New French Dining – élan by Les Amis Group
Les Amis Group launches the newest addition to its line-up of dining concepts, élan. Located in the heart of town at Shaw Centre, élan brings approachable, modern French cuisine with sprinkles of Asian influence to the table.
The menu reflects the chef’s capabilities of infusing little touches of Asian flavours that harmoniously compliment an approachable French cuisine. A notable starter is the Foie Gras Bonbon ($38), a sweet and savoury harmony of rich, buttery foie gras coated in dark chocolate served with hazelnuts, balanced with the tanginess of kumquat and marigold on a toasted brioche. The signature main is the Smoked Pigeon ($64), which is first oven-roasted then hay-smoked to perfection and served alongside vacuum-compressed watermelon, bringing diners on a delectable, smoky journey.
Diners can opt for à la carte items, or a set menu ($70/pax) for lunch and a 4-course ($135/pax) tasting menu for dinner.

New Mediterranean Restaurant | Sol & Ora at 1-Altitude Coast
Burnished by the sun and washed by azure waters, Sol & Ora evokes the Mediterranean. From its perch on the rooftop of The Outpost Hotel on Sentosa, it brings the allure of the ‘Middle Sea’ and its unique coastal culture to our very doorstep.
As part of the group’s latest multi-concept beachfront project known as 1-Altitude Coast, Sol & Ora is located next to 1-Altitude Coast Rooftop Bar & Day Club, within reach of other hotels and lifestyle destinations and three beaches.
Sol & Ora – meaning ‘Sun & Shore’ in Latin – is a restaurant inspired by the Mediterranean way of life. Its produce-driven menu is curated from the sea’s northern littoral, namely the ‘Latin-Mediterranean’ countries of Italy, France, Spain and Greece.
The best of each cuisine is showcased through timeless recipes reinvented with a twist and finesse; crafted with variety for different times of the day – from breakfast, brunch, high tea, lunch and dinner, and refreshing drinks. From Italy comes house-made and hand-crafted pastas and risotto while French offerings are led by light seafood dishes inspired by the French Riviera. Spanish flavours come alive with mouth-watering tapas and other creations grilled to perfection on the Josper grill, and in the Greek selection, vegetables and herbs take centre stage.
