  Recommended by my son to try out this place. The steak frites was made to perfection. Juicy and tender. It literally melts in your mouth. Order 1 set of Parmesan bone marrow. It comes in 2 halves. Regret!!! Shouldn't have ordered 1. Its just too good and should order 2 sets instead. French onion soup was 1 of the best i ever tasted. Ondeh2 cake is also nice. Overall, this place serves good food. Try it and you wont be disappointed. Staffs were very friendly and accommodating. Thnx Moi for the great food and service.

  I honestly have no idea why this place has so many 4-5 star reviews. ive seen it all over TikTok, which is why i decided to give it a try with my partner. We dined in for two and were seated outside. The ambience was actually pretty nice, no complaints there. But the food prices were honestly outrageous considering the quality of the food served. We ordered: - Steak Frites $38 - Pasta $26 - Potato Gratini $16 ? cant remember lol and wow… the steak was genuinely bad. It tasted rubbery and definitely didn’t feel fresh, most likely frozen. I asked for medium but it came closer to well done. The pasta was extremely bland with almost no flavour at all. We also ordered the potato gratin, but it literally tasted like mushroom soup poured over sliced potatoes. Again, very bland. Overall, I’d rate the food 1/5. Total bill came up to about $108, and honestly, we left after only a few bites because we just couldn’t finish the food (as seen in the photos). To be fair, the owner was actually very friendly and kind. He noticed we barely touched the food and came over to ask about it. He even offered us two pastries, then later offered kunafa and tea from his other shop, but we politely declined. Fun fact: the owner isn’t Malay like many people think. Zeekri actually owns 3 restaurants around Arab Street some of which us turkish restaurant. Maybe French cuisine just isn’t his strong point. Service and hospitality were good, but unfortunately the food was really not it for me. Still confused how this place has over 1.2k reviews with such high ratings. Personally, I don’t see myself coming back again.

  Came in on a Saturday Morning and ordered Smoked Duck Aglio Olio, Striplion Steak Frites and the butter beer. Restaurant decor was really pleasing on the eyes. The pastry display was also mesmerising, I almost convinced the missus to grab the speculous cheesecake, alas we didn’t have the time. Food arrived timely. Both dishes were on point. Steak done perfectly medium rare. Great job guys and thank you for the hospitality Moy!
