L'etoile Cafe



It took some time for my friend and I to finally find this cafe. It is at some secluded area in Owen Road. Thankfully, we had GPS in our phones to guide us along. The moment we saw L'etoile and its inside look, it was really worth the long and tiring distance walk from Farrer Park MRT. The exterior look is nothing but just one word. Pretty! It's so modern and simple. 

L'etoile is quite unique like its name itself. Based on "weekend eat what" blog, its name means "star" in French. It's a 2-storey shop house French-themed Japanese cafe as well.

I love this part of the first floor the most. It has the look of how a home would look like. It looks so cosy and comfortable to just chill on the sofa. It's really refreshing.
Welcome to 2nd storey of L'etoile Cafe! It's so big and spacious. It felt like home. I have not seen any cafes like this so far. I really love how they mismatch different types of furniture and create this nice and cosy environment. I was completely mesmerized by everything in the room.
Inner part of 2nd storey


 Nice painting on the wall. It really do match with the interior look.
They even have an old grandfather clock near the entrance.
They also have this old shelve at the corner where water pitcher and glass cups are at. Surprisingly, they even have waiters and waitresses at 2nd floor as well. Behind the shelve is where the staffs usually wait on their customers there.
A vintage sewing machine table is used as a dining table. It's quite creative actually as they add a vintage feel to the ambiance.
The menu are all hand written. I really appreciate the person's hard work and effort in writing all the menu by himself. Nice and readable handwriting and drawings.
Vietnamese Beef Pho - $14.90
Aglio Olio with bacon - $14,90
I ordered Vietnamese Beef Pho and my friend ordered Aglio Olio with bacon together with a glass of orange juice. I really find the food very delicious and their prices are quite reasonable as well.
L'etoile Cafe also sells handmade things for displays and accessories. They're quite pretty and cute especially the top picture and a little pricey.

Overall, L'etoile cafe is the best looking cafe I've seen of all the cafes I have visited. Having a vintage, modern and French-Japanese feel create this beautiful, peaceful and cosy ambiance to it. There is also good promotions which you should also take a look.

Based on yelp.com, this cafe is rated at 3.5 but I feel that it should be rated at 4/5, 3.5/5 for food, 4/5 for service and 4.5/5 for its interior look.
