Merci Marcel

French bistro-cafe with breakfast, brunch and stylish CBD locations.

Merci Marcel

Merci Marcel is a French wine bistro and cafe group with locations including Club Street, Tiong Bahru, Orchard, Robertson Quay and East Coast. The Club Street outlet opens from 8am and lists breakfast, daytime, afternoon, dinner and brunch menus, making it practical for early meals through long lunches. The brand's appeal is the combination of French-leaning food, wine, design-led interiors and accessible central locations. It suits diners who want brunch to feel a little more dressed-up than a standard cafe without becoming a formal restaurant meal.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Merci Marcel is strong for brunches that turn into longer conversations. The rooms are stylish, the food leans French without being stiff, and the Club Street and Tiong Bahru addresses make it useful for both CBD diners and cafe-hoppers. It is especially good when someone in the group wants wine, cheese or bistro plates after breakfast hours. The trade-off is that it can feel more scene-led than food-obsessive, but the overall experience is reliably appealing.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

It brings a distinctive French bistro-cafe angle to Singapore brunch, with multiple respected outlets, early opening hours and menus that bridge breakfast and leisurely daytime dining.
