Alma by Juan Amador has revealed that while it will be shuttering in August, the fine dining restaurant hopes to make a return with a “brand new concept”.
The restaurant located in Goodwood Park Hotel had earlier announced its closure in an Instagram post on Monday (July 28), with its last day on Aug 15.
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, a spokesperson said that the establishment will undergo renovations following the closure and will reopen in October or November as a new concept, though they did not expand on the details.
The spokesperson added that part of the reason for the impending closure in August was the “operating costs of running a fine dining restaurant”.
The restaurant’s closure also comes merely four days after snagging its ninth one Michelin star at Singapore’s 2025 Michelin Guide Ceremony.
It also follows the news of eight other Michelin-starred restaurants — Art di Daniele Sperindio, Chef Kang’s, Matera, Oshino, Poise, Shinji, Sommer and Sushi Kimura — that had dropped off the Michelin guide because they too had closed.
“This decision has not come easily, as we hold a deep appreciation for the community we have fostered. Each meal shared, celebration hosted, and story told has contributed to the unique tapestry of our restaurant’s history,” wrote the restaurant in the Instagram post.
The restaurant also invited diners to join them in celebrating their last few weeks of operations.
“Come savor your favorite dishes, reminisce about the wonderful moments we’ve experienced together, and allow us to express our gratitude in person. Thank you once again for being a part of our gourmet journey. We will forever cherish the time spent with you and the memories we’ve created together.”
Alma by Juan Amador was established in 2015. They clinched their first one Michelin star in 2016 and have won it consecutively since then.
