Le Bistrot offers something different in Singapore and also never disappoints. The portions are generous to say the least and the wine prices are excellent if you ask for advice. Le Bistrot follows a tried and tested formula but the guys in charge have now perfected their art. Really excellent.

It's hard to believe that a respectable joint with generally good food would deign to sully its reputation with such a move, & all for a measly S$14... Last Fri, after finishing our mains, waiter came by asking if we wanted dessert, we said we would pass as we were stuffed When he asked again, a friend (who evidently hadn't... More

If you are looking for genuine French food and have been to France, you will know that this place sells you what you are looking for. Service is unpretentious and the portions are big. Love the foi gras terrine!

We had a birthday dinner to celebrate so we assembled a big group for dinner and it was also my second time back to the restaurant. I was told that the restaurant would impose a minimum charge of S$78++ per person but as I knew the voracious appetites of my group well, I accepted it. The restaurant sent a text... More

We made a late decision to go out for some meat, and I managed to get a table for dinner, but only outside. Luckily the evening was fine if a little toasty by the time we finished our meal, and another time - if there were another time - I would have to be inside. As with many other reviewers,... More

We managed to secure a 9pm reservation for a table of 6 on a Saturday night in this hard-to-book restaurant. Started the evening in the bar area upstairs, with a recommended bottle of rose champagne that was dry and delicious, great suggestion by the bar tender, and a terrific start. The food here is really very good - honest, true-to-genre... More

Everything about this place points to the fact that the owner is very opportunistic and wants to make max $$ in shortest time possible. Let me explain: 1. they dont allow you to bring your own wine, even if you pay cockage OR buy a bottle from them, then consume a second bottle of your own! And their wine starts... More

I went for dinner with a group on a business dinner. We have ordered beef (medium) which came cut in slices. But the one of the meat pieces was really still rare and the other one more than medium. The side dishes were quite special and very French. The staff was okay. Not great - not bad. And the athmosphere... More

I do not understand what the people are looking for when they are going to a restaurant. I have travelled often to France over the last 20 years and I think a fair bit over French food. When I read the reviews and when I compare with what I had, I think there is a serious problem with guys writting... More

Looked up the address on google maps, and they haven't updated their details. Took a cab to their old location in Prinsep street. Couldn't get another cab on busy Friday night, so walked 20min to the new location. Really need to update google maps, this must happen to many people. I was expecting a more intimate atmosphere. We dined outside... More
