Best Affordable French Restaurants under $50 In Singapore

Singapore is a melting pot of cultures, and its cuisine reflects that diversity. From Michelin-starred restaurants to hawker centers, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. But if you’re looking for a taste of France without breaking the bank, you’re in luck. Here are 5 French restaurants in Singapore where you can get a delicious meal for under $50.

If there is one French restaurant every Singaporean knows, it’s L’Entrecôte. The formula is brilliantly simple: one iconic steak, one legendary secret sauce, unlimited crispy frites, and absolutely no decision fatigue. Their signature Trimmed Entrecôte Steak recently dropped to $38.80, the same tender slices, the same addictive sauce, just a little more accessible.

For the seriously hungry, the All-You-Can-Eat Chuck Eye Steak Buffet at $48.80 (Monday to Thursday) is the kind of offer that makes mid-week feel like a celebration. Add a starter, think oven-baked Camembert or a classic bone marrow beef tartare, and you’ve got a full French bistro evening well within budget.

📍 Multiple outlets : Customs House, Duxton Hill, River Valley

Nestled at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre, La Table d’Emma brings a warm slice of Alsace to the CBD. The menu is rooted in the honest, generous cooking of Eastern France, think tarte flambée, rich broths and seasonal produce prepared with quiet precision.

Standout dishes include the French Onion Soup en Croûte ($26), the indulgent Ravioles de Royans layered with Tête de Moine cheese ($21–$34), and the delicate Sea Bass Ceviche with sweet potato guacamole and passion fruit ($27). For the best value, their exclusive 3-course Set Lunch (Monday–Friday) starts from $28.80++, a steal for the quality on offer.

📍 Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre, 21 Merchant Road

Merci Marcel takes a more relaxed, convivial approach, a menu built for sharing, grazing and staying a little longer than planned. The dinner menu reads like a love letter to French comfort food with a modern twist, and the pricing reflects the same generous spirit.

Start with a Croque, toasted bread with truffled béchamel, Parisian ham and aged Comté ($16), or go straight for the Duck Rillettes with marinated pear and melted Camembert ($20). Mains like the Saucisse de Toulouse with buttery mash ($27), the Duck Parmentier ($31) or the crowd-favourite Ravioles de Royans ($21/$35) keep the bill comfortably under $50 per head. For dessert, a classic Crème brûlée with homemade salted caramel lands at just $12.

📍 Multiple outlets : Serangoon Gardens, Duxton Hill, Club Street

There is something deeply satisfying about a well-made galette, crisp at the edges, earthy from the buckwheat, and generously filled. French Fold does exactly this, with a menu that champions the Breton tradition in its most authentic form.

Savoury galettes start from just $8 for a plain, going up to $23 for more elaborate fillings. On the sweeter side, crêpes range from a simple brown sugar with French butter ($9) to a decadent salted caramel ($12) or homemade hazelnut spread ($12). Simple, seasonal, unfussy, and deeply French.

📍 Great World City #01-136, 1 Kim Seng Promenade

Les Bouchons Ann Siang is everything you want a French bistro to be: intimate, unpretentious, and built around the kind of cooking that makes you want to linger. Their weekday set lunch is one of the best-kept secrets in Singapore’s French dining scene, a 2-course menu for $29++ or a 3-course for $37++, available Monday to Friday from 12pm to 2pm.

Choose from starters like Burgundy Snails with Homemade Garlic or Iberico Pork Rillettes, before moving on to a Butcher’s Cut of the Day or a Grilled Filet of Barramundi with sundried tomato pesto, all served with salad and homemade French fries. Finish with a Valrhona Dark Chocolate Mousse and a coffee, and you’ve had a proper French lunch for well under $50.
