Located opposite Saveur on Purvis Street, Gunther's was named New Restaurant of the Year in the World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence 2009 as well as Restaurant of the Year and Outstanding Caterer of the Year at the World Gourmet Summit Excellence 2012. Opened by award winning chef Gunther Hubrechsen who helmed Les Amis for more than five years, the fine dining restaurant was also voted into the prestigious San Pellegrino World's Best 100 Restaurants 2010 and has been one of Asia's Top 20 Finest Restaurants in The Miele Guide since 2008. While the place had an all-glass frontage, there were curtains to prevent eyes from prying in to see diners inside. Dimly-lit with dark ceilings and walls, it exuded elegance and opulence without (surprisingly) the stifling ambience. Though, I must say, the entrance was more intimidating than welcoming. Visited on the eve of a public holiday for dinner and were brought to our table with comfortable leather chairs.
