O Batignolles

I have tried a glass of white win.
First good price 12 $ but so disappointed but the test.
No flavor only alcohol ! Please don’t propose a wine like that in (apparently) French restaurant.
I don’t know if I can try the food?

Je n’ai testé pour l’instant les Batignolles uniquement en soirée en semaine, pour boire un coup.
Club street n’étant pas très populaire le mercredi soir, Les Batignolles était le bar de la rue le plus fréquenté ce soir la. C’est plutôt normal quand on sait qu’ils offrent une bouteille de champagne a chaque groupe de 4 filles ayant une table pour la Ladies Night.
L’ambiance peux être tout a fait décrite comme «bar a vins français «. La déco est française, le vin est français, (la fréquentation est française aussi !). Les gens sont attablés ou debout et discute tranquille. Bön niveau sonore de la musique (on peux s’entendre).
Le verre que j’ai gouté n’était pas a mon gout (pour 10dols) et était vraiment standard. Le service n’était pas forcement sympathique.
Néanmoins, la carte et le brunch ont l’air alléchant. A tester a l’occasion.

Weekend brunch is outstanding – all you can eat of the best croissants in town. Plus fantastic french toast and very nice eggs benedict (either with salmon or ham). Orange juice and coffee or tea. Setting is very pleasant with charming tables outside. The place is let down by their service however. It takes a long time to get any help. The servers were just standing around refusing to meet anyone’s eyes.

I sat there for about 5 minutes without any service. The only thing I could surmise was that it was a French joint and they could sense my Slovakian and Bavarian roots… Or perhaps my WVU loyalties… Hey, yes I am a beer hound but that doesn’t mean that I won’t touch the grape once and awhile.
Oh well as Bogie said, «this could be the start of a beautiful friendship,» but we will never know, mon ami, because you decoded to go Jerry Lewis in this poor West Virginia boy. Go Eeers!!!

A fantastic bar & café just off the club st parade that delivers French cuisine in a covered alleyway Al fresco indoor /​outdoor setting. Boutique beers, wonderful environment and friendly service …

A revamped brunch menu now includes a decadent Champagne and Croissants brunch (yes croissants) served only on weekends from 11am to 4pm. For $ 89, this includes free flow bubbly and croissants, along with coffee/​tea, freshly squeezed orange juice (we saw them bring in oranges), a choice of bread (4 option) and a choice of eggs (4 options). If you’re not up for that, there’s also the $ 29 brunch set which excludes the free flow champagne and croissants. Sandwiches and other brunch items are also available on the a la carte menu.
From the bread section, we had the blueberry pancakes and the bread basket. The pancakes were horrible and made us conclude that we should never order anything that isn’t French at a French place. They were hard and dry and despite soaking them in the maple-​ish syrup (i don’t think it’s real maple), it weren’t enough to moisten the dough. MEH. Should have gone for the Brioche with Nutella or French Toast.
That said, the bread basket was fabulous. The croissant and the chocolate pain are deliciously buttery. Layers and layers of thin crisp goodness that peels and crackles away to reveal the moist, chewy and savory center. No additional butter required though butter is always lovely on croissants. One of the better croissants around Singapore. No kidding. Now i understand why they would have a Champagne and Croissant brunch. It was impossible to stop at just 1!
The croissants are available for takeaway. If i didn’t remember wrongly, each small little baby costs $ 1.50. A little on the pricey side but they are too good to be missed. They certainly evoked deep wanderlust for France.
We had the Eggs Benedict and Eggs Pacifico, one with parma ham and the other with smoked salmon. I wasn’t wowed by the eggs, they were adequate but again nothing mind blowing. A richer hollandaise sauce would have made the difference. The muffins used were quite good however.
I would make a trip back to O Batignolles for their out-​of-​this-​world croissants but i’ll never do their brunch sets again. Pick from their selection of sandwiches instead. The croque monsieur from the next table looked rather fab and their salads sounds really good too.
Service was a little too shoddy for my liking.

A great place for lite fare and drinks. It’s a good addition to club street, has a great, sophisticated atmosphere and good service all around. I recommend this place highly. Consider going in the evening to avoid the heat of the street.

I decided to drag my posh foodie friend to give O Batignolles a try after reading about it online, and thanks to that, my friend has fallen in love with it instantly.
A charming al fresco bistro, the décor of O Batignolless is kept simple yet with plenty of charming French flair that you can almost pretend you’re having a meal in France. The food is simple, unpretentious and authentic. They’ve not made the dishes here to cater to local tastes, but kept it the way it is (which is really important). We had the cheese platter for starters and for fans of cheeses, you’ve got to try this. He had the Hanging tender of beef which he gave it full marks so the next time I’m back, I’m definitely going to try that.
There’s no air-​conditioning here, so those of you who are fearful of the heat, come in the evenings or you’ll have to dine soaked in sweat!
