The Baker J team takes pride in every part of their elevated French culinary experience, from sourcing the ingredients to serving French chef Nicolas Pasdeloups’ culinary creations.  While the culinary offers consist of the finest of French cuisine this side of the metro, Baker J is Reminiscent of casual and comfortable Parisian cafés, brimming with life and fine French food.  Diners are invited to rest and relax while enjoying delicious food in great company, catching up with long-missed loved ones and colleagues - and there’s nothing like a great meal to bring people together.

Opening as early as 6am, diners can start the day right with Baker J’s all-day breakfast menu featuring eggs benedict with sautéed spinach or smoked salmon; tangy and savoury shakshuka, available as both a delicious vegetarian dish and a spicy sausage-packed iteration; and of course, the French pastries that chef Nicolas and his team have perfected: crisp and flaky croissant, petite madeleine (made traditionally using techniques from Northeastern France), and the indulgent kouign-amann also known as “butter cake” from Douarnenez, France.

Some other must-tries include chef Nicolas’ take on the classic coq au vin from Burgundy, which beautifully showcases the exceptional wines of the famous wine region; the rich yet light quiche lorraine from the eponymous region; Baker J’s signature confit de canard made with duck confit croquettes, served with green lentils and mizuna leaves in balsamic vinaigrette; the healthy but satisfying pan-seared salmon steak with ratatouille; and of course the ever-favourite French breakfast selects like salmon tartine with avocado and goat’s cheese and the brunch-perfect traditional croque monsieur with grùyere.

To wash down all the delectable food, diners can choose from a wide range of Baker J signature beverages, from refreshing summer drinks to detox options, espresso, frappé, and even mocktails and cocktails.
