Saveur

Saveur is a French restaurant in Singapore that is known for their affordability as well as their divine meals. As of January 2015, the Saveur group has already opened 4 restaurants and all of them are always packed with lots of people, including the Saveur branch at Far East Plaza.On the night that my family and I visited the restaurant, we had to wait for approximately 1 hour before we could grab a table. I think that pretty much explains how crowded it was.1. Salmon (X’mas & New Year Special) (S$5.90++)Loveable crisp and just enough saltiness.2. Foie Gras (S$9.90++)Fine dining defined. Perfect tenderness combined with a slightly fruity flavor.3. Pasta (S$7.90++) (X’mas & New Year Special)The pasta was cooked well and the sauce was packed with big flavor.4. Duck Confit (S$12.90++)The duck confit was crispy on the outside but tender in the middle. As it can be a bit salty, it is better to eat it with the mashed potato to tone down the saltiness.5. Beef (S$24.90++)Artistic presentation. I love the texture of the beef. For the seasoning, it was okay but it seems something was missing.I’ve been hearing good things about their duck confit. To be honest, the entrées kind of overpowered the mains. Therefore, the mains didn’t impress me much although they were enjoyable.With that affordable price and entertaining dishes, you should try to visit this restaurant if you want some exciting French meals.…Read More

Saveur recently introduced a special 3 course lunch menu on Mondays to Fridays from 1130am to 3pm at $22.90++. It is slightly cheaper than if you order them ala-carte. From a selection of entrees, mains and desserts, make your choice of one from each category.We had the Saveur's Pasta as the entree, duck confit as the main and the earl grey creme brulee for dessert. The Saveur's Pasta is my all time favourite, al dente angel hair pasta tossed with chilli oil and topped with sakura ebi. With its nice presentation, price and taste, I feel it well surpass pastas served in some other restaurants. It is just so tasty and addictive that I can never have enough of it. The duck confit is tender and fragrant, well marinated and flavourful, served with very yummy mash potato. These two dishes are my must haves whenever I am at Saveur. I have always wanted to try their other mains but eventually I would succumb to the Duck Confit. The earl grey creme brulee is as tantalising as it looks!If you are looking for french fare at affordable prices, this is definitely the place to be. Ambience wise, dont expect much, afterall this is a place for the masses. Im not sure why, but the place is very noisy, like a marketplace, even fast food restaurants arent so noisy. It makes one just want to leave immediately after finishing our food.…Read More
