Fresh from its Singapore Tourism Award win for Best Dining Experience, CURATE at Resorts World Sentosa will be welcoming young rising chef Stéphanie Le Quellec from the Michelin-starred La Scène in Paris, France for the 11th instalment of the Art at Curate dining series. One of the most prominent names in the Parisian culinary circle at the moment, she will be presenting exclusive four-hands lunch and dinner menus with host chef Benjamin Halat from 3 to 9 August.
The Experience
During her stint at CURATE, Le Quellec will present her sophisticated take on Southern French cuisine that evokes surprise and emotion through the elegant combination of flavours drawn from exceptional produce.
“I am a classical French chef who enjoys infusing a touch of modernity into my creations. I want to demystify luxury gastronomy, make it friendly, welcoming and less intimidating without reducing any of the magic, charm or elegance,” she says. “The best seasonal produce forms the heart of my cuisine, and I strive to cook them perfectly with a modern twist. I will be cooking fresh seasonal seafood, which I personally love, for Art at Curate this August.”

In 2013, she took the helm of La Scène at the luxurious Le Prince de Galles in Paris and quickly earned the restaurant a Michelin star in 2014.
