Derived from the ancient Sanskrit word for ‘bowl’, Jaan is an intimate, 40-seat restaurant dedicated to showcasing the finest in Artisanal French cuisine in Singapore. Jaan is located on the 70th floor of Swissotel TheStamford in Singapore and it has breathtaking views of the city. But you shouldnt come to Jaan for the views, you should come for the food. The wonderful menu by Chef de Cuisine Julien Royer is built around a strong passion to showcase the freshest ingredients through french beautiful dishes. You have several menu choices to decide between but if you truly want to enjoy the cuisine you should go with the artisanal menu, a 10 course degustation menu, with some of Chef Royer most impressive dishes. The dinner starts with a wonderful collection of Amuse Bouches to get your taste buds warmed up. The Beetroot Macarons and the Mushroom tea were spectacular standouts. The Macarons are simply stunning - and you just wish you had a few more. The service at Jaan was impeccable during our visit and they have a very nice wine selection as well. When asked for some nice wine pairings, our waiter brought out some very nice choices that really supported the food. The next course were very good. We had an oyster that combined with some fennel and Iberico ham really hit the mark. Iberico ham and oysters are a perfect combination where the saltiness of the ham extends the taste of the oysters. After the oyster, the menu delivered a very tasty wild langoustine, fresh and sweet, wit some complimenting peas and mints. We also had Jaan's garden - a wonderful combination of summer vegetables and herbs. The next course was a masterpiece dish. The 55' Rosemary Smoked Organic Egg makes a very dramatic entry with some liquid nitrogen and an egg shell nestled in an egg carton. They are cooked for precisely 55 minutes for a flawless poached egg. Some salty chorizo, potato and buckwheat and you have a standout combination that is probably my favorite egg dish so far ever. That is how good it is!! After this sensational dish, the following dish felt somewhat bland in comparison. A nice scallop with a wonderful miso caramel. There was nothing really wrong with this dish, it probably just suffered from following the great egg dish. I loved the ending of the savory portion of the meal, A great monk fish and a perfectly hay roasted pigeon. It is very easy to overcook pigeon which will make it dry but the kitchen produce this bird just at the right level of medium-rare. The dinner then moved over to the sweet part, great desserts where the Choconuts Tart stood out as a clear favorite. Different tastes and textures of Chocolate and Nuts - whats not to love!! The meal ended with a wonderful trio of petite fours, all exquisite and very flavorful. The coconut marshmallow was the best of the three. Jaan is a great restaurant, the service is fantastic, the food is wonderful and the views are breath taking. In 2014 it was ranked nr 100 on Pellegrinos list of the best restaurants in the world and they definitely deserve the accolades. Well done, I am looking forward to returning.
