Merci Marcel - Tiong Bahru

We had the angus beef which came medium rare instead of medium which we specifically requested for. The sautéed mushrooms was the outstanding item for this dish. The marinated crab tartine is a “must” to order. The savoury spread went very well with the sourdough toast. The marcel salad is another surprisingly winner, love the cornichons which help to bring out the bursting flavour of the dish.

Very nice food and friendly staff, we were given information about the wine and food we were having. They checked on us during the dinner to make sure everythign was alright. Will definitely come back

Good service, great food. However our sharing plates weren’t completely clean, and we had trouble getting the attention of the staff for more utensils. Otherwise a fantastic place to chat and chill with friends/family.

I had dinner with two friends at Merci Marcel. We liked the cozy French ambiance. Foods were tasty and prices were reasonable. A Good place for casual dinner with friends.

Excellent service - attentive but not intrusive. Delicious food - highlights were the French dumplings, and the chocolate cake. Also the Espresso Martinis were amazing. A really lovely evening out.

We have always enjoy the food, service and ambience at Merci Marcel.. the spread on breakfast, brunch and dinner menu are great, will definately be back again.. 😊

The atmosphere and vibe were great. Food very nice also. The only downside was the super cold air conditioning that was exactly aimed at where we were sitting - both me and my husband caught a cold..

Overall experience was good except that the waiters or waitress kept dropping by the table every 15min or so to ask any new orders even though we had ordered alot and just finished the meal, ordered additional coffee and dessert and was catching up with my friends.

Staff were friendly and attentive. They would regularly check back to ensure everything is fine. Would really love to go back in the day to see the place better :)

The food is nice although the portion size is small. Food was served pretty fast as well. The ambience is good. Nice place to chill out.

Food was great but service leaves much to be desired. Could improve on serving time and staff training to be more attentive to customers' needs instead of chatting among themselves.

This was my 2nd time at MERCI MARCEL Very nice experience : fresh food and friendly service. The place is beautiful. Maybe the portions could be a little bit more generous.

I actually received wrong order from waitress. I stated that i am going to have seafood main dish so I need white wine. End up it serve as red wine. I actually paying extra for red wine. But since it serve, I think I didn’t want it as waste so I drank it. Kind of bad experience eating with seafood. Gilled chicken and pork tenderloin were not impressed. The red snapper was very good. It just tgt I had bad experience pairing with red wine. Good and cozy place. Mostly the staff there are nice.

Great menu, lovely setting and brilliant ambience. It’s a shame the maître d had such an unwelcoming manner. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Very helpful staff members who are knowledgable about their products. Very lively and relaxing ambience. Good food especially the cheese platter. Staff member is always in the lookout for customer’s needs.

Great food, nice Ambiente and good service. Had a great time paired with tasty wines and affordable bottle of champagne. Overall the dinner was really very good.

Delicious food, and gorgeous desserts. The Angus beef was great value, and was done very well considering the cut. Must have the croissants ~ they taste as incredible as they smell...

Nice ambience, good food. We had a nice bottle of wine for a good price. Overall we had a nice evening. The crab rillete was good.

Food and service was good at this cozy restaurant with a little setback on the poor air conditioning. It really got pretty hot nearing the end of our dinner which cause some discomfort.

Great food and great ambience.. the seatings at the garden patio area is very beautiful but it is too hot in the afternoon..it is air conditioned, but it’s not helping

Staff should have a little more situational awareness - we wanted to place our order but two signaled to us to wait as they went to attend to a party of two looking for a table. Food was flavorful but would have been lovelier if pizza was available on that day we visited.

Very nice moment in this charming restaurant. The food is just really amazing and the wine is good for the price. The table was a little bit tiny but otherwise everything was perfect

place was bustling and lively for a regular week night. the entire team was attentive without being intrusive. food was tasty but slightly heavy on the cream. will return.

Food was excellent! Wait staff are really friendly and I think Marcel (or at least a French person who looks charming enough and doesn’t wear a uniform) comes out to serve food to customers too!

Both food and coffee were good. Service was prompt and attentive. Wait staff was apologetic about item which was not available but could be better if a note was posted on the menu to avoid wasting time.

Good food accompanied by great service and ambience. Tried the salads, angus beef, paoched eggs which were tasty. We will definitely return again for more.

Amazing ambience and food! Not your typical run of the mill cafes with mediocre food. For afternoon tea we had crab gratin, fries and passion fruit creme brulee, all of which taste as good as they sounded on the menu. Will revisit for lunch/dinner some day.

Ambiance is great, super cozy and homey! Staff is very outgoing and friendly. Food portion was just nice! Ceviche of Red Snapper is a must try, very refreshing dish!

Love the food and ambience at Merci Marcel! Great service there. Would drop by again soon! Ps. Would be better if there's expansion of dinner menu.

Great atmosphere with good food and lovely drink selection. Went there with a friend and sat on the patio for lunch, would highly recommend it!

Great atmosphere and staff very friendly. Food is good but I was expected more tasty/qualitative food. I find it a bit pricey for the quality.

Nice quaint restaurant in Tiong Bahru. Ordered the Marinated crab rillette which was a refreshing change from the usual duck rillette. The only downside was that the sourdough bread that came with it was way too hard. Ravioles de Royan is a must try for cheese lovers. It's creamy and yet not too heavy. I really enjoyed this dish. The highly recommended angus beef by fellow diners were unfortunately just a 7/10 for me. It was a little too lean and not juicy enough. But it was well cooked and the sauce didn't overwhelm. Lastly, ordered the strawberry soup for dessert and it was exactly as how you would imagine it to be - a bowl of strawberry juice/puree. Would come back to try their cheeseboards and brunch menu.

Food wasn’t great , service was so so .. their rattan was abt to give way hence we informed the server to exchange with one next to us , although he did help but we could see he was relectuant .

We had a wonderful time at Merci Mercel with super attentive staff helping us with recommendations. The crab rilettes were fantastic and the cheese platter to end off the meal is a must!

I think the ambience was great. The wait staff were friendly and pretty attentive. Food was normal. Crab villettea was great! Grilled chicken was nothing out of the extraordinary

Utterly enjoyed my time here. Recommend the 300g Angus beef. A good accessible wine list, ambiance good for date nights and girls night out. For detailed review visit https://afoodielibrarian.com/review-merci-marcel/

Good service - Staff were friendly and respond quickly. Food was acceptable, but just a little salty (e.g. bacon and pasta). Truffle fries was good.

Food was great but the seating area at the back was under the sun during mid day due to the open concept despite being indoors. Hence it got really hot as the aircon wasn’t strong enough.

Great food & atmosphere! This is my 2nd Visit for breakfast & im loving it. The croissants & scrambled eggs are amazing. Definitely a good place to hang out with friends.

The food was amazing, in particular the ceviche and the raviole. Portions are small - think tapas size - perfect for sharing. The restaurant interior is very instagrammable. Attentive service, casual vibe. Highly recommended for gathering with friends.

Had a team lunch at Merci Marcel. The service is attentive and great. The food is good. I especially love the ambience and interior decor!

We had a lovely evening. Great ambience, the restaurant owner/manager very attentive. Food excellent and good wines - we will definitely be back. Thanks for a very nice evening

Food, ambience and service were impeccable. Just that I was given a table near the end which was pretty stuffy and hot. I would come again soon.

Lovely ambiance and crab rillettes (but served with insufficient bread and then charged $10 for extra). Chips were the best I've had in Singapore, and the bottle of wine was well priced. Scallops came in a serving of 3 (large and juicy but a bit overpriced), they were beautifully cooked and served with cauliflower puree was rich and delicious. Chicken was beautifully plated but was overcooked and the jus overly salty. Dessert was delicious and is highly recommended. A nice night out but with hits and misses.

Lovely ambience and wonderful service! The menu isn't extensive, but you can tell that a lot goes into the food that's prepared. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to have great conversation in a cosy setting.

My friends and I had a wonderful dining experience and the food was delicious (7 dishes for 3 people). Absolutely loved the ravioles. The servers were very friendly and made good recommendations as well.

Experience: Forgot to consult me about the seats change before my arrival, I requested to sit round table at courtyard for pre-valentines dinner. After seated than they ask if I wanted to change to courtyard, giving reason that the area is warm due to afternoon heat. The reason I requested courtyard was because the seats are normal chairs as my girlfriend may be wearing skirt/dress. Main dining area seats are high seats facing the bar counter with square tables very close side by side. Good warm persian chic ambience at main dining area but is noisy when full house mainly due to close proximity of square tables. Food: Tarte flambee was not available that day (13th Feb 2018). There is a selection of wine to accompany the food. Ordered pork tenderloin, ceviche red snapper and crab rillettes, food was excellent. More notable was sweet flavourful tender pork tenderloin using caramelised onions, non-porky taste. Next is the toasted crispy sourdough (4 small half-palm sized pieces) that compliment well with smooth marinated crab rillettes. The rillettes has a slightly saltiness with the marinate, flavour of the meat is abit lacking. Lastly is the ceviche red snapper, sweet oniony tasting, the fish is chewy and in cube like shape. Price: Higher than average cafe pricing. About $50 per pax with non-alcoholic drinks. Thoughts / Suggestions: May return if time and opportunity arises, hope to try the tarte flambe and other offerings. Recommend diners to come at a non festive season or non-peak period. Recommend cafe provide free flow of bread for the rillettes for diners to mop it all up. Hope they will indicate food items that are not available during festive season on social media minimum a week earlier.

The restaurant has a lovely setting, great menu, perfect for a date night. Service was good and the manager was helpful in explaining the menu. Great atmosphere.

The food and atmosphere was perfect. Had a long relaxing night. Had great feel, great food , and great service. Really, the service is great !!

A very cosy place for a relax dinner! Food is wonderful and the price is reasonable. Service is great and there is a personal touch involved.
