Sundays ☀️

Croque Madame; the perfect Sunday sandwich with free-flow of mimosa. ($15/2 hours)

Tell me who doesn’t like orange bubbly, to fight off a sweltering Sunday!

Had to wait 20 minutes for the molten chocolate cake so you know this better be good. The 70% valrhona guanaja molten chocolate was so rich, flowing out with a thick yet smooth consistency. No doubt it’s sweet, but nothing too unbearable if you neutralise it with the crumbs and vanilla ice cream on the side, as well as with a glass of wine. And definitely share this decadent dessert if you’re not too much of a sweet tooth.

Rate:🌟🌟🌟

(Clockwise from top left) O'Conner Striploin 250g $36, Duck Leg Confit $28, Carbonara $20, Cauliflower Steak $18

Always love the chill vibes here, and the food while slightly expensive are consistently great. The dish that was the highlight was strangely enough the cauliflower steak, it was sooo good - the grilled cauliflower alone was so flavourful, but paired with the romesco sauce took it to a whole other level. We loved the other dishes as well.

The choux was crispy for a while only, vanilla ice cream was slightly chewy tho, is it gelato? Simple stuff but it's sinful magic when put tgt, so basic but so irresistible

Share amongst 3 so everyone can dig in immediately, take your time and you're getting soggy profiteroles

Also, ask for extra utensils. Idk why a French restaurant doesn't change utensils before dessert, esp since there's service charge.

Prawn was a tad less cooked than normal, so the texture was about different. This wasn't aglio olio at all, it's kind of soupy w spinach and bacon. Not super impressive

Saw another table's carbonara looks very far from being authentic too

Honestly for 34 and this portion, the walnuts and dried apricots were quite underwhelming.

Clockwise from top right(furthest):
Reblochon: quite soft, rather strong sharpness when u just put it in your mouth but easy to eat afterwards. Slightly salty too
Tomme de Savoie: mild, creamy texture, quite soft, doesn't taste like much
Saint nectaire: it really does have a mild nectarine sweetness and aroma, otherwise like brie without the savoury edge
sainte-maure de touraine: this is damn goaty. Can't taste anything. Smells like goat's piss. Better not to order unless u really experienced w goat cheese
Saint Félicien: as you can tell it's molten even at room temperature. It's as soft and buttery as it looks, extremely salty tho

Overall good to have tried once, order if you are curious about these french cheeses that are not available for retail anywhere else. Unless you're very experienced it's probably not something you're gonna enjoy. If you're new to these and just gonna order the safe options like brie or sth then you're wasting your money, you can get much more for much cheaper if you buy at cheese shop or fairprice finest

Ginett is known for its great deals including the 2h free flow $15 mimosa weekend brunch deal with every main meal ordered, and many other deals that vary each day of the week. As girls who love their mimosas, 🥂 we’ve been to Ginett quite a few times and think the quality of their food is generally enjoyable (our overall rating from our visits is 7/10). However, our experience at Ginett this time round was quite shockingly unfortunate… 🫣

Wild Mushroom Truffle Risotto ($21++) 🍄 6.5/10
Arborio rice, truffle essence, mascarpone cream, grilled seasonal vegetables

The earthy taste of the mushrooms shined through in this dish and it wasn’t jelat but quite light actually despite the cream component! However, our risotto was practically swimming in a pool of tasteless oil or smt it was kinda sus ngl… but regardless it still tasted alright so do what you want with this info (we saw other pics of this dish and it didn’t have this puddle of oil so we probably went on a bad day) 🥴

Angus Beef Rib Eye 250g ($42++) 3.5/10
The ribeye was complemented nicely with a rich béarnaise sauce and a choice of sides where we picked the creamed spinach which was delish. Cutting into the steak that we ordered medium rare, we were super disappointed to find greyish dried-out meat instead of the pink juicy appearance we were expecting… We decided to inform the staff of the mistake and the steak was sent back to be replaced.

BUT the same steak was returned to us, chopped up into pieces and stacked on top of one another, cold. ☠️ Luckily, one of the attentive service staff salvaged this experience for us. Noticing that something was wrong, she apologised for returning the same steak to us due to a miscommunication with the kitchen and offered to bring us a new steak. However, as we were full we declined the offer and she waived the charges of our steak instead.

Choux was alright but at this price you expect perfect hazelnut cream and that's exactly what you get. Very balanced in every aspect and a joy. There's almost bits of crunch from the shaved nuts.

Perhaps the only problem was the French baguette that's very difficult to bite through. I had a day of lousy bread lol. Vietnamese baguette is so much better usually

They stock many cheeses that seem very tasty and that I haven't seen elsewhere. Whats worse is that they're not for retail so we are definitely coming back for their cheeseboard

Absolutely delicious. Quintessential red wine braised beef, it's well stewed and full of umami flavours and minimal sweetness. Mushrooms were dope too and the beef cheeks were almost melt in your mouth as they should be. Maybe the best version I've had at this price point.

Only complaint is that the beef itself could be more gelatinous but the execution was perfect. Mash was great too

I'm a convert. This place is great

@ginettsingapore is a perfect spot to impress your half other with its ambience and the quality of food served. We had the Wild Mushroom Risotto and dare I say it is one of the best that I have had. The earthy tone of the mushrooms was complemented well by the savouriness of the cheese and the colourful pops of vegetables helped to clean your palate for the next bite. Amazing.

We also had the Croque Monsieur which could get a little bit jelak. The portion size is huge and while the first few mouthfuls were great, it gets a bit one dimensional after a while, the fries were great though! Recommend that you share this if you are ordering it.

More salty than bolognese elsewhere however the tagliatelle is not bad

Requested for less salt and less oil as well as for the sauce to be separated however it was still way too salty. Even the fries were too salty.
The steak had a lot of tendons so it was quite bad.

Would have preferred if the risotto had been softer, quite cheesy and salty despite requesting for less salt

We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Ginett recently. Do make bookings in advance as walk ins tend to be disappointed even on weekdays.

We ordered their Foie Gras Terrine, Salmon in creamy spinach sauce and their G cut charcuterie with 3 cheese (you can choose from their list of hard and soft cheeses) and 3 meat. The Mimolette was a bit too hard at edge. Takes a bit of effort to cut it. The Brie was very soft almost gooey but the Camembert was just nice, with a hint of sea salt.

Really value for money cause the restaurant threw in a puff pastry on a plate with Happy Birthday written in it and served in a bird cage! And the birthday person got a bottle of white wine (2016 Voignier Christophe Pichon worth $30)

Coming back real soon. Got to taste their wagyu which will hopefully not be sold out.

Managed to snag this deal of $17 Australian Angus sirloin thanks to Chope’s one for one voucher! We asked for it to be cooked to medium. I thought my steak was a little too chewy, but it was really flavourful, I could just eat it on its own! Tried it with the herb sauce that came along and it was really tasty too!

Probably the best risotto I’ve had 🥺 It’s just the right amount of cheesiness and the rice grains were cooked till they were soft! Been to a couple of places with risottos that tasted good but the rice grains were still hard. We waited about half an hour for our order to be served so the wait was really worth it! The asparagus and brussel sprouts were 😘🤌🏻 Downside was that the portion size is a bit small!

Oh yes if you like champagne, they have 2 hours free flow mimosa cocktails for $15 during brunch timings!

We ordered the La Joue de Beouf (Beef Cheek) and Le Confit de Canard (Duck Confit) for the main courses. The duck confit was above average, but the Beef Cheek was the star of the show. It was so tender that is practically melts in your mouth. My favourite part of dinner was the $6 per glass wines, the Merlot was not available so we tried the Syrah. The desert we tried was the Apple Croustillant that came with an ice cream scoop, the contrast of the warm pastry with the cold ice cream was a great way to end our dinner at Ginett. We enjoyed our time there and will be back to enjoy their other promotions!

3.75⭐ Bought the chope deal during the Chope birthday flash sale for 40% discount. There's 5 main choices to choose from and both of us unanimously choose Croque Monsieur as the other choices are all pasta. The portion is huge and I couldn't finish the fries.
