Always wanted to try Les amis or Au Jardin. Now I have. The food didn't quite cut it. There was just no balance or harmony between the sauces and the main items. The duck liver with what tasted like a sambal dried-prawn sauce and the wagyu beef with a corn sauce. It was horrible. The concept of French food with Asian influence was poorly ...
Our dinner at the Au Jardin, though a little difficult to find, was spectacular. The staff there was extremely attentive and responsive, and the food was exquisitely prepared and presented. Seated in the large, glass-enclosed and air-conditioned veranda we could enjoy four-course Prix Fixe and the evening in in-door/out-door comfort. We had the ...

Excellent choice for our 1st year wedding anniversary!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/19/08
My husband and I just went here tonight for our 1st year wedding anniversary, and we really feel that this was "the" restaurant to go to for the best ambience, romance, intimacy, and good food. They had a 4 course or 8 course menu, and we opted for the 4 course menu. The food was great and the value and service was superb. We walked ...

Well done!

The service was FANTASTIC the food was very good to excellent & the wine list (While a bit too pricy) was very good.
I think for a romantic dinner one could not ask for more attentive service staff nor for a better venue in Singapore.

Always good for a romantic dinner or special occasion. Or just if you feel like having a relaxing meal in great surroundings.

Good Service, Great Ambience, Excellent Food. Evening is the best time as the gardens are quiet and the mood is enhanced. Avoid festive seasons if you like it quiet.
Au Jardin impresses before you have even set foot inside. Entering the Botanic Gardens at night, you have a short walk up to the house to admire the gardens and enjoy the experience of your own "private" Botanic gardens, before the restaurant appears in all its restored 1920s splendor. Once inside the service is superb, with a top-class ...
I have to admit that my dining experience at Au Jardin was a few years' back when Justin was still the chef there. The location is within the Botanical Gardens and very romantic.
The tasting menu was excellent and innovative, really enjoyable. Justin's talent as a chef was very much evident, justifying his reputation as Singapore's ...

Will Never Go Back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/18/06
After the long walk from the road,it was hot and stuffy in the restaurant. The food was mediocre and the service was almost condescending. I was put off by the extra charge for certain main courses. Worst of all, there was a pair of lizards clucking away just outside the window. It was not worth half of the $450 we paid for the two of us. When the ...

Beautiful. Lovely setting. Fantastic classical french food. Great wine list. And service that is more than just efficient and friendly the team is blessed with character. Rare in Singapore. A true gem. Best for couples or small groups of up to 6. Many would say for special celebrations but life is always worth celebrating.
