Josh Niland to open restaurant in Singapore

Josh Niland is to open a new restaurant in Singapore in November 2023, making it the chef’s first permanent venture outside Australia.

The acclaimed chef, who has in recent years revolutionised the way we think about how we source, store, treat and cook fish, has seen his stock rise rapidly since he first opened his Sydney fish restaurant Saint Peter in 2016, with his wife Julie.

A pioneer of the nose-to-tail movement for fish, Niland is to partner with the Singapore Edition hotel, for a sustainable seafood restaurant that will bring the chef's zero waste philosophy to an à la carte menu, open for breakfast lunch and dinner. Niland will create a circular economy within the restaurant and lobby bar to mitigate food waste and the restaurant’s fish dishes will be augmented by sustainable meat and vegetable options.

Niland is steadily expanding his restaurant business, opening The Fish Butchery, a sustainable fish retail concept in 2018, Charcoal Fish, a beachside takeaway concept offering restaurant-quality fast food, and a second Fish Butchery in 2019. Early this year the Nilands opened Petermen, on Sydney’s Northern Shores

As a regular guest on Australia’s MasterChef and a best-selling author of cookbooks The Whole Fish Cookbook, Take One Fish, and Fish Butchery, Niland is one of Australia’s most notable chefs whose creativity and innovation have earned him global acclaim.

The 204-room hotel, the first Edition hotel in Southeast Asia, will be in the upper Orchard Road shopping district.
