Bistro Du Le Pin stands as one of Orchard Road's most intriguing dining destinations, a hidden gem tucked away in Orchard Plaza that seamlessly transforms from an affordable lunch bistro by day to an exclusive omakase experience by night. This culinary chameleon has earned remarkable reviews for offering an incredibly affordable $60 omakase menu that delivers exceptional value.
The restaurant's dual personality reflects its versatility. During lunch hours, diners flock here for the popular Bara Chirashi at just $14, a steal for Orchard Road's usually pricey dining scene. The lunch sets offer great food and even better value, drawing regular crowds who appreciate quality without pretension. By evening, the venue shifts gears to become an intimate omakase destination where skilled chefs craft multi-course tasting menus that rival far more expensive establishments.
Located at #01-34 Orchard Plaza, Bistro Du Le Pin has garnered praise from food media for its hole-in-the-wall charm and surprising sophistication. The unassuming location adds to its appeal as a find for food enthusiasts in the know. Whether you're seeking a quick, quality lunch or an immersive omakase dinner that won't break the bank, this restaurant delivers on both fronts with remarkable consistency.

Japanese chef runs the whole restaurant with 1-2 staff, but he is very efficient and many Japanese also patronise the restaurant. The ala carte dinner was reasonable without alcohol it was $140 for 2.
The starters are crackers with cream cheese and liver which was complimentary, we had the sushi platter which was really good, the otoro was really fatty! Waitress recommended the scallops and uni and ikura with a cream sauce which paired well. The uni ikura pasta was also recommended and was Al dente and tasted like a Japanese pasta. The yellow tail collar bone was BBQ well! The sorbet is also complimentary at the end.

not an easy place to find, but good was quite divine and affordable at $130 for omakase with drinks for 2 hours!
sat at the first floor and understand there’s a second floor outlet so looking to check that out next time.
Andrew Lim
Love this place. Portions are good and very reasonably priced. Free flow salad, green tea, water and fish soup (watch for bones!). No service charge or GST. Prices are nett. Place is small so may need to queue for a while.
Daniel Go
Value for money experience that highlights the chef's skills. Not the fanciest place in the world, but that was part of the experience. A very fun and enjoyable time. Great food and extremely well cooked.

found this place by accident and honestly i didnt regret it at all. had their omakase for like $120? insane value. got kinda lost because they have 2 stores on the first and second level oops (omakase is on the second)
started off kinda unexpected with biscuits, then moved into a sashimi platter which tastes super fresh and comparable to omakases in the 2xx-3xx range. their unagi was a standout too (unexpectedly paired well with the spinach sauce). had oyster and king crab salad as well and just when you thought it couldn't get richer, they bought out wagyu which was quite fatty but it still melted in my mouth
the chef even asked if we had space for more and whipped up some seriously good fried rice AND oden. so comforting, but man, i was genuinely at max capacity by then. had to skip the ice cream cos i rly had no room…😭
the pacing was spot on and i never felt rushed, but also no awkward long waits. for the sheer amount and quality of what we got, it was a ABSOLUTE STEAL. im def hitting this place up again to try their lunch and ala carte menu. i'd recommend if you want a unique japanese tasting experience beyond just sushi alone :)
