French Delights At Merci Marcel In Tiong Bahru

Tiong Bahru is no stranger to cafes. An abundance of them already sitting pretty along the streets of the neighborhood district, attracting crowds on the daily. But a recent new opening that you certainly should take notice of is French cafe-restaurant Merci Marcel. Opening its doors next to the unmissable Tiong Bahru Bakery, this dining hybrid concept serves up delicious brunches in the day and doubles up as a tapas bar once the sun sets.

The inviting interior is only a teaser for the gastronomical experience here. Their vast menu options include the eye-catching Black Pepper Tuna (S$25) and Ceviche of Red Snapper (S$22) for heavy appetites. If you’re feeling for something lighter and would rather share with a group, then opt for the Tarte Flambee (S$24), a pizza-like dish topped with cured bacon, apples and rocket leaves; or the Merci Marcel’s Pork Tenderloin (S$24), a French-styled meat dish with a dash of local influence. Kids with a sweet tooth will particularly enjoy the dessert choice of Creme Brûlée with Passionfruit (S$9), with the vanilla custard perfectly complementing the restaurant’s savory dishes. For a slice of Parisian vibes and delicacies, Merci Marcel is where to be.
