JAAN
Swissôtel the Stamford, Level 70
Equinox Complex
6837 3322 | jaan.com.sg
THE ATMOSPHERE:
A quietly intimate
40-seat restaurant at 70 storeys high,
JAAN boasts one of the very best views
in town.
THE CUISINE:
The imaginative, truffle-
heavy menu is all about seasonality,
and made up entirely of sustainable,
organic ingredients from around the
globe, including line-caught fish and
carefully selected, farm-fresh produce
– a philosophy that stems from Chef
Julian Royer’s upbringing in a family of
farmers in Central France.
THE MENU:
The Kabocha tortellini
– chestnut pasta, macadamia and
cabbage – and Winter Garden – a
selection of root vegetables with truffles,
“mushroom ketchup” and hazelnut
crumble – are tasty, textural treats,
as are the crunchy
amuse bouche
warm mushroom tea and the beetroot
“Collection” – beets done in various
forms (including beet gelato) with
burrata
artigiana
and horseradish.
Cheese lovers won’t want to miss
the
fromage
cart – a huge highlight
for my husband; choose up to four
fine cheeses and enjoy them with a
generous selection of jams, crackers
and port. For dessert, look forward to
the Choconuts Grand Cru, an innovative
collection of chocolaty tastes and
textures, both warm and cold.
Choose five or seven-course dinners
($158 to $238) with wine pairings ($130
to $190), or a ten-course degustation
menu ($298) featuring Chef Julian’s
ten signature dishes. There are also
lunch menus available, featuring most
of the same delectable options seen at
dinnertime. For Valentine’s Day, JAAN is
presenting an eight-course degustation
menu ($698 per couple), inclusive of
two glasses of Krug Grande Cuvée, on
13 and 14 February.
THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING:
An
exquisite culinary experience like no
other, our meal at JAAN was one of
the best we’ve had in Asia, thanks to
the thoughtfully prepared menu and
spectacular marina view, complete with
the MBS lightshow. Request a window
seat and prepare to linger for hours over
beautifully plated dishes expertly paired
with fine wines – you’ll be leaving mega-
full, but mega-happy.
