Ongi Etorri! Have you been to Basque Country? Are you interested in exploring one of Europe’s oldest and most distinctive cultures?
Kinou might just be your dream come true. Nestled in Teck Lim Road, Kinou is one of the few places that brings traditional Basque dishes to our shores. What makes Kinou truly in a class of its own in Singapore is the authenticity of their Basque recipes which have been passed down through many generations in Chef-Owner Benjamin Tilatti’s family.
A fervour advocate of the French Bon Vivant spirit, he envisioned Kinou to be a place where friends can have fun and embark on a gastronomic journey to Southwestern France through the restaurant’s charming interior and refined menu.
Imagine trying the exceptional Basque Cake (Etxeko bixkotxa) that dates back to the 18th century or IGP Sud Ouest certified duck foie gras that simply melts in your mouth. What’s more, hidden within their mains is a thousand year old discovery — Bayonne Ham (Jambon De Bayonne) waiting to be savoured.
Known for their fêtes and festivals that occur all year round, the Basque culture is about coming together in celebration of their heritage and identity. Step into Kinou and you’ll be greeted with Le Gras C’est La Vie — their tagline for "Fat is life", the philosophy of living the good life through food and wines.
Having moved to their new humble space in 2021, Kinou has endured multiple setbacks during the pandemic. Despite it all, resilience is at the core of their spirit and the team remains excited to make merry and create more memorable times.
Inspired by his mum to travel and share his food with the world, Chef Benjamin Tilatti credits her by naming his restaurant after her nickname.
With authenticity being the hallmark of Kinou, it is not surprising that his revised menu also reflects memories of his grandma’s recipes and preserves her traditional flavours.
Served on huge platters with bite-size portioning, each dish is designed for communal dining, great for large group celebrations and parties. Experience the complex flavours and unearth the secrets behind every taste palate.
Sip in exquisite French wines imported from across the world, each bottle specially curated by Chef Benjamin himself to compliment his creations.
