Before he became a chef, Damian D’Silva was just a young boy observing his Grandad, Gilmore D’Silva, the longtime caretaker of the Supreme Court, cook dishes from memory, passed down over 200 years.
At Gilmore & Damian D’Silva, those same recipes are carefully revived. Once prepared in a modest kitchen behind grand court halls, they are still made from scratch — with patience, precision, and heart.
Gilmore served as a detective in the Singapore Police Force before transitioning to the role of caretaker at the Supreme Court, now the National Gallery Singapore, where he dedicated over 2 decades to this position.
Through his cooking, he honours his family’s legacy and the timeless spirit of home, heritage, and community. Every plate is crafted with the guest in mind, reflecting the warmth and thoughtful hospitality that honours Gilmore’s spirit of generosity at the table.
Handcrafted daily from scratch with fresh ingredients that Chef Damian carefully sources.
