The French Ladle is a new kid on the block in, stashed close to the heartlands of Singapore. This cozy diner serves up some pretty decent french cuisine. They do have specials that changes with what fresh selects the chef finds at the market and according to the crew at French Ladle the chef experiments and tries something different with each change of daily specials. They do not have a huge range of wine selection but having said that, they do make an effort to try and pair the wines that they have with the selection of dishes that they have.

Should you make a trip down to the restaurant, I would recommend you speak to the friendly crew and find out a bit on how the whole restaurant came about, the renovations and preparations behind it. It was rather interesting to hear from that aspect and the crew are really friendly and approachable to share that bit of their history with you.

Some of the main stays such as duck confit and chicken chasseur were decent i must say and i believe will get better as the restaurant matures. The fondant was freshly baked and served just right with a nice crisp top layer smelling of fresh bakery but oozes hot chocolate as you dig into it. They use semi-sweet chocolate for the fondant.

I must say they have opened in a time where we do see many other new restaurants springing up such as La Cantine by Bruno Menard popping up and so we may be spoiled for choice but hey i am not sure about you but I reminisce the times when Dempsey was a leafy quieter stretch... and this gives me the sort of a feeling the area. What can i say... i got a soft spot for such locations.

If you are looking for a nice, intimate and casual place out and grab a bite away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is actually quite a nice quiet district to grab dinner. I must say I was thoroughly looked after by the friendly crew and the ambiance was nice, casual homely. Thank you French Ladle!
