Located in a discrete hotel,this affordable French brasserie has more to offer than at first glance. Desserts were surprisingly top notch.Don't miss the salted caramel dark chocolate tart with pecans.
It's not really in city centre and usually people might think it's just so so especially in doubt of its authenticity as a French restaurant in an Arab hotel. I ordered its favourite pan-seared frog legs, foie gras terrine and deep fried crispy pork belly. Particularly the crispy pork belly is great. Very crispy skin and juicy meat, though the bottom of the meat is a little bit dry. However when matched with its mashed potato it gives a nice balance of complicated taste. The frog legs are good but if it could exclude the backbone of the frog it would be better because it's difficult to eat with fork and knife. Foie gras terrine is above standard and matched very nicely with red wine (I ordered Haut Brion) and the slightly sweet brioche. The ambience is appropriate particularly for small group dinner. Service is very attentive and nice. Place to come again.
Ok so its a French restaurant and what's more with a pretty highly touted chef, I was like wow must be good coupled with all the fantastic reviews. The restaurant was nothing fancy and tables were small and squeezy. Nothing romantic and lighting was dim. They could have added on a tablecloth or tea light candles to enhance the atmosphere. I know this isn't a high end restaurant but still some thoughts could have gone into it. Staff were attentive though and pretty quick, but just lacking in some form of follow up due to shyness or fear of opening a can of worms (will describe more) Ordered the escargot and frog leg. Snails were small in size, one of the smallest I ever had and one of them had bits of sand or watever grainy in them; and the frog leg while not too bad, still weren't exactly wow. Ordered the pork belly as was recommended to be one of the signatures. It was served cold and didn't whet my appetite. Also had the beef cheek, served in claypot, another signature. Maybe just not my style... tasted like bak kut teh to me.. I was asked how was dinner by the server, and my reply was bit hesitant and went
We revisited Toots Brasserie for dinner as we enjoyed the food 2 months ago. Once again I opted for the pan-seared fois gras which was just as good. For our mains, I had the beef tenderloin while my husband chose the pork belly which we both liked very much. While we were deciding on the wine, we had a chat with the friendly female staff. We were surprised to learn from her that chef Jason had recently left the restaurant and the sous chef has taken over. For a moment we were worried that the food would not be up to par. Fortunately our fears were unfounded as the new head chef proved to be just as competent. After a satisfying meal, we had a quick chat with the chef. We hope to return in the not too distant future. Including a bottle of lovely red wine, we paid S$235 for 2 starters, mains, dessert, espresso, taxes and tips.
