Eighteen Chefs

Eighteen Chefs is a restaurant chain and franchise company in Singapore. It specializes in Western food, but local cuisine is also served. As of September 2020, Eighteen Chefs has a total of eleven outlets in Singapore.

History

The first Eighteen Chefs outlet was opened in 2007, at Eastpoint Mall, by the ex-offender and former drug addict Benny Se Teo.

While on an internship with Jamie Oliver, he heard about the Fifteen Foundation. He started Eighteen Chefs along similar lines, and is now the director of the company in 2015.

In 2009, three outlets located at Yishun, Tiong Bahru and Buona Vista were closed due to financial losses.
