SINGAPORE - Singapore's only three-Michelin-starred restaurant Joel Robuchon Restaurant - located at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) - will close by the end of June.
Its sister outlet at RWS, the two-Michelin-starred L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, will also close, although it may reopen in Orchard Road, according to a report by The Business Times on Thursday (June 7).
RWS confirmed the closures, and it will release a joint statement between RWS and Robuchon's restaurant group soon.
Both restaurants will serve their last meals on June 30, just under a month in the lead-up to the unveiling of this year's edition of the Singapore Michelin Guide.

Perhaps Singapore is no longer as attactive a location to run a F&B business compared to the past. After all these days most of us know that beneath a first world nation facade we are gradually rotting away beneath - surging costs bumping away our once competitiveness edge, a considerably less capable +transparent government and at times ridiculously strict regulations to name a few main reasons.
