Executive Chef of Guy Savoy, Eric Bost, says: "We are excited to start the brand new year on a high note with these special menus and new dining options. The inspiration behind our creations has always been to showcase the best of France. With the new 'Wine Moment with Guy Savoy' wine-food pairing experience, we are going beyond the entrenched Parisian belief that there are no fine wines outside of Bordeaux by embracing the best products from each region. Our seasonal menus highlight our creativity in incorporating currently available ingredients with the essence of the Guy Savoy cuisine. Our team in Singapore is looking forward to embark on a rich and adventurous culinary journey this year with our guests."
