Le Saint Julien Description:
Owner-executive chef Julien Bompard's classic French cuisine draws diners to Le Saint Julien, as does its romantic ambience. Housed in the historic Fullerton Waterboat House on the banks of the Singapore River, this is one of a few restaurants blessed with a picture-perfect view of the Singapore River. Its dining room is bathed in a Mediterranean-inspired palette of yellow and crimson, with starched table linens and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. For starters, the heady lobster bisque stands out with its full-bodied broth served with garlic aïoli, croutons, Gruyère and morsels of scallops. Not in the mood for crustaceans? Go with the pan-fried foie gras instead, served in a pool of grape and Champagne reduced sauce with smoked duck breast on the side. For main courses, you can't go wrong with the Alsace extra-crispy duck confit, one of the best we've tried in Singapore; the confit is pan-fried until golden brown. Wine connoisseurs will appreciate the 2,500 labels (mostly French) available; the sommelier, too, impresses with his animated descriptions. Do not leave without experiencing the crêpes Suzette flambéed tableside; Le Saint Julien is one of the few venues in Singapore with this theatrical dessert offering.
