The Lo & Behold Group

What The Lo & Behold Group does

The Lo & Behold Group is a Singapore-headquartered hospitality and lifestyle company founded in 2005 that operates more than eleven restaurant, bar, and lifestyle concepts under a single multi-format platform. Its portfolio spans fine dining (notably Odette, a three-Michelin-star restaurant ranked #1 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2024), modern European casual dining (Claudine, Fico), contemporary Southeast Asian casual (The Coconut Club, Belimbing), neighborhood and wine bars (Bar Somma, Bar Bon Funk, Le Bon Funk), a beach club (Tanjong Beach Club), and a fashion-and-lifestyle crossover (Beyond The Vines). In 2024 the group launched New Bahru, a creative cluster in Singapore housing more than sixty brands across food, retail, and creative services, and in 2025 announced Future Resonance, a wellness vertical. In 2025 it also entered its first international market via a joint venture with BAO London (operating Louise), and in 2026 opened the Blue Box Café at Raffles Hotel Singapore as a brand collaboration with Tiffany & Co.

The group's revenue model is primarily on-premise F&B — covers and check averages across fine-dining, casual, and bar venues — augmented by an events division serving corporate and private functions, gift card and merchandise sales, and a wine e-commerce subscription service (Clink Clink). Pricing ranges from accessible casual pricing (Tanjong Beach Club, Bar Bon Funk) to premium fine-dining covers at Odette. Customer segments span Singapore residents, regional and international tourists, and corporate event clients. Operating infrastructure is built around central capabilities — chef talent (Julien Royer, Mirko Febbrile, Keirin Buck), central kitchen, marketing, and events — deployed across venues that increasingly share foot traffic, particularly through New Bahru as a destination ecosystem. The group is privately held with no external funding disclosed.
