Head Sommelier

Company Description

 

Raffles Hotel Singapore is one of the few remaining great 19th century hotels in the world, perfectly preserved both inside and out, giving it an intoxicating blend of luxury, history and classic colonial design. Its distinctive architecture, legendary heritage and iconic service continue to enthrall visitors where suites, social spaces, award-winning restaurants and bars are presented for discerning travellers. No visit to Singapore is complete without a stay here, where the grand historic hotel exudes old-world grandeur infused with the unique charm of the city state.

About the Restaurant

1887 by André is a heritage gastronomy restaurant within the historic Raffles Hotel Singapore. Led by chef André Chiang, it celebrates Singapore’s culinary evolution, tracing influences from the Victorian era to the multicultural flavours that shape the city today, interpreted through his refined French techniques. The menu revives flavours from Raffles’ early dining rooms and evokes the elegance of Victorian dining rituals, served on the hotel’s iconic vintage silverware. A thoughtfully curated beverage programme pairs old- and new-world expressions with bespoke alcohol-free creations inspired by Nanyang flavours. In its intimate 42-seat setting, guests are transported to a bygone era while enjoying a contemporary, flavour-driven experience. The result is a dining journey that bridges past and present, celebrating heritage through the lens of modern innovation.
