Nestled in the historic Bukit Pasoh district, Zén Restaurant is one of Singapore’s most exquisite fine dining experiences. As the first international outpost of the acclaimed Frantzén Group, Zén brings a seamless blend of Scandinavian purity and European finesse, delivering a multi-sensory gastronomic journey unlike any other in the city. Holding three Michelin stars, Zén is not only a meal—it’s an orchestration of elegance, storytelling, and culinary artistry.
About Zén: The Frantzén Legacy in Singapore
Zén is the brainchild of Chef Björn Frantzén, whose Stockholm restaurant has long been regarded as one of the best in the world. In Singapore, Zén recreates that magic with a three-storey concept space, each floor serving a unique purpose in the overall dining narrative.
Situated in a conserved shophouse, the restaurant’s design merges Nordic minimalism with modern luxury. From handcrafted tableware to the precision of every ingredient, Zén embodies thoughtful luxury with Swedish hospitality and Singaporean flair.
Must-Try Dishes: A Symphony of Nordic Innovation
Zén’s seasonal tasting menu (S$480++ per person) evolves regularly, showcasing the best of global and Nordic ingredients through carefully composed dishes. Some highlights include:
- Japanese Oyster with Ponzu and Dill Oil
A refreshing amuse-bouche that introduces Nordic herbal elegance. - Scallop with XO Sauce and Brown Butter
A masterful marriage of sea sweetness and umami complexity. - Aged Duck with Scandinavian Berries and Jus
Showcasing the restaurant’s mastery in aging and flavour layering. - Caviar Tart with Horseradish Cream
Rich, indulgent, and perfectly balanced by subtle spice. - Swedish Pancake with Yuzu Custard
A nostalgic dessert with citrus brightness and milky creaminess.
Each course is paired with a selection of fine wines or thoughtfully crafted non-alcoholic alternatives, adding depth and harmony to the tasting experience.
Atmosphere & Dining Experience: An Elegant Three-Level Journey
Dining at Zén is a choreographed experience across three floors:
- Level 1 – Reception & Aperitif Lounge
Begin with cocktails and snacks in a relaxed, chic environment. - Level 2 – Main Dining Room
Watch chefs prepare and plate in an open kitchen as you’re guided through the main courses in an elegant, intimate setting. - Level 3 – Dessert & Digestif Lounge
