With its inky wood interior, rustic stone walls, location on bustling Telok Ayer Street, and namesake emblazoned on the back vaulting, Napoleon Food & Wine Bar certainly lives up to the impression of the cool French wine bar you'd think it is. Then you catch flashes of the very unique.

The visit is streamlined with smart touches of tech - like the long row of enomatic machines that, like adult soda fountains, welcome guests to taste a selection of their 28 wines before committing to a half-glass, glass, or bottle.

The wines and food follow through with Napoleon's concept of an exceptional and easy wine experience. With a varied selection of hand-picked, reasonably-priced French labels categorized by taste, we were able to pick our top choices - and were happy to taste a few along the way - before settling on that perfect glass.

The small plates menu is intelligently created to pair well with all of their wines and are also meant for sharing, making the ordering process lively and involved. The menu offers a range of salads, platters and European and Asian-influenced mains, along with scrumptious desserts that most certainly call for adding a sweet wine to your iPad order!

Napoleon explores the rich culinary history and fabulous offerings of France. The Chef boasts an exquisite menu of traditional French brasserie dishes with a modern twist, focused on low temperature cooking. (Jan 2020)

"But the range of beverages also extends beyond wines to include beers, cocktails, whiskies and the like. Meals are also available and well-presented mains at around $20 represent good value, complemented by salads and a good variety of ham/cheese platters." -Asia Tatler Dining
