Singapore’s sweetest new opening lands on July 29, 2026, as Louisa Lim—former lead pastry chef at three-Michelin-starred Odette—unveils Loulouca, a 20-seat dessert-only atelier at 6 Ann Siang Hill that transforms from daytime café to intimate evening tasting room.
After seven years perfecting the pastry programme at one of Asia’s most celebrated restaurants, Louisa Lim is stepping into the spotlight on her own terms. The Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, who left Odette this March, has already collected major industry honors—Asia’s Best Pastry Chef 2023 by Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants and Tatler Asia’s Best Pastry Chef 2024. Now she’s translating that pedigree into a space dedicated entirely to sweets.
What’s on the Menu?
Loulouca operates in two distinct acts. By day—from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.—it’s a bright café serving cakes, coffee, tea, and house-made ice cream. Come nightfall, the lights dim and the space transitions into a sit-down dessert restaurant, with an à la carte menu of four plated creations starting at 7 p.m.
The menu marries French pastry techniques with seasonal produce and subtle Singaporean flourishes. Signature offerings include Loulouca’s deconstructed take on tiramisu and a matcha kaya pistachio Mont Blanc that nods to the classic kaya toast breakfast. For the evening session, guests can expect a rotating selection of plated desserts inspired by the seasons.
Price Points
| Item | Price |
|——|——-|
| Daytime cake slices | $14–$16 |
| Evening plated desserts | $30 each |
| Coffee, tea, ice cream | Varies |
Yes, $30 per dessert lands firmly on the premium end—but Lim’s track record at Odette, where she oversaw a world-class pastry programme, gives diners good reason to trust the investment.
No Savoury? No Problem
Loulouca is strictly dessert-only—no mains, no appetisers, no savoury bites whatsoever. The chef recommends having a proper meal elsewhere before arriving, especially for the evening session. Think of it as a sweet-tooth destination, not a full dinner stop.

Why It Matters
Loulouca represents a growing trend among top-tier pastry chefs: breaking free from fine-dining kitchens to open standalone dessert-focused spaces. For Singaporeans and visitors alike, it offers a rare chance to experience Michelin-calibre technique in a casual, approachable setting—no tasting menu commitment required.
If you’re curious but not ready for the full evening experience, start with a daytime visit. A $14 slice of cake and a cup of tea is a low-risk entry point into what could become one of the neighbourhood’s most talked-about openings.
