Atout is Chef Patrick Heuberger’s biggest asset.

The Geneva-born chef came to Singapore in 2001 is now firmly settled into his role as a husband, father and chef-owner of the restaurant of his dreams.

Providing a welcoming place for guests to come at any time of the day for a simple snack or a full meal and drinks.

“What makes me happy is seeing my customers leaving the restaurant fully satisfied,” he says. “It’s difficult because there are so many parameters - the staffs, the supplies that you fight for with demand from all over the world. It’s a challenge but it’s satisfying when it goes well.’’

Even after 20 years, Chef Patrick has the same simple wish: to learn. “I want to do better everyday and improve, and have fun doing it.

That has not changed.’’ Neither has his desire to manage and nurture his team and treasure trove of recipes. “I want to watch both of them grow.’’

And, no doubt, his customers will grow with him at the same time.
