Had such a lovely dinner experience — great food, good ambience, and a team that truly made us feel welcome. Special thanks to Nicole for her attentive service, thoughtful recommendations, patience and genuine warmth throughout the evening. Her suggestions were fantastic and that made the dinner experience wonderful.

Definitely a place I would return to again for both the food and the wonderful hospitality!

Merci Marcel at East Coast offered a very enjoyable lunch experience with subtle fusion French cuisine that felt both clean and satisfying. I had the Angus beef rib eye served with baked fries and rocket, with a side of mushroom sauce. The beef was tender and the fries were flavourful. The minimal sauce allowed the natural taste of the ingredients to shine, similar to the classic French steak and fries style where the quality of the meat is the focus.

For dessert I had Marcel’s croissant waffle, known as a croffle, drizzled with banana sauce and topped with chunks of sweet banana and vanilla ice cream. The dessert was light, refreshing and paired beautifully with the lunch since the main course was not heavy.

The restaurant was crowded during New Year’s Day lunch without a reservation, which speaks to its popularity. The waiting staff were pleasant and helpful, and I enjoyed my window table facing people walking past on East Coast Road. I also appreciated that ice water was served free of charge, which is not always the case at other places.

Overall I very much liked the food and service here and would give a four star rating. I look forward to visiting again and hope to be surprised by something that earns the final star. I have attached my receipt to show the total cost paid for this meal.
