Great restaurant. Food quality is consistent and very attentive service staff. Chef will personally come out to give you suggestions depending on your group size. Highly recommended.
Lovely Southern French food in an enjoyable setting, without any false pretenses. The ceviche as a starter was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the Bouillabaisse too. Friendly service and reasonable prices combined with high quality food. They don't claim to be fine dining or high-end gastronomy, but they surprise to the positive... Will definitely come back
Service and food was good. Foie gras terrine and Sakura bei pasta was one of the best, pork jowl was a little drier than expected. Wagyu striploin, Royal cheese ravioli was good too.
Ordered the bacalao croquette, rabbit leg & wagyu sirloin. Rabbit leg was well marinated but meat was tough. Overall well executed dishes but lacks excitement.
We went for dinner and had a fantastic time: Great food and very good wine list. very friendly service as well. Very keen to try their lunch set soon.
Quality of food was good, service was excellent but the air conditioning was warm and this obviously put a dent in our overall dinner experience.
It was a great culinary experience. We had the omakase course. Each dish was executed very well, especially the pork jowl. The meat was tasty and tender, much like our local cha siew. Service was also attentive. I would have given them full rating if the service staff were more familiar with the ingredients in each dish. They need a bit more training on how to explain the cooking style and type of spices and herbs used. It was quite obvious that they were just memorising the technical terms, because when we queried them further on what they meant, they were unable to explain them in lay man terms. But the quality of cooking more than make up for this minor weakness.
We had the "Menja I Calla" omakase-style dinner and we had more than enough to eat. The communal sharing plates were the stars - meltingly tender pork jowl, tasty pata negra jamón ibérico, crunchy bacalao accras with fiery nahm jihm, al dente fregola with sotong. Chef Francois makes sure his customers are happy, and corrected things personally when there was a miscommunication between the waitstaff and the kitchen about one of my friends' allergies. Whereas the cuisine is inventive, we found the desserts uninspiring, undifferentiated, and a letdown from the standard of the cuisine. A good pastry chef with a palate and sophistication to match Chef Francois' is needed here, soon. The wine list is commendable, with a good selection from the south of France, especially Languedoc-Rousillon, under S$100, although my first white wines choices (Dom Vacheron from Sancerre, Patrick Piuze from Chablis) were sold out when we were there.
Very good service and ample food recommendations from the waiting staff. Restaurant owner Francois also came to check on the customers with his warm smiles. Food is fresh and delectable. Atmosphere is casual yet non-rowdy.
This was my first visit to Bar à Thym for lunch after going there for dinner twice. Their lunch set is very good value. The besides wagyu beef cheek was excellent in particular.
Food was good service was bad. Our reservation at 7pm and we were early and reach by 6.30pm. Wasn't welcoming when we reach and during dinner, staff wasn't attentive at all. The restaurant wasn't crowded when we were at the last Friday. Only 3 tables for Friday night!
Very tasty food, perfectly prepared and presented, relative to the pricing (lunch set menu at SGD 38), combined with some reasonably priced wines made it an extremely pleasant dining experience. Friendly and effective service, good atmosphere and convenient location: all is set to make Bar A Thym a great success.
Omakase dinner was excellent - delicious and well worth the price. We loved the warm and attentive service, and lovely ambience. We'll definitely be back!
Awesome food! Every meal is so good and presentation is amazing. Would definitely go back. The chef has very good PR, which makes us feel welcome! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Great food, very nice service... everyone was taking good care of us and we enjoyed a very nice evening. Was nice that even the chef came to every table to have a quick chat. We'll definitly come back :)
friendly staff, great wine and food. would definitley go there again with friends/business partners. would've been better if airconditioner was a bit stronger but overall very good experience.
Excellent food and service. We ordered the braised pork belly and it was so good we ordered it again. I recognized the staff and chef from Absinthe and what a team!
Fantastic food, great service with a smile from Head Chef Francois! Highly recommend the Omakase menu. I look forward to returning in the near future.
I had not been to Bar a Thym for a few months. I found a new menu with a larger choice of deserts. I tried the chocolare mousse, which was nice. Overall, great lunch, friendly service and good value.
Lovely restaurant. I like that the ingredients used in the food is fresh and the food is delicately prepared. Every dish is tantalising and I must also commend on the excellent service from the waiter. I did not tell him I am celebrating a friend's birthday but casually mentioned when I am ordering the bubbly and he came back with a birthday dessert.
Unpretentious & delicious food that's well executed by chef Francois. We left it to him to design the menu and really enjoyed our meal. Service is casual but could be one notch better to make the entire experience a "6".
The food is always good here. Chef Francois delivers every time. It's a very unpretentious and laid back environment. Food and smiles aways puts this place on top.
Delicious original food with some sharing plates. Francois changes the menu regularly and his southern style cuisine is much more interesting than a lot of other French restaurants in Singapore. Excellent service too.
Very good food. More attention could be paid to some detail (for example, I'm sure a better range of Dover Sole could be sourced; and the plating could be more imaginative), but otherwise this is a really good effort at a French "adresse"!
The food was on point, highly executed with a South East Asian twist
The food was excellent, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and effort they put in. I overheard another table saying 'never expected the food to be that good'. Will definitely come back again.
That was just perfect! Chef is very professional and finds the time to share few words with you. Prices are worth what tou have in your plates.
The ingredients used are fresh and some are seasonal. Sat at the chef counter and watched the food being cooked and served was one of a kind experience. The chefs are friendly and generous in sharing cooking tips. Small free bits and shots were served to us through the night. The desserts are tasty. The chocolate is right sweetNess. The sorbets simply amazing after a hearty meal. The macrons were sticky, chewy and spongy. Best macron eaten so far. The service crew was attentive and friendly. One of them even open the door when l about to enter the restroom.
Brilliantly sublime restaurant, with the best French food I have tasted in years (including Paris itself). The menu offers several of the French classic dishes but in addition the Catalan mix to the cooking/range really offers many unique mouthwatering options.
Fantastic food and great value for set lunch at 38++. Reservation process was seamless. Only minor issue was that the first waitress couldn't really answer our questions about the menu as my dunning companion was lactose intolerant but this was quickly addressed by another server
Food was great - had the set menu for a business lunch. Would have preferred the dessert to be optional, as not everyone wants 3 courses for lunch
My 3rd visit. Excellent Omakase set meals. traditional french / spanish food, done well. A good selection of wine. Desserts was a let down. It did not match the chef's skill level. They need a better pastry chef to match Francois culinary skills.
My hubby & I enjoyed our dining experience at Bar A Thym very much. We ordered omakase with no duck and lamb. We were served fresh oyster, followed by squid, pork, prawn and beef cooked in different ways. The beef was superb. It melted in the mouth. The service was excellent with its friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Friendly staff and tasty dishes. Room is small but rather cozy and I like it very much. Service was nice but it would have been nicer with more speed.
Good place for business meeting. One of our fav choice of restaurants. Quality of food and service are good too. We will be back for more.
Fantastic experience! Best French restaurant I had in a long time. Elegant, original recipes. Chef was so attentive, helpful. Nice selection of wine. We will go back for sure.
We went for the omakase menu, we had a very special pork dish, crab on angel hair pasta, squid with large couscous, salted cod croquettes with a very special Thai sauce. The food reflects profoundly about the chef's character, not stereotyped to a specific genre, in which we throughly enjoyed. Highly Recommended for a seasoned diner who is looking for an open mind, let the experience open your palate.
Excellent experience! The service was excellent and the food was great. We let the chef do, giving only food restrictions and budget, and we were not disappointed.
Surprisingly hectic during lunch - very good food, but you will need to wait a bit. Sit further in if you want a little cooler atmosphere.
Excellent service from the staff of Bar A Thym. We have the omakase menu with partner's strict food restriction due to food allergies. The kitchen was able to prepare our meal with no issues. Totally impressed. Overall great experience and will definitely come back again.
We were a party of 6 and decided to follow the Chef suggestion. Fantastic experience, the Omakase was rich, tasted great and generous. The service was exquisite and attentive and wines good and affordable (not easy to find in Singapore). Laurent
