SANTI restaurant will say goodbye to Singapore after its last dinner service on 11 March 2012.
The decision to cease operations of the restaurant, which opened in April 2010, was made after much deliberation. The family of the late celebrity chef Santi Santamaria will focus on his home ground in Spain, including developing various projects to address wider interests in the Spanish market.
We thank everyone who has supported the debut and journey of SANTI in Singapore.
The Restaurant
Modeled after the world renowned Can Fabes, SANTI combines Mediterranean culture with the authentic taste of the Catalan region in Spain. The cuisine is both basic and sophisticated, guided by a respect for seasonal ingredients and meticulous attention to the preparation of the food.
SANTI was the late Chef Santi Santamaria’s first foray into Asia and has been warmly received by diners. The restaurant earned the coveted award of Best New Restaurant in the prestigious Singapore Tatler Best Restaurants Guide 2011.
Dressed in rustic dark woods and accented by custom artwork “graffiti” overlaying modern glass enclosures, SANTI’s décor reflects the warmth of Can Fabes, which is also the late chef's family home for the past two centuries. The restaurant comprises of a cosy tapas bar and lounge at the entrance and an 80-seat fine-dining section that offers a truly exquisite gastronomic experience.
