RWS opens upscale sustainable seafood restaurant

Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) has launched Laurus Table, a new, 106-seater upscale speciality restaurant at The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort. focused on sustainable seafood and refined gastronomy.

Headlining the kitchen is consultant chef Fabrizio Ferrari, a Michelin-star Italian chef and Netflix star, who brings 15 years of culinary expertise and a passion for responsible sourcing.

The menu at Laurus Table focuses on seafood dishes inspired by the Mediterranean Amalfi coastline

Ferrari, who earned his first Michelin star at age 28 and maintained the accolade for 15 years at his family restaurant in Lecco, Italy, has crafted a menu rooted in modern Mediterranean and Italian traditions. His creations also feature influences from his extensive training, including time with three-Michelin-star chef Mauro Uliassi, and his recent stint running Fabrizio’s Kitchen in Seoul.

The dining experience emphasises warmth, connection, and engagement, featuring an open kitchen equipped with a wood-fired pizza oven and charcoal grills. Dishes are prepared using wood-fired, char-grilled, steamed, and wok-seared techniques.

Menu highlights include Panzanella di Polpo (slow-cooked octopus with Panzanella salad), Branzino in crosta di sale, finocchietto e Limone (sustainably farmed whole seabass baked in a sea salt crust), and Ferrari’s signature pasta dishes like Scialatielli ai Frutti di Mare al cartoccio, which is Scialatielli spaghetti pasta sautéed with sustainable seafood, tossed in a rich seafood sauce wrapped in foil, and theatrically unveiled tableside.

A passionate advocate for sustainability, Ferrari is a Marine Stewardship Council global ambassador. This ethos is woven into the restaurant’s operations, with the menu featuring fresh seafood from The Fish Farmer, a sustainable local fish farm, and herbs grown daily in the hotel’s own on-site garden.

Guests can deepen their connection with food through immersive experiences, including chef-led tastings and interactive cooking classes that incorporate a guided tour of the herb garden. Laurus Table also serves a residential-style international breakfast, highlighting house-baked breads, heritage condiments, and sustainably sourced local produce, including a bespoke Calamansi Curd Yoghurt created by a local artisan.
