French Fold Great World is Merci Marcel Group's take on French galettes and crêpes, tucked into Great World mall at 1 Kim Seng Promenade in the River Valley area. Billed as Singapore's favourite spot for French galettes and crêpes, the restaurant serves sweet or savory versions of the buckwheat galette and wheat crêpe, spanning breakfast right through to dinner.
Mornings here run on a dedicated French breakfast menu available daily from 8am to 11am, offering simple sweet and savory sets alongside a full menu of buckwheat galettes, wheat crêpes, bakery items and egg dishes. The galettes come loaded with combinations like ham and Comté cheese, sautéed mushrooms and chorizo, while the crêpes lean sweeter, finished with gelato from Birds of Paradise. The bakery and eggs section rounds things out with croissants, tartines, homemade granola, and more substantial plates like poached eggs with avocado and truffle scrambled eggs.
Set within Great World, the restaurant sits in a River Valley neighbourhood that blends lush greenery, chic residences and a cosmopolitan crowd, with easy access to Orchard, Robertson Quay and the CBD. It's easily reached by Great World MRT, several nearby bus stops, or the free shuttle bus running to Great World City from Chinatown, Queenstown and Newton MRT stations. Note that the restaurant operates as a cash-free zone, and all prices are subject to a 10% service charge and 9% GST.
Inside Great World mall on Kim Seng Promenade, French Fold Great World brings Merci Marcel Group's take on French galettes and crêpes to the River Valley neighbourhood. Billed as Singapore's favourite for the buckwheat galette and wheat crêpe, the restaurant runs from breakfast through to dinner, seven days a week, from 8am to 10pm.
Every day between 8am and 11am, French Fold serves a dedicated breakfast menu built around simplicity. The Sweet Morning Set pairs a croissant or pain au chocolat with any coffee for $9, while the Savory Morning Set steps things up with Galette No.02 — egg sunny side up, Comté cheese and Espelette pepper — plus a coffee, for $15. It's an easy way to try the kitchen's galette work without committing to a full meal.
The core menu splits cleanly into two: 100% buckwheat galettes and 100% wheat crêpes. The galettes range from a simple No.01 French Butter, available salted, with black pepper, lemon, or Espelette pepper, up through combinations like No.03 Ham & Comté, No.06 Egg, Mushroom & Comté, and the fully loaded No.07 with egg, ham, mushrooms and Comté together. There's also a vegetable-forward No.09 Ratatouille with tomato chutney, and a heartier No.00 with sausage, pork pancetta, egg, red beans and tomato.
On the sweet side, the crêpes range from a classic No.21 Brown Sugar through jam, Manuka honey, Valrhona chocolate and homemade salted caramel and hazelnut spread. A few crêpes are finished with gelato from Birds of Paradise — No.27 pairs raspberry jam and fresh berries with strawberry basil gelato, while No.28 combines Manuka honey and roasted buckwheat seeds with a Hojicha sea-salt gelato. Diners can also add an extra scoop of gelato or sorbet to any dish.
Beyond the galettes and crêpes, the Bakery and Eggs section covers croissants, pains au chocolat, and tartines, along with a Bakery Assortment for Sharing that brings together croissants, pains au chocolat, sourdough and baguette with butter and jam — a good option for a table splitting breakfast. For something more substantial, there's Poached Eggs with avocado, pomegranate and portobello mushroom, Scrambled Eggs with truffle paste and aged Parmesan, and Benedict Eggs served with Hollandaise sauce over a buckwheat galette base instead of the usual English muffin.
Great World sits in the heart of River Valley, a neighbourhood that mixes lush greenery, chic residences and a cosmopolitan crowd, offering weekend brunches, boutique shopping and riverside strolls within easy reach. The mall connects directly to Great World MRT, with several nearby bus stops, and a free shuttle bus runs to Great World City from Chinatown, Queenstown and Newton MRT stations, making it a simple stop whether you're coming from the CBD, Orchard or Robertson Quay.
French Fold Great World operates as a cash-free zone, so be ready to pay by card or digital payment, and note that all prices are subject to a 10% service charge and 9% GST. Tables can be booked ahead through the restaurant's online reservation system, which is worth doing given the mall's steady weekend brunch crowd.
