Conveniently located within a 5min walk from Bugis MRT. This small French bistro which is located within the Duo development serves excellent quiche and the chocolate marble cake is excellent. There is also a small French supermarket where one can buy French produce. Can get crowded during peak lunc...

Food is tasty with a good selection of items. The shop selling foodstuff from France has good variety too. Unfortunately the menu wasnt updated and the staff could have been more friendly for the price range of the restaurant. Nonetheless we enjoyed the stews that he had that day

Five stars for everything! Food, drinks, service, etc. I go here a lot and I always have a great time. Food is amazing for brunch and dinner. The store and coffee and snacks are all great too. I have nothing bad to say! I only wish it was open later on weekdays.

Service crew, Joy, is bad as she can't even make a good cup of cappuccino cos she has to scope the foam from the milk that she steamed to top-up the coffee. I think she doesn't know the pouring technique. May be she's new. By the way, she 's also very rude.

Very good service and very good food.
The Croque Madame was amazing, it should come with more salad. But the taste is very authentic and it is very big.
The meat (all the steak) are really amazing.

Delicious brunch food - we ordered the croque madame, duck hash and eggs benedict. Not the best eggs ben I've had but the first 2 were awesome. Great service and atmosphere too!

Coffee was not bad but I don't recommend the matcha latte as it was very diluted.
