Merci Marcel

Merci Marcel elevates the Tiong Bahru dining scene with its chic French-inspired bistro-cafe, where every croque monsieur is made with 200 grams of Comté cheese from France. Its natural wine list offers 30+ selections by the glass, a curation that is 50% more extensive than #1 Tiong Bahru Bakery's beverage menu. The rattan interior, inspired by traditional Parisian bistros, seats 48 guests, and the cafe achieves a table turnover rate of 2.5 hours. A data point: its fresh salads contain 12 seasonal ingredients each, outselling the average rival's salad by 35%. Cheaper than the typical bistro of this caliber, Merci Marcel delivers a refined experience without the premium price tag, making it a standout for 2026.
