French Cuisine, Dining:
French gastronomic cuisine often costs more (or remains usually a top pick for tourists in Paris that lament high charges), still one may find reasonable choices of decent price/pedigree proportions.
Factored are 3 major components for overall meal charges, with French “gastronomique” cuisine pushing these over to the high end:
Ingredients: French prefer organic, premium grade ingredients which originate from rural stock suppliers, while prepared using high craft, effort using careful cooking.
Red-meat, greens, seasoning, all receive highly methodical cooking, spices, herbs, sauces, majority emerging over “short circuit” preparation, bills reaching up to 10x usual prices of factory-made, or high volume food producers.
Restaurants usually, often source to get premium sources for procuring regular, frequent shipping from local farms. Such remain often a) superior b) high cost.
Staffing: For crafting top grade cuisine, this requires many hired human staff.
The core service within the gastronomic diner most often demands minimally 6 up to 8 staff for getting meals ready.
All from the “brigade” (French term describing chef’s team) see to the partial and rather restricted types of work: 1 produces some sauce, 1 slices or preps greens, 1 handles meat, 1 more prepares fish, 1 preps salad-leaves, 1 handles mechanical cooking.
Such staff require high salary costs, for their culinary technique or for keeping skilled chefs for quality cooking.
Then, note that including taxes, staff salaries amount to around up to 1,8x overall charges for eateries.
French gastronomic cuisine strongly resembles “haute couture” in which all gets prepared by trained chefs with professional training, with just minimal teams, staff, using premium ingredients (using the grade of crafting which comes only paralleled by Japanese), bearing culinary mastery.

| Review 1 | I don’t eat french food often so I’m not sure what’s the benchmark for french cuisine but the food here is good. More than the taste, I enjoyed the presentation, the attentive and friendly staff, and the pace of the courses. We had a five course meal for about $130+ per person. |
| Review 2 | Good simple French food. Set lunch at $68 is really worth it. In terms of taste alone, it is better than some of the 1 Michelin star restaurant. I love the French/European looking ambience of the restaurant. I think the only reason why it did not get it’s Michelin star it’s because the food lacks creativity visually and texture of the food is not there. Anyway, I like the food, and i will be go back. |
| Review 3 | Comparing the other French restaurants , I quite a surprise to find this decent French restaurant serves quality of Feng cuisines. Quite a valuable 6 courses Omakase dinner when at $168. Came here to celebrate my wife birthday and enjoy the food with good ambiance.. except slightly bright! Open kitchen to see chef in action. Attentive waiters and waitress with excellent service. Worth a visit ..! |

| Review 2 | A great journey into the local dishes of Burgundi and some great wine selection to pair it with. Highly recommended by experience. Not many tables and so quite cosy atmosphere. |
| Review 3 | Very homely ambience. Their beef bourguignon is a must try, there is a unique twist to the taste which sets it apart from the other beef bourguignons.

| Review 1 | Overall the taste is much lighter than some traditional French restaurant. Some dishes are quite average but some dishes we like them a lot. Their dessert is my favorite among all the fine dining ever tried. |
| Review 2 | Obviously visited this after watching the final table on Netflix. The meal was really refreshing. Every dish packed a great balance of flavor that were all interesting and unexpected. Nothing was overly done and it was a delight for the senses. Nothing super fancy either, but it was simple good food executed perfectly. A lot of technique and finesse. A bit pricey, but every course ended with a amuse-bouche before the next and it was really an anticipation for the next. Loved the food, ambience and experience. |
| Review 3 | I rarely like French cuisine but this is really good. Pace of services is just right with friendly sommelier assisting in selection of wine. The service standard is excellent. Tucked in the side corner and within the residency of Raffles Hotel, it took me a while to find it. Just park at the round about for free and ask the concierge who needs to open the gate to get into the restaurant. Food is excellent and delicate. |

| Review 1 | A dining experience to remember.
The food was undoubtedly the highlight of all! Quality ingredients from all over the world. Caviar, baby lamb, sea urchin, white asparagus, salmon etc. The service was friendly. They were almost always around to make sure we get what we need. The interior was gorgeous as well. However there were some details which have made it a mixed experience for me. The bread selections were done twice within 5 minutes by two different staffs, probably communication error? We were not offered the wine list until I requested for it. There were few times that our dishes had a u-turn to the kitchen, until they were served to our table seconds later. I couldn’t figure out the reasons. Also, most of my plates weren’t placed at the centre too, I have to re-position the plates myself before eating. |
| Review 2 | First off, the service is impeccable. I’ve never seen such smooth attentive service in Singapore, and even globally this ranks as one of the top few restaurants I’ve been to in that regard.
The food was…good? But not great, which is what you would expect for the price you are paying. Some dishes were better than others. Presentation and texture were good all around but flavor didn’t quite get there. Hence 4/5 stars overall. The tasters, bread, and the cheese platter were all excellent. I’ve never had someone serve me cheese with such passion and knowledge as the young man who did so this evening. The interior is gorgeous too. Definitely feels swanky throughout. Considering how long Les Amis has been around they’ve clearly put in effort to keep it looking stellar. If the price tag doesn’t scare you away, this is definitely worth experiencing at least once. But calibrate your expectations around the food appropriately. |
| Review 3 | Les Amis has been on hot for 27 years in Singapore 🇸🇬 And also is the one only restaurant in Asia with the coveted “Three Pillars”, covering the three main aspects of any dining experience – 3 Michelin Stars (Food), 5 Stars by Forbes Travel Guide (Service) and Grand Award by Wine Spectator (Wine).
We ordered 6 course set menu, I would like to thank the chef for presenting the delicious food in the world 🌎 Every single dish I love it , the Hokkaido King crab source,the caviar,the scallop ,the salmon ,when I tasted it felt like jumping in the ocean .The beef tenderloin bringing you to traveling in Australia, flying on the sky to see a lot cows are eating the grasses .Best quality .Definitely I will come again ☺️ |

I just left the restaurant and I am already thinking of my next visit!! |
| Review 2 | One of my favourite French restaurants. Every meat dishes I have tried here were good. Lovely creme brulee. Casual yet classy vibes. Attentive service. |
| Review 3 | The weekday set lunches at Bistro Du Vin are value-for-money and more importantly, delicious. The servings are adequate and the there is quality in the food served. Diners get a complimentary bread basket as well. It gets brisk around lunch time, so do make a reservation ahead of time if possible. Service is also good, but was a little patchy on our last visit. Nonetheless, it was still an enjoyable experience |

| Review 2 | Both food and service are 10 out of 10. Don’t worry if you think 4 courses won’t fill up your stomach, they come with A LOT OF complementary small dishes which are so satisfying! Will definitely come back again for the food, view, ambience and service! |
| Review 3 | Overall, the food and service are both excellent. Despite it being only a 6-course dinner, some dishes are not listed inside, like the free-flow sourdough bread, Ribena dessert, petit four, birthday cake (if you are celebrating a birthday), and a cup of coffee or tea. So, it is definitely a very filling meal.
I think it is worth the S$288 per pax and another visit when the seasonal menu changes. |

| Review 2 | Great service, lovely food, awesome experience. Chef Julian came to our table to serve the main course, which was a huge surprise.
The only little thing to mention is the welcome drink. We were charged for the welcome drink (tea and coffee), which we did not expect at such a classy set up. But in no way is this a negative for the restaurant. It’s all 5 stars and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a special romantic dinner. |

| Review 1 | Top notch service and hospitality, warm and friendly. Classy and quiet ambience. High ceiling. I booked early for the Citibank 1-for-1 Menu which $100++ for a table for 2. It comes with a salad, soup, main, dessert and coffee & tea. Lobster Bisque for the soup. There are 2 options to choose from for the salad, main and dessert. The taste was of good quality but the serving size of the steak was puny. |
| Review 2 | Had Sunday brunch here and this is probably one of the best I’ve had. I could taste the quality in every dish despite it being a buffet. My favourite dishes were the foie gras, the seared scallops and the lobster. It was very filling and we did not have any space to go back for seconds for any dish. The truffle butter with bread was good too. I highly recommend this place as the quality of the food served here is really higher than most of the other buffets I’ve had. It was also well-paced out where we started eating at 12pm and only left at about 2.45pm. For desserts, the vanilla ice cream is definitely a must try!
Review 3: Thank you for a wonderful valentines experience! Food and service were both top notch. The set was pricey, but on Valentine’s Day that is typical. Even though all the courses were delicious, the crab tartine and bread basket were my favourite 😅 |
| Review 3 | Unique high tea experience. Quiet environment with friendly staff. Ordered 2 tier for a family of 4. Nice sweet savoury and appearance of the food are appetizing. Comes with TWG tea. Advance booking is highly recommended as is fully booked. |

Food was good. Ordered the oven roasted french chicken, traditional ratatouille, and parma ham. Very eclectic choices – but all turned out great.

Not too pretentious. Had a really pleasant time over there. Have to definitely make reservations ahead, so FYI. |

Prices are OK too – I was expecting really expensive, but if we had stuck to sets and drunk less wine (!!!!) then it wouldn’t have been too bad at all. We went off piste so became expensive! Would definitely go back. Lovely setting, great food and excellent service. |

| Review 1 | The food was as awesome as the wine selected too. Some quiet place that you wanted to tuck in & chill for the rest of your weekend. The only flaw was we should have chosen a cooling table seat in the restaurant but the outside high chair seats looks amazingly wonderful to be at (just Singapore weather is way too humid and hot these few days). Should have some cooking fan or mobile air cond to keep those seated outside more comfortable. Definitely will be back for other food options as we only tried the steak and cheese platter for a 2 ladies appetite. The rib-eye steak was nicely medium done and it goes very well with or without their sauce. |
| Review 2 | Lovely French restaurant with a bistro and terrace seating.
They also had a section selling French products from wine, cheese, cured meats to pastas, jams etc. Very good spread. Their set lunch was very good, and was told it changes every week. I will definitely go again. |
| Review 3 | Love the food and ambience here. Good service. Decent prices. We enjoyed the perfectly done lamb rack special. The place was hopping on a Friday evening. There is also a supermarket with a good range of French products including cheeses and wines; and a bakery right next to the restaurant. |

| Review 1 | A fancy restaurant to indulge in artisan desserts. Love my experience at Mad About Sucre with my friends.
We got 4 desserts that come with tea/cocktail pairing. The service staff were really attentive, taking their time to explain the ingredients in each dessert. Expect to spend about $30 per pax but I feel that the money spent is worth the experience. |

| Review 3 | Great food! We ordered the tomato soup and salad to share. For mains we had barramundi, braised lamb shank and beef, and finished off with the “bull” and the winter pear with honey for dessert. Everything’s tasty especially the tomato soup and the pear! Most if not all ingredients are flown in and organic. Worth visiting. |
Some Main Forms of French Restaurants:
Bistro
Bistros feature intimate, typically familial eateries which offer classic fare with French alcohol.
One might get basic French fare which emerges usually from brasseries, including of some Tartes, Braises or Stews.
Bouchon
Especially with Lyon, bouchons are private, casual dining venues which usually provide rich high-fat ingredients including pate, roast pork, offal’s, or roasts.
Boulangerie
The bread retailer. Exclusive boulangeries provide no items like pastries and cakes.
Brasserie
Brasserie refers formally to “brewery,” thus the brasserie remains the French incarnation of the pub: beer or cider is typically delivered with some lively, crowded surroundings.
Typical brasserie dining has steak frites and mussels (more of frites, included).
Caf
From France, the caf refers to the destination to get coffee, or even some minor snacks and lunches taking meal versions of the Croque Monsieur and the substantial salad.
Patisserie
The bakery serving some cakes or sweets. Here you may get to obtain Eclairs, Macarons or Petit Fours.
15 French meals that are must-tries:
- Steak frites
Voila – The basic, and elaborate recipe was derived from French bistro dining.
- Chicken confit
With such old confit, some chicken gets peppered or spiced using herbs, subsequently gradually baked with olive oil for turning flavors dense or soft.
- French onion soup
Survive chilling, frosty winters by warming up with aromatic hot French onion soup. Add in crunchy cheesy croutons toppings.
- Bouillabaisse
The classic French fish soup gets brewed along Saffron, Orange, Thyme, with Chilli.
- Salmon en papillote
The ingenious method of covering fish with paper preceding cooking guarantees for most of moisture or spices get contained well.
- Quiche Lorraine
The quiche Lorraine remains a high demand, extremely popular recipe in taste.com.au. Originally quiche Lorraine describes the exposed custard bake along smoked bacon. This remains just one of later bakes which put cheese into cake blend.
- Croque monsieur
Exclusively from France is where simple cheese or ham toastie get developed as some gourmet dining. Put some poached and crisp egg upon it for baking a more striking, very elegant Croque Madame.
- Boeuf bourguignon
Boeuf bourguignon features some prime form of lean portions of meat getting baked to elegant haute dining. For alcoholic seasoning, try to top up with dashes of Burgundian pinot noir sprinkled into the stew.
- Cassoulet
Cassoulet features part of many formal dishes from French cooking, from wherein you derive 3 regional styles. With more time distinctions over these got greyer or ingredients get vaguer. Such crust then gets debated, with classicists staying convinced, that ingredients are thrown into the stew 7 times within baking time.
- Lamb shank navarin
Navarin describes some French lamb ragout (with stew). The lamb gets baked mildly or gradually up to soft melted textures, tastes.
- Hazelnut dacquoise
Holding tiers of almond meringue or dense whipped ingredients, such old French cake dacquoise – enunciated dah-kwahz- remains very tasty.
- Frangipane tart
The French style tart holds some fruity flavour. Season this up using Salt caramel seasoning to bake sugary desserts that delight.
- Tarte tatin
Did this come from some blunder, mishap from a random kitchen or did some Tatin sisters seek to bake their apple tart inside out? No one knows the original version, still with use of butter mix, heavy ingredients, caramelized raisins with laces of sauce, such sweet tarts fall under a class of their own.
- Souffle
The whipped desserts remain very lovely, delightful.
- Paris-brest
Related to some croquembouche, the custard-topped cold pastry puff resembles some huge, rich chocolate eclair.
