L'Entrepot Bistrot: French riverside chic

Hey, Romeo, if it has been a while since you've taken your lovely lady on a sweet romantic date, get on the horn and make a reservation at L’Entrepot Bistrot, pronto. A quaint French eatery along the banks of the Singapore River, L'Entrepot is a cozy alternative to the crazed streets of Clarke Quay, and will make you and yours feel like you're in a small Parisian café.

Meaning 'warehouse' in French, the restaurant opened in May '09 and is decked with custom-made wood furniture and a wall-to-ceiling wine cellar showcasing its wine collection -- over 90 labels, half of which are from France. Thinking of bringing your own bottle? Just beware of the steep corkage fee -- $35 for wine, $45 for champagne -- and make sure it pairs well with their specialty French dishes like lobster bisque, roasted quail and pig trotters.
