L'Entrecôte Customs House

Made a reservation last wed night and specifically indicated outdoor seating, but was brought to a table inside. Not sure why there’s even an option to indicate preferences if they’re not checked. Starters and appetisers were okay, but the main issue was the steak. It was served cold. After I informed the waiter, they took the plate away without saying a word. The replacement steak was warmer, but again, no apology or acknowledgement. All in all, disappointing experience. Won’t be returning.

Enjoyed a delightful meal of steak and fries here. The gravy goes well with the steak and the salad provided a good balance to the heavy main course. Its french onion soup and crab cake (part of set lunch) were yummy too! Please leave some room for the dessert, otherwise you will regret it. Love the Paris Brest- a choux filled with rich and creamy praline cream. And the chocolate mousse is perfect for lovers of rich dark velvety chocolate mousse. Wonderful service from Uma, who single handedly managed the floor on 1 Aug during lunch, and it was quite a crowd then. Despite so, she maintained her smile. Do grab the promo of adding $10++ on top of the original $29.90++ for free flow steak and fries, I learnt that it is being extended till end of August and that really is quite a deal!

Service is excellent. Nice view of MBS & Singapore a river. Food is reasonably yummy albeit some misses & overall slightly too salty. The bistro is celebrating their 15th Anniversary, so their signature steak is going for just $29.90 (regular price $48.80). We had the Foie Gras (nicely seared); marrow beef tartare (interesting combo); crab cake (a bit salty but yummy). And of course the signature steak - the first piece they served was quite possibly the worst steak we have tried - totally rubbery, took herculean efforts just to slice it. I think it was the cut. Very veiny. We flagged to the manager and he very promptly & apologetically removed it and had it replaced. The replacement was a vast improvement - reasonably tender & went well with their special sauce (generous with their sauce & the manager kept asking if we needed more sauce...). The truffle fries were nicely crisp, could not stop finishing it up. Had the lava cake. It was not a regular cake that we expected, firmer more chewy texture - maybe French style? We did not enjoy it much but can see how someone else might really like it. Overall, very pleasant experience - and definitely would recommend our friends to give it a try themselves esp. during the promo period. Oh just to flag, tap water is not served but free flow still or sparkling water available at SGD3 per pax. & the bill doesn’t seem to include GST & service charge but there’s option to add tips when you pay.

Our second time coming for the steak here. Food is great, perfectly cooked meat with their signature sauce. Lovely seating outdoors, very good service, highly recommended

$39.90 for free flow steaks and fries. The steak is pretty tough, including the medium rare portions. Not really value for money even when you can eat a lot of steak. Nice view of Marina Bay Sands from this restaurant.

We were offered a great table with a view. The steak was good though I would prefer the sauce to be served separately. This was requested but not followed through. That said, the overall service was good and made up for this small issue. Overall, nice ambience and does remind us a little of the restaurants in Paris. After dinner, we had a nice walk down to watch the awesome fireworks!

We came to the restaurant on a weekday afternoon, which was quiet and relatively empty. The French styled steak was good and delicious. Especially love the steak, the sauce, and the additional white asparagus that we added on. They also have free flow fries as well which we did not opt for extras. The service was fast due to the low footfall on a weekday afternoon. The view here is good as well as it overlooks the MBS. Overall, we had a good lunch here and will consider coming back should we crave some French style steak.

By the waterfront of the Customs House, sits L’Entrecôte in view of MBS. Al fresco sitting was available but my wife and I sat by the windows inside. Very friendly, funny and knowledgeable staff. We started off with the escargots and we were told to dip the bread (I believe it was sourdough) with the sauce and my it tastes awesome. Ordered the trimmed steak (medium is quite medium-rare and medium rare will be pretty red as we were informed). We were told that the steak was around 190g, but it feels like at least 220g. My wife and I were pretty full by now and did not request for the extra fries and sauce. The steak was done to our liking; midway between medium and medium rare. Tender and a little fatty, and this is when the legendary sauce comes in (vinegar based I would presume) that helped to balance the very wholesome beefy sensation. The steak was smooth, the fries were crunchy and the fresh greens with walnut and balsamic dressing was flavorful. Yes we were very full, but didn’t stop there. Went on with the butter caramel lava cake and a slice of apple pie. The caramel was some good stuff there, with a slight tinge of bitterness. This is how we like our caramel rather than some rubbish sugary crap. The apple pie (slice) was huge and the sweet and sour notes were on point. We will be back for sure. Families with kids can bring along your colored pencils as every table is lined with a giant piece of paper for some scribbling fun.
