French

We visited the French Fold outlet at Orchard on a Friday evening after making a reservation on Chope. Having booked a table for 2 at 630pm, we were allowed to dine till 8pm, as our table was booked for 8pm. The place was cozy and the waiters and waitresses were warm, checking on us and asking how we find the food from time to time.

For the galettes, we ordered No. 13 ($23) and No. 10 ($20). No. 13 came with impossible meat in tomato chutney, a sunny side up and some Parmesan cheese. As for No. 10, a generous serving of smoked haddock was stuffed between layers of the galette made with buckwheat flour. The smoked haddock pieces were coated with herbs and cream. Baby spinach was also served on top of the fish slices, while a slice of lemon was given to provide the dish with a touch of acidity. While the fish slices were fresh, I found the cream to be a bit heavy towards the end and had to scrape the excess cream off. We liked that the galette made using buckwheat flour was crispy at the edges and went well with the fillings. While it may seem small to some, the galettes were surprisingly filling. The price is pretty steep but we would highly recommend this place to who haven’t tried, as the galettes are really well executed and not commonly found elsewhere. Personally, I would probably opt for a less creamy item next time!
