5 Best French Restaurants in Singapore (2026)

Poulet + Brasserie at ION Orchard is a modern French restaurant built around roast chicken as its signature dish, part of a larger brasserie group with multiple Singapore outlets. It runs a well-known lunch feast set for two, pairing mains like pan-seared sea bass or truffle mushroom risotto with a starter and dessert at a set price. The restaurant sits below ground level near the ION escalators, in the heart of Orchard Road.

Merci Marcel Orchard, at Palais Renaissance on Orchard Road, is part of a small French restaurant group known for its tarte flambee (a thin-crust Alsatian pizza) and weekend brunch. It runs patio seating alongside an indoor dining room, and the kitchen leans into casual French classics like ravioli and Angus beef rather than formal tasting menus. Reservations are recommended for weekend slots.

La Table d'Emma, on Club Street, is a rustic French bistro led by Chef Michael Muller, drawing on his Alsatian roots and prior experience at Le Jules Verne in Paris and as executive chef at Jaan. The 120-seat restaurant is named for his family, and the menu runs from onion soup and lobster ravioli to a traditional pot-au-feu. It's positioned as a family-friendly weekend spot as much as a date-night one.

HENRI Bistrot du Boulanger, on Kreta Ayer Road in Chinatown, pairs a full French bistro menu with an in-house boulangerie, serving fresh bread and pastries alongside dishes like confit de canard and beef bourguignon. The bakery side means bread quality gets called out repeatedly as a strength, an unusual pairing for a sit-down bistro. It's positioned for date nights as much as casual weekend meals.

Le Petit Paris, on Swan Lake Avenue in Opera Estate, is a small, chef-led French cafe and bistro where the chef has lived in Singapore for over two decades and personally prepares the pastries and desserts. Reviewers describe a genuinely intimate, homey atmosphere with the chef and staff chatting directly with diners, and weekend-only croissants that sell out. The menu spans onion soup, foie gras, duck confit and house-made gelato.
