A good French steakhouse lives or dies on the basics: a well-rested cut, a proper crust, and frites fried fresh and kept flowing. Regulars judge a kitchen by its medium rare — a rosy centre and clean sear there usually means the rest is safe. The frites matter more than they look: in this tradition they come free-flow, and a house that keeps them hot and refilled without asking cares. Happy hour is often where the value sits, so it pays to ask.
On one of Singapore's best-loved eating strips, Braseiro gives Joo Chiat a proper steak dinner — book ahead for weekends.
