Those looking for fine French cuisine or experimental molecular gastronomy will find more than a few wonderful places to tempt the taste buds. Among the best Singapore restaurants there are few which actually manage to fully contain the rich spirit of a city where east meets west like Iggy's.

| Named for its proprietor and culinary visionary, Ignatius Chan, Iggy's is the result of his lifelong desire to open up a place where knowing diners can savour the unexpected delights to be found in food which fuses elements from the east with the west. 'Fusion food' is an expression often thrown about. Those who claim to be able to create it are often simply trying to cash in on a trend, generally resulting in dishes which take a bit from each style and throw them together without respecting the fine art of letting flavours merge to wonderful, harmonious effect.

Working closely with Sufian Zain, the head chef, Iggy has realized a menu which draws from his extensive travels and his experiences of different flavours and dishes. Chef Sufian is the man able to bring this vision to life. Having worked in establishments which are classed among the world's finest, it is only proper that he should find himself heading up the highly competent kitchen team of Iggy's.

Diners can enjoy a personal interaction with the kitchen if they manage to get a seat at the L-shaped bar. Until recently, the 13 seats at the bar and the 15 available at tables were the only spaces. A recent extension has afforded a few extra seats, which is good news for those hoping to sample the delightful products of this now legendary collaboration between Iggy and Sufian.
A collaboration which has led them to great things. Not only one of the finest of the fine, but Iggy's was placed at the top spot of the list of the Best Singapore Restaurants in the notable 'Restaurant' publication, as well as being named the 60th most desirable place in the world to eat.

| Continuing to source the freshest local produce and travelling to France many times a year to revive and replenish the great cellar, Iggy shows no signs of slowing down or coming to rest on its laurels. Driven to please diners, Iggy's is where you'll experience the brilliance of fusion food by those able to create harmony and subtle magic in the most challenging of culinary realms.
