5 Écriture

FRENCH

Since opening in early 2018, Écriture has only gone from strength to strength. The striking venue sets the mood early on—perched on the very top of H Queen’s in Central with sliding glass windows that can open out to allow in the evening breeze, it’s a place that commands attention. Often, it feels as though you are dining in a rather chic gallery, a notion that is enhanced by the impressive artworks that call for attention from different corners of the room. Executive chef Maxime Gilbert is a formidable force on the dining scene, too, with his impressive pedigree and a sharp intuition for flavour. His dishes often suggest painstaking processes to maximise deliciousness, whether it’s the turbot and foie gras wrapped in its swaddle of kombu and poached in dashi, or the buttery short pastry that holds a decadent amount of caviar and uni—an incredible art piece in itself.
