Le Clos | Wine House & Restaurant elevates casual French dining with one of Singapore's largest walk-in wine cellars
Fresh, seasonal, produce-driven cuisine meets more than 2,000 wine references in a relaxed, high-energy setting at New Bahru
Singapore, November 2026. Le Clos | Wine House & Restaurant stands as one of Singapore's established wine bar, restaurant and retail destinations, anchored by a walk-in cellar of more than 2,000 labels. In 2026 its list received a Silver Star in the Best Long List category at the Star Wine List of the Year, Southeast Asia.
Located in New Bahru, the 70-seat venue combines casual French dining, a lively wine bar, an alfresco terrace and a speciality delicatessen under one roof. Guests enjoy fresh, seasonal cooking designed to pair with one of the most extensive walk-in wine cellars in the city.
With its neighbourhood energy and commitment to craftsmanship, Le Clos has become a destination for wine lovers, diners and regulars alike. The cellar holds more than 2,000 labels, about 80% from France and 20% from the rest of the world, including a deep selection of Champagne from grower producers, rare allocations and prestigious houses.
Connoisseurs will find allocated and highly sought-after producers such as William Kelley, Kei Shiogai, Jules Brochet, Georges Roumier and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, alongside artisanal grower Champagnes and hard-to-source bottlings. Guests can enjoy these wines with the restaurant's seasonal menu or buy them to take home, in store or online at leclos.sg.
Come for the wine, stay for the food
Far from being just a wine bar or a restaurant, Le Clos continues to evolve as a destination where exceptional wine and thoughtful cooking matter equally. The name "Le Clos", inspired by the historic walled vineyard plots where prized vines were carefully tended, reflects the venue's dedication to authenticity, craftsmanship and terroir.
Today, Le Clos balances fine wine authority with seasonal cooking and a relaxed wine bar lifestyle, giving guests the freedom to choose how they enjoy wine, food and hospitality throughout the day.
"Wine remains our foundation, but today our restaurant experience is equally important. Le Clos is about celebrating craftsmanship in both the glass and on the plate," says founder JC Cadoret.
Geoffrey Leotot, General Manager of Le Clos, drives the wine and hospitality philosophy of the venue through his lifelong connection to France's great wine regions, including the Loire Valley and Burgundy. His experience in acclaimed restaurants and wine-focused establishments in France and Singapore shapes Le Clos' service, curation and guest experience.
An expanded wine cellar
Le Clos remains rooted in its relationships with artisanal growers, small family estates and prestigious wine houses around the world. The wine programme focuses on:
- Grower Champagne and artisanal producers
- Allocated and hard-to-source wines
- Exclusive bottlings and collector vertical tastings
- Accessible, everyday bottles for casual enjoyment
Expanded, temperature-controlled walk-in cellars allow better preservation, a broader selection and a more compelling showcase of rare and collectible bottles. Any bottle can be opened at the table, and around 18 wines are poured by the glass, from Chablis and Sancerre to Meursault, Vosne-Romanée and Krug.
"Our goal is to make exceptional wine available in different contexts," adds JC. "Whether guests want a casual glass at the bar or a rare bottle for a special celebration, Le Clos adapts to how people want to enjoy wine today."
A stronger culinary identity: seasonal, wine-driven cuisine
In 2026, Le Clos strengthens its position as both a wine destination and a dining venue, with a stronger emphasis on seasonal, produce-focused cooking designed to complement the cellar. The kitchen focuses on quality ingredients, refined yet comforting techniques and dishes that bring out the best in a bottle.
Le Clos also offers:
- An all day dining menu at the wine bar, for casual meals and gatherings
- A set lunch from Thursday to Sunday, two courses at S$39 or three courses at S$49, with seasonal dishes that change regularly
Signature dishes
- Padrón peppers and Japanese seaweed, lightly charred with umami seasoning
- Pissaladière tarte flambée, on a crisp, thin tarte flambée base
- Whole roasted chicken, chargrilled broccolini and rosemary jus, slow-roasted and finished in the Josper
- Sanchoku wagyu tomahawk and Bordelaise sauce, grilled in the Josper charcoal oven at high heat to keep it juicy
- Atlantic cod loin, spelt risotto, confit tomatoes and gnocchi
The menu continues to favour wine-friendly cooking, from small bites to a full dinner.
Desserts and pastry
Desserts remain an essential part of the Le Clos experience. Pastry Chef Shameem leads the homemade dessert programme, creating seasonal pastries with quality ingredients and traditional techniques, alongside artisanal chocolate from Valrhona. Whole cakes and tarts can be ordered online to take home.
From casual gatherings to celebrations
Le Clos is a versatile social destination where guests move easily from a relaxed glass at the bar to a celebratory dinner. The venue offers:
- Indoor dining with marble tables and natural design elements
- A relaxed wine bar
- A tranquil terrace surrounded by greenery, home to Le Clos' own pétanque court
- A private wine room for up to 8 guests
"Our vision of hospitality goes beyond food and wine," says Geoffrey. "It's about creating a place where people can relax, celebrate and connect."
Events and private experiences
Le Clos is a preferred venue for corporate gatherings, product launches, private celebrations, weddings and special occasions, from 8 guests in the private wine room to the whole house. The venue has audio-visual equipment and flexible layouts for events of different sizes.
