Moutarde by Paul Pairet, located at WEAVE, Resorts World Sentosa, marks the much-anticipated arrival of the much-acclaimed French chef, opened in November 2025. Chef Pairet is best known for his celebrated restaurants, including Ultraviolet, Mr & Mrs Bund, Polux, and Nonos & Comestibles. In Singapore, Moutarde is positioned as a relaxed yet refined bistro, offering diners an approachable way to experience the chef's signature flair. It is a place where quality ingredients meet easygoing charm, making it ideal for casual get-togethers, weekday dinners, or long weekend lunches.
Moutarde brings an easy, unpretentious French charm with warm lighting, clinking glasses, and tables meant for gathering. Inspired by the convivial spirit of modern Parisian bistros, the restaurant celebrates generous flavours and simple pleasures, where whole cuts, comforting sides, and classic French favourites come together in a relaxed, lively setting. Guests are encouraged to linger a little longer, share generously, and savour simple pleasures done exceptionally well. It is French dining at its most relaxed and heartfelt, where the mood is lively, the plates comforting, and the experience unmistakably Pairet.
We began our meal with warm bread accompanied by butter infused with soy sauce. It had an interesting flavour profile that is buttery, creamy, and savoury. I found it somewhat reminiscent of mentaiko.
Tarama - Za'atar 4.2/5
Tarama - Za'atar ($14) is a smooth, briny emulsion made from smoked cod fish roe blended with a Middle Eastern spice mix, served with focaccia toast. The spread delivers a creamy, smoky, and salty base from the roe, balanced by the earthy and citrusy notes of za'atar, with a gentle lift from sumac. It is best enjoyed generously spread over warm focaccia.
La Salade Parisienne 4.2/5
The
La Salade Parisienne is a beautiful composition, bursting with vibrant colours from butter lettuce, white ham, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Visually appetising, the dish comes together in a harmonious play of flavours and textures, offering both freshness and comforting familiarity.
Smoked Salmon Essential 4.2/5
Smoked Salmon Essential ($20) features salmon smoked in-house using aromatic jasmine tea, served alongside lightly toasted sourdough. I particularly enjoyed eating it bruschetta-style, spreading the soy lemon cream onto the toast before layering it with slices of the delicately smoked salmon.
Cheese Soufflé 4.2/5
The
Cheese Soufflé ($20) is a Gruyère-based soufflé made with extra-soft cheese, making it a haven for cheese lovers. A distinctive feature is that the servers inject a rich cheese emulsion directly into the centre of the soufflé after it is served, ensuring a molten, flavourful core. Due to its delicate nature, it typically requires 15 to 20 minutes of preparation time. A small side salad accompanies the dish, helping to cut through the richness.
Undeniably, the centrepiece and beating heart of Moutarde's dining experience is its live carvery station, a mouth-watering and captivating spectacle where whole wood-fired roasted cuts are sliced with precision and flair. Drawing from a formative early-1990s London memory of the classic British carving trolley, Chef Paul composes his own unique version of this quintessential dining concept, debuting it here in Singapore.
Wood-Oven Roasted Prime Rib 4.5/5
The highlight has to be the
Wood-Oven Roasted Prime Rib, Australian Angus Signature Black, served with au jus and lemon cream. The meat was fatty, tender, and juicy, slow-cooked as a whole large cut in a wood-fired oven, resulting in a beautifully pink and tender, marbled hunk of beef. It is paired with a selection of mustards. As the carvery items rotate daily, the prime rib is subject to availability and may not be offered every day.
Singapore Pepper Short Ribs 4.5/5
Another standout from the carvery is the
Singapore Pepper Short Ribs ($38 for 180g). The ribs are coated in a fragrant pepper blend and slow-cooked until tender, developing caramelised edges and a subtle peppery lift reminiscent of char siew. The smoky exterior gives way to a juicy, melt-in-the-mouth interior, finished with a glossy black pepper sauce that carries hints of sweetness, akin to kicap manis. This dish was originally introduced by Chef de Cuisine Glen Tay at Ultraviolet before being brought to Moutarde.
Scallop Truffle New Meuniere 4.2/5
The
Scallop Truffle New Meunière features plump Hokkaido scallops gently pan-seared until golden, retaining a tender, translucent centre that highlights their natural sweetness. They are paired with silky mashed potatoes, providing a smooth, buttery base. Finished with a truffle-infused modern meunière, the sauce balances nutty, browned-butter notes with subtle citrus brightness. Luxurious yet restrained, the dish allows the pristine quality of the scallops to remain the star.
Mushroom Garlic 4.5/5
To complement the mains and roasted meats, we ordered several side dishes. One of my favourites was the
Mushroom Garlic ($10), a comforting mixed mushroom fricassée gently sautéed to preserve its natural earthiness and finished with fragrant garlic. Cooked slowly to release their juices, the mushrooms form a light, velvety sauce that coats each bite without overpowering. Rich yet restrained, with deep umami notes and a smooth, creamy finish.
French Fries Allumettes 4.2/5
The
French Fries Allumettes ($8) are hand-cut, extra-thin fries fried until golden and crisp. Delicate yet crunchy on the outside with a light, fluffy interior, these slim fries deliver a clean potato flavour. Simple, but very addictive.
Charred Asparagus Skewer 4/5
Fresh
Green Asparagus is threaded onto skewers and konro-grilled over intense heat, creating a lightly charred exterior while keeping the stalks tender and juicy. The grilling imparts a subtle smokiness that enhances the asparagus's natural sweetness, resulting in a dish that is simple, aromatic, and deeply savoury.
Charred Leeks Essential 3.8/5
Whole
Leeks are gently charred until smoky and tender, revealing their natural sweetness beneath the caramelised exterior. Finished with a vibrant sauce ravigote for freshness and acidity, and a drizzle of hazelnut oil for warm, nutty depth, this minimalist dish highlights purity, balance, and technique.
Mango - Earl Granite 4/5
Mango - Earl Granite ($14) is a refreshing earl grey granita delicately perfumed with bergamot, served alongside ripe mango. Finished with tangy passion fruit syrup and fresh raspberries, the dessert delivers a bright interplay of citrus, floral tea notes, and tropical sweetness.
The Real French Toast 4.2/5
The
Real French Toast ($14) features soft, fluffy brioche on the inside, with a golden, crisp exterior, paired with smooth ice cream. The contrast of hot and cold creates a delightful interplay of flavours and textures. This is certainly not your average brunch fare, a thick slice of brioche that remains pillowy inside while perfectly caramelised outside.
Raspberry Chantilly 4/5
To round off the meal, we had the
Raspberry Chantilly. As someone who is not fond of overly sweet desserts, this was a refreshing change. The raspberry sorbet was the highlight, vividly red and packed with a tart, zippy tang that really whets the appetite. Topped with airy vanilla Chantilly, the fragrant cream helped balance the acidity of the berries. Simple yet well-executed, the ratio of cream to sorbet was spot on, making each spoonful a harmonious blend of creamy sweetness and fruit tartness.
Moutarde is a welcome addition to Singapore's dining landscape, a restaurant that carries the weight of Chef Paul Pairet's celebrated legacy without any of the stuffiness. Whether you are drawn in by the live carvery spectacle, the convivial bistro atmosphere, or simply the promise of well-executed French cooking in a relaxed setting, Moutarde delivers on all fronts. Do make your reservations early.
Note: This is an invited tasting.
