Zén Singapore Unveils Summer Menu by Executive Chef Martin Öfner

Zén, Singapore’s celebrated three-Michelin-starred restaurant and the Asian sister of Stockholm’s Frantzén, is thrilled to announce its Summer Menu, thoughtfully curated by Executive Chef Martin Öfner in collaboration with Björn Frantzén.

The Summer Menu draws on the season’s finest produce from across Europe, Asia and Japan. Guests can expect reimagined signatures alongside elegant new creations that reflect Martin’s vision and technical finesse, from pristine seafood preparations to layered, umami-rich broths and intricate pastry work.

The nine-course tasting experience, complemented by delicate canapés, embodies the blend of Asia with Nordic-Japanese gastronomy at its finest, featuring dishes such as crustacean tartlets with Thai basil and chawanmushi with awabi, foie gras, matsutake. Finishing with the latest dessert, which uses sweet potato from Okinawa, made into ice cream with chestnut honey and topped with slow-roasted pineapple and mezcal caramel.

Having worked alongside Chef Björn Frantzén for over a decade, Martin brings an intimate understanding of the Zén ethos, marrying highlights of Asia with Nordic culinary philosophy and Japanese ingredients and techniques. Now, as Executive Chef, Martin presents a new expression of Zén: elevated, focused, and deeply personal while remaining rooted in tradition, craftsmanship, and excellence.

This latest chapter reaffirms Zén’s position at the forefront of modern fine dining in Asia.
