If there’s one thing Singapore does particularly well, it’s reinvention. And right now, the French dining scene is having a moment, not just with new openings, but with fresh concepts, bold collaborations and reinterpretations of classic French culture.
From Sentosa to Ann Siang Hill, here are the French restaurants (and experiences) to book right now, the ones shaping the city’s current dining mood.
At Weave Sentosa, Moutarde brings a refreshing take on French dining, one that feels intentionally convivial, generous, and family-driven.
Helmed by Paul Pairet (the mind behind Ultraviolet), Moutarde moves away from fine dining theatrics and instead leans into comfort, memory, and sharing.
The concept revolves around a central carvery station, with meats aged in-house and sliced to order, a nod to traditional European dining rituals.
Dishes like:
the now-famous egg mayonnaise with sherry soy aioli
wood-oven roasted prime rib
and even a personal twist like Indonesian oxtail soup (sup buntut)
…perfectly capture Pairet’s style: rooted in France, shaped by the world.
Come here for: a long, relaxed brunch or family-style lunch after a day in Sentosa
Already a staple of Singapore’s French café scene, Merci Marcel continues its expansion with a new opening in Serangoon Gardens, and it might just be its most lifestyle-driven space yet.
True to the brand’s DNA, the new location blends:
sunlit interiors
Mediterranean touches
and that signature effortless French brunch culture
On the plate, expect familiar favourites:
croque-monsieur
tartines
seasonal brunch dishes
natural wines and good coffee
But what makes this opening stand out is its neighbourhood feel, less destination dining, more “your new Sunday ritual”.
Come here for: long brunches that turn into afternoon drinks
Good news for East-siders: L’Entrecôte Singapore has officially opened a new outpost in Siglap, bringing its iconic Parisian formula closer to home.
The concept remains unchanged, and that’s exactly the point:
one signature dish
entrecôte steak + secret sauce + fries + salad
Now priced at $38.80, it’s still one of the most satisfying and straightforward French dining experiences in the city.
Come here for: a reliable, indulgent dinner with zero decision-making
At the very top of Singapore’s gastronomic scene, Odette continues to define excellence, but this March, it’s all about collaboration.
On March 30 & 31, 2026, Chef Julien Royer welcomes David Toutain (2 Michelin stars, Green Star in Paris) for a four-hands dinner.
The concept?
A shared philosophy rooted in:
terroir
vegetable-forward cuisine
and deep respect for producers
This is not just a dinner, it’s a dialogue between two of France’s most thoughtful chefs, expressed through a highly curated tasting menu.
Come here for: a rare, limited culinary experience
At Les Ducs, something quietly exciting is happening: the launch of Singapore’s very first French bouillon.
Bouillon Les Ducs is a three-month lunch pop-up, inspired by historic Parisian institutions known for serving classic French dishes at accessible prices.
On the menu:
eggs mayo
escargots
beef bourguignon
Alsatian sausage with sauerkraut
…with prices starting from just $3.
Created by Chef Louis Pacquelin, the concept stays true to its roots: generosity, simplicity, and everyday French dining culture.
Come here for: a casual, authentic taste of Paris, without the price tag
What ties all these places together isn’t just French cuisine, it’s a shift in how it’s experienced.
more casual, shareable concepts
more neighbourhood-driven openings
more one-off culinary moments
From a $3 bouillon lunch to a Michelin-star collaboration, Singapore is proving that French dining can be both elevated and accessible, often at the same time.
And right now?
It’s never been more exciting to explore.
