Meet the Team
Behind the Tavern
At Chef’s Tavern, you’ll recognise familiar faces; because our kitchen and service team is the very same one behind Chef Stephan’s former fine-dining restaurant, Chef’s Table.
Bringing with them years of experience, exacting standards, and a shared passion for excellence, this trusted crew continues to deliver the same impeccable food and heartfelt service guests came to love - now in a setting that’s more relaxed, more lively, and refreshingly approachable.
Fine-dining quality, with none of the fine-dining fuss. Just great food, genuine hospitality, and a team that knows how to make every visit feel special.
Private Dining & Events
Looking to impress clients, celebrate milestones, or host your next unforgettable team dinner? Our private dining spaces at Chef’s Tavern are made for it.
Tucked away from the main dining room, our intimate private rooms are perfect for boardroom-style lunches, business celebrations, or important client meetings, comfortably seating up to 16 guests. Choose between one spacious room or split it into two cosy rooms for up to 8 guests each.
Planning something bigger? We’ve got you covered. Our full venue is available for private hire, with a capacity of up to 96 guests. Flexible layouts, warm hospitality, and food that sparks conversation - all the makings of a memorable corporate event.
Let us help you host with flair, flavour, and fuss-free service.

Chan Wei Peng
Executive Chef
With nearly a decade of experience in Singapore’s dynamic culinary scene, and a standout stint at the two-Michelin-starred Aquavit in New York; Chef Wei Peng brings quiet confidence, creativity, and precision to every plate.
Inspired from a young age by his godmother’s heartfelt cooking, he’s driven by a deep passion for showcasing seasonal ingredients through diverse techniques, often drawing on Nordic influences to create thoughtful, beautifully balanced menus. Calm under pressure and quick on his feet, Wei Peng leads with a steady hand and sharp intuition, making the fast pace of the kitchen feel almost effortless.
His leadership has earned both industry recognition and the respect of his peers, from receiving the Frances L. Roth Leadership Award at the Culinary Institute of America in 2018, to rising through the ranks to become Chef de Cuisine at Chef’s Table by Stephan Zoisl. Since 2024, he has represented the restaurant sector in the Singapore Chefs Association, and serves as Advisor to the Singapore Junior Chef Club, where he is a passionate mentor to the next generation of culinary talent.
At Chef’s Tavern, he continues to shape bold yet refined experiences that reflect both his artistry and heart.
