Where to celebrate Bastille Day the French way

Liberté, égalité… gastronomie! France’s National Day is just around the corner — and here in Singapore, Bastille Day (14 July) is the perfect excuse to indulge in French food, bubbly, and festive flair. From elegant brunches to a unique way to earn a free kir, here are five vibrant ways to fête like the French this July.

Bastille Day (La Fête Nationale) marks the beginning of the French Revolution, with the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. It’s now a global celebration of French culture — with good food, good wine, and even better company.

  • Where: Chez Suzette
  • When: July 13, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM
  • What: This brunch is your ticket to Paris — minus the jet lag. Held in the heart of Tanjong Pagar, Chez Suzette’s Bastille Day Brunch blends a two-hour free flow of Champagne, Ricard, French wines and more with festive food and fun. Tuck into exclusive specials like fresh oysters, explore the à la carte menu, and join in on classic French games and activities. It’s a sunlit, sparkling celebration, where $98++ buys you more than a meal: it’s a French state of mind.
  • Where: l’Entrecote the Steak and Fries Bistro
  • When: July 13 and 14, 2025
  • What: Add a little charm to your dinner date. At L’Entrecôte, saying just one phrase in French — any phrase from the menu — earns you a complimentary Kir cocktail with your main course. Whether you order your Steak Frites with a bold “Je voudrais…” or shyly whisper “s’il vous plaît,” your reward is a perfectly chilled apéritif on the house. A simple and elegant nod to France, just for speaking the language of love.

Try their new Tomato Pesto or Garlic Butter Mussels, paired with a refreshing Maison Perrier in Citrus, Raspberry & Rose, or Ginger & Lime. The Mussels & Perrier Set makes for a light yet flavour-packed French meal, perfect for a tropical July.
