Apart from the key attractions like the Singapore Flyer, Sentosa, Universal Studios, and the Marina Bay Sands, the most appealing thing about Singapore is food. In Singapore, there are many restaurants serving different cuisines from all over the world, and it is one of the best things about dining out in Singapore.
French Cuisine is extremely popular in Singapore, and we are lucky to have many restaurants serving good and authentic French food.
Here’s my list of the Best French Restaurants in Singapore.
French Restaurant / Baguette / Bistro / Bouchon / Boulangerie / Brasserie / Café / Crème Brûlée / Coq au vin / Foie Gras / Gâteaux / Patisserie / Pot au feu / Steak frites / Tarte Tatin
Absinthe French Restaurant
For a long time, my friends have been telling me that I simply have to check out Absinthe French Restaurant. One of my friend said that it is the best French restaurant in Singapore. Sadly, I have yet to go there. But I will definitely grab some friends and head there soon.

With all the michelin star restaurants opening in Singapore, it is so exciting to be living here right now.

French restaurants are aplenty in Singapore, it is not difficult to find good French food here. But if you are on a hunt for a pocket-friendly option, the options become considerately limited. So I was quite excited to hear about Poulet, a casual French restaurant, by the Thai Express group, at the new Bugis+ (previously Illuma) which specialises in poulet rôti (roast chicken).
It is a casual dining place that serves affordable and decent French fare. The food is acceptable; and at these prices, there is little to fault.

Picotin
The laid-back atmosphere of the bistro makes Picotin the ideal place for a nice escape from town. Just in case you might be interested, it is partly owned by award winning chef Emmanuel Stroobant of Saint Pierre (see below).

Saveur Restaurant
From a stall in a coffee shop to a full-fledged restaurant at Purvis Street, Saveur Restaurant has done a good job serving inexpensive French food. The long line of hungry patrons during meal times is a testament to its popularity. Most of the main courses are averagely priced at $10. So, if you are on a budget, check out Saveurs. Remember to go early, or be prepared to queue.

The Little India area is a mini paradise for French food. Besides The French Stall along Serangoon Road, you also have Cocotte French Restaurant in Wanderlust hotel. And of course, The Black Sheep Cafe at Mayo Street.
I’d recommend this place if you are looking for a restaurant that offers affordable French Food in Singapore. Try the Baked Brie Cheese, Duck Leg Confit, Crispy Pork Cheek, and Souffle.

The French Stall is the restaurant that most people mention when you ask them where to have French food in Little India. Homely French food in an unpretentious (road-side) setting.

Cool list. And I always have to do a double take whenever Gunther’s is mentioned…
Nice list! French food is one of my fav!
Thanks!
Hi, this might be a bit of a nitpick, but the there are actually 2 separate establishments by Joel Robuchon in RWS: L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon and Joel Robuchon Restaurant. The former is an open-kitchen, counter-seating concept, whereas the latter is the full-fledged fine dining experience.
this is a wonderful list… oh so many to try.
btw is the black and white photo under Cocotte, from Cocotte??? cos i dun remember their chairs is like that.
cleartear: no, that photo is DB Bistro
drooling already! there’s this new stall at katong that sells french food in a coffee shop- Saveur! cheap n good duck confit they have.
I would not recommend Picotin under any circumstances. Had a horrible experience there and the menu wasn’t worth the trouble!
Another list with overpriced, overrated restaurants typical of Singaporean ‘must be seen at’ lists.
You should try Cafe Gavroche! opened by the same people at Brasserie Gavroche and located just across the street from the latter
Stumbled upon a French bistro named Taratata…..
Give a try… Very classic French
Same street as Ember and KSS.
What bout “saveur” ? Affordable french dining !
Any idea where i can find good ratatouille in Singapore?
