Craving French fare? L’Ang\u00e9lus promises to whisk you away to a bistro in Paris.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A shophouse in Chinatown may seem an unlikely location for a French restaurant, but step inside L’Ang\u00e9lus and you will be transported to a setting reminiscent of a charming bistro in the City of Lights.<\/p>\n

Beautifully crafted artefacts and vintage posters endow the restaurant with a traditional feel, one that has not changed since it was first set up in 1998. L’Ang\u00e9lus has the distinction of being Singapore\u2019s oldest single-location traditional French restaurant. That it has stood the test of time is noteworthy, considering the fast turnovers in Singapore\u2019s volatile food-and-beverage scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One can put this down to its reputation for consistently producing superb fare. L’Ang\u00e9lus upholds French gastronomy by offering classical French cooking. All the ingredients \u2014 be they seafood, fresh gourmet meat, farmed poultry or fruit and vegetables \u2014 are meticulously sourced to ensure a high degree of freshness. In fact, many of these are air-flown from Rungis, a suburb in the south of Paris. Rungis is best known for March\u00e9 d’Int\u00e9r\u00eat National de Rungis<\/em>, purported to be the largest wholesale food market in the world.<\/p>\n

The kitchen at L’Ang\u00e9lus is helmed by Chef Ben, who \u2014 unsurprisingly \u2014 specialises in French cuisine, and describes his cooking style as \u201cclassic, inventive and respectful\u201d. He reveals, \u201cI enjoy creating new dishes while maintaining the standards by using traditional French cooking methods according to my interpretations.\u201d This has given rise to a menu that is peppered with tantalising twists and surprises.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His know-how comes in useful when whipping up classic dishes such as\u00a0Bar\u00a0<\/em>Fa\u00e7on\u00a0<\/em>Bouillabaisse \u00a0<\/em>(pan-fried sea bass, clams, celeriac, baby spinach and bouillabaisse sauce). \u201cThe secret is in getting the bouillabaisse sauce right; it is a tedious and labour-intensive process, from the marination to the cooking,\u201d he discloses. \u201cBy incorporating just the right amount of saffron emulsion, it will ensure that the dish is not too fishy and, at the same time, has the fragrance of saffron, which will whet the appetite.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

L’Ang\u00e9lus has been awarded with Restauranteurs de France<\/em>, a testimony toits authenticity, quality of food, and professional service. Situated in the Central Business District, it is also an ideal venue for a business lunch. Its monthly set menus \u2014 at $28++ for lunch, and $68 for a three-course set menu available all day \u2014 offer value for money for an array of delectable delights. The food is complemented by an exhaustive wine list made up predominantly of French wines from France\u2019s different wine-growing regions. If you enjoy older vintages, you\u2019ll have a good time unearthing a number of gems from their cellar.<\/p>\n

The bar is L’Ang\u00e9lus\u2019 best-kept secret. Besides wine, they also serve a large range of whiskies, vodkas, gins, liqueurs, cocktails, rums and Armagnacs. With personal attention from General Manager Chris and soft jazz in the background, it is a great spot to unwind with an aperitif or a digestif.<\/p>\n
