Emmanuel Stroobant

Chef | Owner

About

16-year-old Emmanuel Stroobant was well on his way to realising his childhood dream of becoming a lawyer when a stint at one of Belgium’s best restaurants sparked off a lifelong passion for the culinary arts. Drawn to the hustle and bustle of kitchen life, Emmanuel subsequently learned the ropes from maestros like Pierre Romayer from Three Michelin- starred Maison de Bouche and Francis Dernouchamp from Two Michelin-starred l’Hostellerie Saint-Roch.

His move to Australia, Malaysia and Singapore exposed him to the innovative world of modern fusion cuisine. Saint Pierre was born in December 2000, a fine dining restaurant showcasing an amalgamation of French culinary techniques with an Asian touch. It established Emmanuel as one of Singapore’s culinary pioneers of contemporary French cuisine.

Works

Saint Pierre’s menu is inspired by the Zen Circle, which symbolises enlightenment and the freeing of the mind to create unreservedly, a principle which the avid yoga practitioner lives by. Together with his team, Saint Pierre earned its first Michelin star in 2017, retained it in 2018 before upgrading to a second Michelin star in 2019 and maintaining the accolade in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, putting the restaurant on the global culinary map and sealing Emmanuel’s position as an innovator in the food and beverage industry.

Apart from his flagship restaurant Saint Pierre, Emmanuel also expands his footprint with other concepts, including Two Michelin-starred Shoukouwa Sushi Restaurant, Shoukouwa Shinjidai, SQUE, and Kingdom of Belgians. Emmanuel is highly sought after for his consultancy services and as a keynote speaker at conferences in Singapore and in the region. He is the author of two cookbooks, Cuisine Unplugged and Vine Dining – White. In addition to being a passionate advocate of mindfulness and healthy living, Emmanuel nurtures the next generation of young chefs as Chef-Mentor of Bocuse d’Or Singapore Academy, as well as established the Singapore delegation of Disciples Escoffier International Association and Young Talents Escoffier Competition.
