During a recent trip to Singapore, we came to this restaurant with some friends who stay in Singapore and I must say, the food and service were good. I decided to pick up the bill and was shocked at how expensive this place is! Totally over priced for the quality and service, although, the quality and service is of a... More

in one sentence: having the better french food without paying EURO/french frances. i think for less than $100, you get food that is comparable to Les Amis (about 80% quality at 20% price as other top french restaurants ~$400+++)

6 of us were there for dinner on a Saturday night. We made same day reservation and they accomodated us at 630pm so long as we were out by 8pm. The 4 course menu with 4 different choices of mains and 2 appetizers was simply the best French food we had in Singapore. It is not the elegant presentation you'd... More

Restaurant Nicolas is housed in a shophouse on Keong Saik road – an atmospheric up-and-coming former red light district in the outskirts of Chinatown. The restaurant feels like a mix between a fine dining establishment and a modern bistro. The menu centers around a 6 course tasting for SGD 98++ with the option of adding a 6 glass wine pairing...

Service at Nicolas was excellent with very attentive waiters and also the owner himself. This is a very small restaurant with only 5 tables. Nicolas has only one fixed menu but with a choice of nmain courses and we took rack of lamb, which was superb. All the menu items were small so even if the menu consisted of 7... More

I've been there with my wife for dinner. The main issue from my perspective is the price vs the food. The portions were so small... I'm going in France few times per year and this restaurant has nothing to do with The french food. I've choose this restaurant based on the ratings... big mistake.. I don't uderstand the people who... More

It was probably the best "new" restaurant I've tried in Singapore this year. Being local, we tend to stick to tried and tested places that we normally go to when we eat out (our favourite being Valentino's). Most of the "new" places end up disappointing - but not this time. At S$98++ for 4 starters + main + desert, the... More

This has to be my fave French restaurant in Singapore! Cosy and unpretentious, and the food is consistently good. Every dish is lovingly prepared with the greatest attention to detail and Chef Nicolas combines the right balance of ingredients. If you come here at lunchtime and if the restaurant is not busy the chef sometimes sends one or two small... More

We chose Nicolas for a special 11/11/11 dinner because it was rated #11 on Tripadvisor. Casually mentioned this to Nicolas via email and he offered to prepare a special 11 course dinner that was AMAZING for S$111. Each course was excellent...duck rillette, scallop, ravioli, veal, two desserts and more. He came to the table a couple of times. He also... More
