The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar opened in 2017 as the Singapore flagship of Jean-Georges Vongerichten. At COMO Dempsey, the restaurant brings his distinct culinary language into focus — French at its core, enlivened by the herbs, citrus and gentle heat that have defined his cooking for decades.

“It was when I was working in Bangkok in the 1980s that I first encountered ingredients like lemongrass, ginger and lime. I was discovering a new world of flavours. Each had the power to transform a dish completely. It laid the foundation for my cuisine, combining the elegance of French classics with the vibrant flavours of Asia.”
— Jean-Georges Vongerichten
JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN
CHEF AND RESTAURATEUR
Jean-Georges Vongerichten is one of the world’s most celebrated chefs, with more than 60 restaurants to his name, many of them Michelin-starred. Born in Alsace, he began his culinary training in France before building an international career that has taken his cooking across Europe, the United States and Asia.
Egg Caviar with Vodka Whipped Cream
WHERE EAST MEETS WEST
The cuisine at The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar reflects Vongerichten’s signature approach to flavour: refined French cooking lifted by citrus, fresh herbs, spice and aromatics. Richness is often balanced by acidity, bringing brightness and contrast to the dish.
This sensibility runs through the menu, including dishes featuring ingredients such as Caspian caviar, presented with the restraint and balance that are hallmarks of his cooking.
Crispy Salmon Sushi, Chipotle Mayonnaise and Soy Glaze
Oven Roasted Tiger Prawns, Yuzu Kosho Marinade and Lime
Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sundae Candied Peanuts and Popcorn, Whipped Cream, Hot Fudge
SIGNATURES OF THE HOUSE
Crispy Salmon Sushi is a one-bite favourite, pairing crisp rice with salmon sashimi for a contrast of texture that is at once familiar and unexpected.
Oven Roasted Tiger Prawns are finished with yuzu kosho, bringing together smoke, sweetness and a bright, savoury lift.
For dessert, the Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sundae offers a more playful finish, balancing sweetness with depth and a touch of salinity.
THE ART OF THE POUR
Surrounded by lush greenery and softened by warm light, The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar offers an inviting setting for a drink before dinner or a longer evening over cocktails.
The bar carries the same sensibility as the menu, with cocktails shaped by bright citrus, spice and aromatics. These include Vongerichten’s signature concoctions like Ginger Margarita, Cucumber Martini, and Jungle Old Fashioned.
The sober-curious can also enjoy the NOLO program, featuring a refined selection of zero-proof and low-ABV beverages.
MADE FOR GATHERING
Designed by Paola Navone of OTTO Studio, The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar offers indoor seating and pet-friendly al fresco dining, alongside two private dining rooms for more personal occasions. Checkerboard floors, ornate pendant lamps and an open kitchen give the restaurant its distinct character, creating a setting that feels polished, welcoming and well suited to celebrations.
