Wine bar and French bistro on Keong Saik Road
Coming without expectations, leaving with unforgettable memories. I have no idea why didn’t found this restaurant before, should visit with someone lovely. Hunting menu is surprisingly good. By the way, they know what you want. Tell them, enjoy the time.
Visited on a weekday night to a nearly full house, a strong sign for a bistro that clearly has its regulars. We kept it light with wine paired alongside oysters, a cheese platter, and mussels, we having already dined earlier, it was more of a drinks and nibbles affair than a full sitting. That said, the pairing worked beautifully. The wine complemented the oysters and mussels effortlessly, and the cheese platter was a natural closer to the spread. A relaxed, convivial atmosphere that made it easy to linger longer than planned. The main courses are firmly on the agenda for the next visit. if the starters are any indication, dinner here deserves a proper sitting from start to finish.
Wicked good food. I really dislike beef and seafood in general but the beef bourguignon and fish stew were so delicious. I really appreciated the provision of sourdough bread which paired nicely with the main dishes. Escargot was presented in a pastry shell, some of the ones we had were crispy which was very nice - i personally would have preferred more butter but they were very well seasoned and better than the ones we have had elsewhere. Will be back to try the dessert!
🥘 We ordered 6 dishes and the one amazed us the most if their free flow sourdough with the butter! Make sure you order something with the toasted ones, which is even better. For the rest of the dishes I wouldn’t say they are outstanding considering the price, the tastes are generally quite standard. 🤵🏻 Amazing and super attentive service, BUT the serving is extremely slow. We waited 30mins for two chocolate puffs and 1 hour for the main courses (after the previous dish was served). The waiting was so long that we got filled up on the free flow sourdough…
Gaston was a wonderful dining experience. The highlight for me was the Boeuf Bourguignon - the sauce was absolutely delicious, rich and deeply savoury, with layers of red wine, a subtle smoky note from the bacon, and just the right touch of umami. The beef was tender and the sauce had that beautiful depth that makes you want to savour every last bit with the mash. We also had the escargots and croquettes, which were both delicious. The escargots were cleverly served in a pastry shell, which was a nice touch, though I wish there had been a bit more garlic to really bring out their flavour. The croquettes were especially memorable, with a lovely epoisses cheese ooze that came out when I cut into them. We finished with the Pain Perdu - a lovely ending to the meal. I don’t drink wine and I am not a big eater, especially at dinner, so I really appreciated that the dishes were satisfying without feeling overly heavy. Overall, Gaston offered a warm, intimate French bistro experience with food that was full of character. I would happily return for that Boeuf Bourguignon alone!
