The Les Amis group already has a fairly comprehensive website, right here, including their menus: http://www.lesamis.com.sg/webtop/index2.html.
What I can tell you:
- the food isn’t so great (set lunches S$22-24, set dinners S$38), but!
- its really quiet, service is excellent,
- beers are only S$7-8, there’s a great range of wines, tea/coffee between S$4-5, and pretty decent dessert.
But they close by 10pm.
In summary: Instead of hitting one of the ubiquitous second-rate noisy-as-hell coffee joints, try this place: 1 Scotts Road, Shaw Centre #02-10 (just beyond the carpark entrance). Reservations at +65 6333 8966.
Sushi, of course, half price after (I think) 8.30 or 9pm. As a Japanese supermarket, they’ve got somewhat more exotic selections, including sharkfin and icefish sushi, as well as the standard sake (salmon) variations. Heartier offerings exist as well – check around the supermarket, not just the sushi counter. Round the meal off with a can of UCC coffee (excellent, and less than S$2) or Japanese ice cream (also possibly less than S$2). Presently there’s a Hokkaido fair, serving amongst other things, deep fried octopi and curry croquettes.
Shaw House (Lido)’s basement, past the McCafe and Mos Burger joints. There’s always the top floor if you need seats.
