Ahead, we’ve put together a big list of places to indulge in glorious Gallic fare – from fancy restaurants for a special occasion to casual and breezy outdoor spots.
Best French restaurants in Singapore
1. The Summerhouse

It’s all about the countryside and summer vibes at The Summerhouse. The French Dining Room (so aptly named) is nestled among the rolling greenery of Seletar. Enjoy French favourites served family style with the chef’s selection of sustainably sourced ingredients. Gather your friends and share stories over a pan-seared roasted French yellow chicken breast and grilled prawns wrapped in lardo. Top it all off with some decadent chocolate ice cream served with vanilla custard and hazelnut cookie. Heaven.
