About MERCI MARCEL Serangoon Gardens

French Fold Great World is a French galette and crêpe restaurant in the Great World mall precinct in Singapore, part of the Merci Marcel Group. Billed as Singapore's favourite French galettes and crêpes, the restaurant serves authentic French flavours from breakfast through to dinner, in both sweet and savoury forms.

The breakfast menu, served daily from 8am to 11am, centres on 100% buckwheat galettes and 100% wheat crêpes, alongside bakery items, egg dishes, and gelato from Birds of Paradise. Savoury galettes range from a simple French butter galette to more substantial combinations of ham, Comté cheese, sautéed mushrooms and eggs, while crêpes lean sweet with options like Valrhona chocolate, homemade salted caramel, and Manuka honey. The bakery and eggs section covers pastries, tartines, granola, and more elaborate egg dishes such as poached eggs with avocado and portobello mushroom, or Benedict eggs served over a buckwheat galette.

Located at 1 Kim Seng Promenade in the Great World precinct, French Fold sits in a River Valley neighbourhood known for its mix of residences, boutique shopping and riverside strolls, with easy access to Orchard, Robertson Quay and the CBD. The restaurant is one of several Merci Marcel Group venues in Singapore, alongside Merci Marcel locations at Club Street, East Coast, Orchard, Robertson Quay, Tiong Bahru and Serangoon Garden, and a French Fold location at Telok Ayer/Palais Renaissance.

French Fold Great World: French Galettes and Crêpes in the Heart of River Valley

Tucked into the Great World precinct, French Fold has built its Singapore reputation on one simple promise: proper French galettes and crêpes, done authentically, from breakfast through to dinner.

Buckwheat Galettes, Done Right

At the savoury end of the menu, French Fold's 100% buckwheat galettes range from a pared-back French Butter galette — with a choice of salted, black pepper, lemon or Espelette pepper butter — up to heartier combinations layering egg, ham, Comté cheese, sautéed mushrooms and chorizo. The No.00 galette goes further still, combining sausage, pork pancetta, egg, red beans and tomato into a substantial, full-flavoured plate, while a ratatouille galette with tomato chutney offers a vegetarian option built around a classic French vegetable stew.

Sweet Crêpes and Artisanal Gelato

On the sweet side, French Fold's 100% wheat crêpes run from simple brown sugar and French butter through to Valrhona 70% chocolate, homemade salted caramel, and a palm oil-free homemade hazelnut spread. Several crêpes are finished with gelato from Birds of Paradise — strawberry basil gelato alongside raspberry jam and fresh berries, or Hojicha sea-salt gelato with Manuka honey and roasted buckwheat seeds — and diners can add an extra scoop of Hojicha sea-salt, strawberry basil, or dark chocolate sorbet to any order.

A Proper French Bakery Spread

Beyond galettes and crêpes, French Fold runs a full bakery and egg menu. Croissants and pains au chocolat are available individually, or as part of a bakery assortment for sharing that includes two of each alongside sourdough bread, baguette, butter and jam. Egg dishes lean toward brunch classics with a French edge: poached eggs with avocado, pomegranate and portobello mushroom; scrambled eggs finished with truffle paste and aged Parmesan; and Benedict eggs served with organic crispy Bayonne ham and Hollandaise sauce — but plated over a buckwheat galette rather than a traditional English muffin.

Morning Sets for a Quick Start

For a simpler breakfast, French Fold offers two set options available daily from 8am to 11am: a Sweet Morning Set pairing a croissant or pain au chocolat with any coffee, and a Savory Morning Set built around the No.02 galette (egg, Comté cheese and Espelette pepper) with any coffee included.

A River Valley Neighbourhood Spot

French Fold Great World sits in the heart of River Valley, a neighbourhood the restaurant describes as capturing modern Singapore living — lush greenery, chic residences, and a cosmopolitan crowd, with easy access to weekend brunches, boutique shopping and riverside strolls. The location benefits from central connectivity too, with Great World MRT nearby, several bus routes stopping close by, and a free shuttle bus running to Great World City from Chinatown, Queenstown and Newton MRT stations.

Part of a Wider Group

French Fold Great World is one of several venues under the Merci Marcel Group umbrella in Singapore, which also runs Merci Marcel outlets at Club Street, East Coast, Orchard, Robertson Quay, Tiong Bahru and Serangoon Garden, plus a second French Fold location at Telok Ayer/Palais Renaissance and the Maison Marcel shop. All venues can be booked through a shared reservation system.
