world class standards. This shiny new establishment is tastefully designed, topped with glittering views of the water and skyline. Calling the shots in the kitchen here is Executive Chef Eric Bost (formerly of Guy Savoy, Las Vegas), who ensures that every dish is perfectly executed, Savoy-style. The menu mirrors the three-Michelin-starred gastronomic temple in Paris, and about 70 percent of the ingredients are flown in from France.

Highlights include the signature artichoke and black truffle soup – thick, creamy and perfumed with black truffle vinaigrette plus generous  slices of black truffle. This is paired with a flaky black truffle brioche slathered in aromatic truffle butter – perfect to dip into the soup. The lighter starter of heirloom tomatoes with baby summer vegetables, lemon seaweed and icy cold granite of tomatoes is a lively blend of sweet and tangy taste. Mains-wise, highly memorable is the pigeon served two ways – a confit of pigeon thigh with deliciously crisp skin as well as utterly tender pigeon meat wrapped around foie gras and rolled with zucchini. This is served atop pigeon liver which lends a crumbly texture to the dish. One of Guy Savoy’s signatures is the seabass – a  thick slab of the fish is harmoniously married with a delicate vanilla and ginger foam and a sprinkling of Szechuan pepper, black and white pepper perks up the fresh catch. Do match your meal with exquisite French wines and champagnes from the restaurant’s bible-thick wine list or ask the well-versed sommelier for advice.

At the end of the meal, all eyes will be fixed on the fabulous dessert trolley. Just like a treasure trove wheeled to your table, it is filled with French tarts, cakes, macarons, marshmallows, pralines or more. There is  also  a cheese trolley brimming with a huge selection of French cheeses. Guy Savoy also offers afternoon tea from 3pm to 6pm at the bar lounge. The idea is to serve classic  home-made cakes and tarts as well as other sweet treats reminiscent of childhood. Presented on the famous dessert trolley are macarons, rose flavoured marshmallows, mini cherry tarts, pralines, vanilla rice pudding served in shot glasses and many more gems. There are sorbets and ice creams too. Standouts are the peach sorbet – with no added sugar; just the natural sweetness of the fruit, as well as rich caramel ice cream. Marina Bay Sands, Casino Level 2, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Tel: 6688 8513, Open for afternoon tea and dinner (6pm to 10.30pm)
