  So red white blue

  So France DUO: So France so red, white and blue. So France has been earmarked as one of my favourite French bistros to head too. It’s always a pinkie-upturned classy affair at So France - gorgeous plating and presentations, generous portions and tasty French fare.We had salmon tartare, salmon eggs Benedict and mushroom chicken crepe. Crockery are all French flag matching and such a scream to look at. Staff sport red berets too for that carefree French je ne sais quo touch. There’s a bake section and French gourmet grocery next to the restaurant for extended French taste. We picked up our bottled gems and couldn’t cart the rest home. #eatstylishtravelstylish

  Unprofessional service, average tasting food and expensive wines

  We were group of 5 who came here for dinner
  Reservation was quick and simple online
  
  After that it just went downhill
  
  We asked if there were sharing platters or starters while waiting for 2 late comers
  
  The service lady insisted the set menu was the way to go - some meats as mains and it was $70 plus which didn’t make sense
  
  We just stuck with fries as there’s was nothing much available and no other recommendations from crew
  
  We asked for wine recommendations and that lady suggested I speak to their wine connoisseur - he came over and I asked for a white wine that was fruity and not too sweet
  
  His reply - all their wines are fruity and not sweet, with the visibly irritated look
  
  I asked if he could recommend a bottle then and he suggested the most expensive ones on the list at more than $130
  Seeing his can’t be bothered attitude with us I used the vivino app myself To choose
  
  That same guy I saw later dropped a basket of bread near us - and used his feet to kick the basket and bread to towards the bar counter.
  
  We were rather shocked at how food was treated at this place
  
  We did ask him the second time for service and he waved but never came back
  
  The other females who attended to us either forgot about our ask or were very vague in food recommendations
  
  We ordered beef, pork, chicken, duck dishes, chocolate brownie and profiteroles
  
  We also had a red and white wine.
  
  The experience was unpleasant

  So meh

  This cute little store has a nice range of French groceries and cheeses, but the cafe lets it down. The pastries are decent, but the coffee is average and they only fill them 3/4 at a premium price.

  Great brunch spot (that takes reservations too)!

  This Tuesday was my third time having brunch at So France, and each time has been a great experience. The food is consistently excellent, and I've enjoyed every dish I've tried here: the bacon, raclette cheese and caramelised onion crepe, duck confit hash and caramel apple french toast are all absolutely delicious; I'd struggle to pick a favourite. The crepe was perfectly cooked and the fillings both generous and so tasty, the duck hash was rich and savoury, and the duck confit moist and tender, and the french toast is crispy outside, soft and almost custardy inside, with a ton of light whipped cream on top of the slightly crunchy apple pieces, and they always happily allow me an extra side of their divine caramel sauce.
  
  The friends that have joined me these three times all also raved about their dishes, and even the tea is fantastic...I always have the same lychee one and it is so yummy I've looked in the shop to buy it after each visit, sadly it's a special blend just for the restaurant, but I order it every time. The service is always good, attentive and friendly, and I've never felt rushed or pressured to return a table, even the one time my friend and I stayed for nearly three hours on a Saturday!
  
  In fact, two of the reasons I keep returning are that they take reservations, even on weekends, and don't have ridiculously short dining time limits imposed on customers, which means we can actually enjoy our food and take the time to catch up and have a good visit as well. A great brunch spot, and one I plan to visit for dinner soon as well, to try that equally tempting menu. And it won't be my last visit!

  Good food, one of the few places we found a cassoulet

  The environment is good, attentive personnel. The food was good and we tried the traditional plates like escargot, joue de boeuf, duck with potato pure and the cassoulet. These were good and fulfilling however the seasoning was a bit salty, maybe expected for the plate. The plates vary from SGD 25-40. maybe a place for special occasions but it is worthwhile once in a while.
