We had a hard time finding this outlet. Pretty hidden and you probably won't notice it from the main roads. Staff was pretty nice and tried their best to guide us to the place over the phone when we called up to ask for more detailed directions.

One could also stock up on imported goodies such as cheeses, wines, condiments within the shop when dining here. As we had a reservation, we were led to our table pretty quickly.

let's have brunch! |
drinks menu |
Decided to do a light brunch as perhaps only two of us were super hungry while the other half were okay. Decided on baked camembert cheese, a savoury crepe and another sweet crepe to complete the meal.
The manager is a humorous guy and he was advising us on the sequence that we should be enjoying our orders. We learnt that we shouldn't be eating the camembert with a savoury/sweet crepe or something along the line. Hahaa, okay we will enjoy it one after the other then!
bread basket and butter (complimentary) |
After our orders were taken, the bread basket was served. The butter serving was not enough for the four of us and thus, we shyly asked if we could have some more. The staff had no qualms on such request and immediately brought out 2 more portions of the butter. Thank you for your generosity!

How about a glass of wine for a mid-day tipple? Why not?
Bordeaux M de Monsegur 2016 @$14 |
Baked Camembert @$20 (half) |
We were actually surprised when we dig into the baked camembert. Was it supposed to be that watery? Hmm. More liquid than what we used to have in other places where it was only lightly baked till soft and with a drizzle of honey. Here, it is just the pure taste of a liquid camembert (savoury, creamy) after the top layer was broken off.

Served with crispy toast but I preferred it with the baguette as the bread could soak up more of the cheese!
La Montagnarde @$22 |
bacon, Raclette cheese, caramelised onions |
The savoury crepe was good. Love the accompanying salad at the side. Felt like a balanced meal.
Ended the meal with a sweet crepe but my friends were disappointed. The crepe seemed to be undercooked and more doughy in texture. For me, am not sure if it was supposed to be of this texture but I could still eat it. Just felt it was a tad underwhelming as it seemed to be prepared rather simply; banana slices, crepe and lots of chocolate sauce.
La Banane - Choc @$12 |
All in all, the staff are friendly and efficient here. This place has good relaxing vibes to it.
Thank you Tiara, Kris and Shermaine for the treat!
