An opulent yet cosy combination of rich fabrics, lavish chandelier & expertly crafted interiors gives Brasserie Les Saveurs a warmth & soothing ambience.

Located at the grand luxurious St Regis S’pore, with generous views of the hotel pool & lush gardens, the venue is a perfect place for afternoon tea or to chill out with friends.
The French cuisine started with a molecule gastronomy treat; a Bacon & Potato Foam Espuma which was amazingly delicious.
It was one of those moments when I wanted just something light. I’d the day’s selection of fresh French Oysters @ S$10/pc, which was exactly what I’d wanted.
I hit it off next with their Lobster Bisque @ S$25. The Maitre D came with a plate beautiful Ravioli.
Then he poured the Bisque into the plate. The creamy soup was rich & bursting with the flavour of my favourite seafood. Only complaint: It wasn't piping hot.
Escargots used to be in the menu of many fine dining restaurants. Recently years, they seemed to disappear from the menus but instead replaced with delicacies such as Foie Gras. So I was overjoyed upon seeing Snails in Saveurs’ Carte du jour & jumped at the offer without second thoughts. However, the S$22 appetizer did not turned out as I’d envisaged. It was more of a Croquette. It was partly my fault, as I didn't study the menu properly. I’d to admit that the Escargots in garlic-infused bouillon wasn’t as appetizing & I was disappointed.
I ended my lunch with a sweet note though. The warm Manjari Moelleux served with Malibu Sorbet & Pandan Coconute Espuma @ S$21 was out of this world.
I couldn’t resist their dessert trolley & decided to take out some. The Chariot De Desserts were going @ S$22 for 2, so I’d selected 4 of their recommendation to take out. However, the image of the cute desserts was marred by the containers. I was shocked that such a high-end hotel didn’t even have a proper cake box barring its hotel logo. Instead, they were packed in plastic containers just like any hawkers outside. Despite much being said about this new kid on the block, the overall dining experience @ Saveurs was just very average. Not much complaints about food except that service was extremely slow even though it was just half-occupied. Points minus for those lousy cake containers.
