La Cantine

A picturesque French bistro near Monkey Forest, La Cantine dreams of croissant-filled mornings, lunches paired with a cheeky glass of red and suppers with enough cheese to sink a small ship.

It's pretty as a picture, enchanting all diners with its powder pink exterior complete with stylish wicker chairs, elegantly tiled patio and cutesy fairy lights that wouldn't be out of place on the Champs-Elysées. Inside, it's pretty and cosmopolitan with relaxed seating, a boulangerie full of goodies and a Pool table that never fails to stir up that French camaraderie.

And now for a taste of France where the appetisers are just as important as the mains. Serving up small plates of rich decadence, treat the tastebuds to creamy baked eggs with homemade foie gras, a sliver of creamy pâté or even a charcuterie board with the Chef's finest selection of cold cuts and artisan cheeses.

For mains, French signatures come out in full force with a confit duck dish with seasonal greens, vegetable noodles with traditional ratatouille and market fish served with a white wine sauce. Another calling card is the famous croque monsieur with irresistible melted Emmental, the mahi-mahi and tartine of the day which revolves with the seasons. Of course, no one does dessert like the French, so approach your evening with pure abandon, leave the calorie counter behind and dive into a crème brulée, chocolate fudge cake or an immense Café Gourmand; perfect for those who can't decide. And with that, bon appetit!
