They are known for their desserts, and that didnt turn me down. Having a sweet tooth, this certainly satisfied every bit of sugary craving i had. It was only sad that i had to share as i was rather full from the main meal. But there chocolate crepes are seriously good! Love the drizzled chocolate and the cream on the crepe. Made up for my sad day The savory pancakes were pretty good as well. But i thought they were rather bland, actually. Would preferred to have normal pancakes with syrup poured

For a Saturday brunch to be perfect, you need a great place that is quiet, has great ambience and most importantly excellent food. Antoinette, as we discovered, checked all boxes. Many people have been raving how great Wild Honey is. Make no mistake, it is indeed a great place to have brunch and watch the lazy afternoon pass but I believe Antoinette is really giving Wild Honey a run for her money.
It gives you a really classic feel when you step foot into the cafe. Exquisitely decorated, it feels as though they are preparing for the arrival Marc-Antoinette, the last queen of France. The chairs are covered with royal blue cushions that are so comfortable that they wrapped around your body once you sank into them. The marbled tables were spacious enough to accommodate lots of food! Talk about pampering yourself.

Classic Eggs Florentine ($15.50) was a beauty. Each poached egg nestled on top of a thick slice of toasted brioche. Tucked underneath the egg were thin slices of serrano ham and wilted spinach. The egg was very well done and together with the Hollandaise sauce, came with this unique flavour that till now we still could not decipher which ingredient was responsible for it! But trust me, it was really good. Special praise has to be reserved for their toasted brioche which had this exquisite taste and aroma.

I thought Egg with Smoked Duck Breast ($18.00) was unique for breakfast so I decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed. The smoked duck was rather thick which ensured maximum joy when your teeth are at work. Very flavourful. The scrambled eggs had a milky texture and taste which blended together very well. While not as thick as the brioche toast, the home made Pain de Mie toast was just as good. Very aromatic and tasty.

It is really a must to come to this place. We highly recommend it. Prices are not exorbitant, it is your usual brunch fare kind of pricing. One complaint that we have is that their beverage was somewhat OK. My hot chocolate was really thick and chocolatey that I swear I could make another 3 cups with it. That aside, Antoinette is truly a haven of a place.

They do not take reservations and the queue could be quite long at times. So be prepared to wait!

C wanted to try Antoinette where she said that the dessert is very nice and recommend by ladyironchef
We went there about 9 plus but sadly was told to order in 5 mins cause it's last order? We were still thinking its quite early but perhaps its a sunday?
Anyway the ambiance is really nice, a very classy french feel!
C wanted to ordered the Nougatine crepe which we decide to share among us 3! But its sort of a long wait but definitely worth it! The ice cream is very nice with peanuts in it for the crunch! The crepe also has a few thin layers of this crispy biscuit? Which is super nice and crispy! The crepe was so so as its nutella in it which we could barely taste as its a thin layer?
But overall its still recommend to try this and the price is ok at $16.

located at meritius mandarin.
Upon arrival, I saw many empty seats and proceeded in only to be greeted by the staff saying that it was closed and would only be able to do take away. I was sure it closes at 11pm on Friday because I had visited the website before heading down. While paying up for my take away, I decided to casually ask the staff what is their opening hours, and he said the correct opening hours which was until 11pm. Sensing that he said something wrong, he immediately tried to correct himself by saying Saturdays are the only days they are open till 11pm. It was rather disappointing because I didn't mind just spending an hour or less there just to finish up the cakes. If I was there maybe half an hour before closing, I could understand why they didn’t allow us to dine in. But it was an hour. Did the staff do so because they wanted to close on time? I have read reviews about the poorer service at this outlet and I didn't expect to experience it first hand on my first visit.

2nd time to Antoinette so decided to go to this newly opened store at Mandarin Gallery.

Restaurant was really well finished with similar concept to the one Penhas Road.

But once step in the seats area, i almost fainted. the strong oily smell is so overwhelming, guess they do not have a good ventilation in their kitchen, that's why the oily smell slips out from the kitchen area.

so what if they have nice dining table and decoration, but the air ventilation is bad and the air con is too cold.

nevertheless ordered;

Chocolate Marshmallow Meringue (Very sweet, just like you are eating air with sugar haha... serving is quite big and you get sick of it after a few bites so advice to try it only if you are there with a group of friends)

Mont Blanc (Nice, creamy chestnuts on the top)

Violette (Love the jam taste, but the cream part on the top is a little too hard)

guess after the whole experience here at Mandarin Gallery, i will still prefer the outlet at Penhas Road

They say the lower the capacity of a restaurant, the more luxurious it is. Which is most generally true. Antoniette, though it looks puny and petty in appearance, this French restaurant sure does the opposite of the description by taking us with a a bang. Having already heard so much about it before finally getting my hands mouth on it, there couldn’t possibly be any parts of it that could have disappointed. Even with the ridiculous queue and waiting time, we were persistent on getting in. Mind you, we were already the first in line with the three of us, but most seats are catered for twos, so we waited for three-quarter of an hour. When we were eventually ushered to our seats, I understood why people refused to give up their comfortable and home-y seats.

Even though the menu was limited, we took our time to browse through it and get soaked in the moment – like a princess does on most occasions. Oh, just kidding.

Baguette :: The presentation was enough to fill my satisfaction. I mean, just look at those little jars of chocolate and butter that you just want to take it as yours. It makes eating some mundane pastries more enjoyable. The baguette itself, though was forgettable – nothing bad, nothing good.

Iced Chocolate ($7.50++) :: This has to be the best Iced Chocolate I’ve ever tasted. It’s thick(er than blood – Advanced Happy Halloween!), so flavorful, yet not hurting to the throat, it’s like the best combination for a drink. No one should be giving this a miss; At least I know I wouldn’t, the next time I’m there.

Marinara ($24++) :: I must say I’ve never been a fan of tomato-based pasta (or anything in general). But this that I’ve tried, didn’t in any way give me the icky tomato feeling. Topped with some of my favorite seafood – mussels, scallops, prawns and squids, it’s an ‘ok’ even for non-tomato-lovers. Heck if you’re a tomato-based pasta lover, I doubt there’d be any issue with this.

Wild Mushroom Risotto ($24++) :: Coincidentally too, I’ve never been a fan of rice-based main courses (like Risotto / Paella). But once again, Antoinette proved me wrong. I actually find it quite appealing and appetizing, and it kind of gave me a turn – I recently had a Risotto as main dish myself. It really isn’t -that- powerful, but the point is, I guess it’s a good bet if you usually don’t eat them but would like to give it a try.

Boeuf Bourguignon ($32++) :: Braised beef brisket, in Burgundy style red wine. So no, this has no requirements for stating of the degree of rarity you’d like for it to be cooked. Even though a relatively small portion, it is with great pleasure throughout the process of completing the course. The meat is tender and soft, contrary to popular belief that beef meat is tough. Because the brisket muscles holds some 60% of the body weight, the lot of connective tissue requires perfect cooking to tenderize them, thus I must say, good job on it!

Macarons ($2.50++) :: Yes, guilty as charged. I wasn’t here for the main courses – I was attracted by their colorful and vibrant display of macarons. True that they are pricier than many other places, but their quality sure is directly proportionate too. After so long, finally Bakerzin and Jewels Artisan Chocolate have met its match.

A definite full 4-star (✰✰✰✰) for me. Good food. Good atmosphere. Good service too, for me, even with reviews stating otherwise. No qualms.

—> Note #1: Outlet here at Mandarin Gallery doesn’t take reservation, but the one at Lavender does. They have an outlet at Scarlet Hotel opening soon. I must say, what more appropriate location.

—> Note #2: Really, don’t ever go in a large group. If possible, stick to 2 especially when heading down to Mandarin Gallery’s outlet.

Antoinette located at Orchard Mandarin Gallery is a great place for desserts and brunch. The prices are reasonable, pancakes and French toast costs around $10+. The mains are slightly more expensive at $20+. I ordered the chocolate sliced cake and macaroons. The restaurant is beautiful, the decor is very english and classy. It makes a great place for dates and catch up with friends and family.

I started my meal with their signature earl grey tea. It was definitely warmed me inside. I like the fact that it had a very light flavour so that the taste would not compete with the other courses which started with the Salad Antoinette. It was a very light dish and it tasted very fresh!

. The egg was very soft and creamy and it was complemented very well with the other ingredients on the side. Yum! I would recommend this dish to first time-diners of Antoinette.

As for desserts, they have so many choices it's so hard to pick! Everything just seemed so appetising. I just ordered something I haven't tried before--Saint Honore L'amour . I believe the inspiration for this pastry was all red fruits as evident in its light pink colour. The cream wasn't so sweet, which was how I liked it to be. It tasted very much like flowers.. but was yummy!
