About
the Restaurant

1887 by André is a heritage gastronomy restaurant
within the historic Raffles Hotel Singapore. Led by chef André Chiang,
it celebrates Singapore’s culinary evolution, tracing influences from
the Victorian era to the multicultural flavours that shape the city today,
interpreted through his refined French techniques. The menu revives flavoursÂ
from Raffles’ early dining rooms and evokes the elegance of Victorian dining
rituals, served on the hotel’s iconic vintage silverware.

A thoughtfully curated beverage programme pairs old- and new-world expressions
with bespoke alcohol-free creations inspired by Nanyang flavours. In its
intimate 42-seat setting, guests are transported to a bygone era while enjoying
a contemporary, flavour-driven experience. The result is a dining journey
that bridges past and present, celebrating heritage through the lens of modern
innovation. Â
