This place has a great ambience due to its location and interior design! For savoury, we ordered No. 7 and 9 and both had really interesting flavours that pushed the boundaries of what a crepe could do. I liked how buckwheat crepe provide a crispy texture to the fillings it contains.
No. 7: The French pork sausage stole the show by balancing the right amount of saltiness with the neutral flavour of the crepe. However, one could not really taste the “onion confit marinated
in cider, old style mustard cream, comte cheese”, which was a shame. The cream on top honestly just tasted like mayonnaise. 6.5/10
No. 9: Slightly inferior as the filling tasted like rösti with carbonara sauce. The Bayonne ham was nice though. Same thing as No. 7, the description of the dish promised a whole lot more than what was delivered. 6/10

For sweet crepe we ordered No. 19, which was with chestnut cream and mascarpone. The chestnut cream was basically an elevated kaya jam with a nutty aftertaste. The mascarpone was more like a whipped cream than cheese. 5/10, would not recommend.

Very disappointed and doubtful that the crepes contained the ingredients it described (“marinated in cider”, “white wine pickled”?). For three crepes, the bill came up to be slightly more than $60. My main complaint would be that the prices are very steep and honestly, overpriced for food that sounds nicer than it tastes. Great place for one who wants to try French crepes but unlikely to come back again. You’re better off trying their sister restaurant Merci Marcel (which is average at best so that’s saying something).

Squid Ink Spaghetti & Clams: Another dish they got it absolutely right. The squid ink was infused in the pasta itself (and not the sauce) which we understood was flown in fresh from Italy. This allowed the flavour of the squid ink to be more deeply infused into the dish. Also great for those who fear getting “black mouth” as there’s no black sauce. The star of the dish was the crispy crumble on top, which was a medley of garlic, bread crumbs and other ingredients that were made in-house. 9/10 - an unassuming dish but packed full of umami!

We got this dish as the owner recommended us to try a pasta along with the pizza. It was a great suggestion as my friend and I would have been too full with two full-sized pizzas at lunchtime! This is their best-selling pasta and it is definitely a must-try.

Super happy I found this place! Enjoyed my meal so much and would go back again to try the other dishes. Don’t dismiss it even though it’s not as popular as other Italian restaurants like LINO or La Nonna (yet) 😋

Note: It gets busier towards late afternoon & closer to dinnertime so recommend to go in the early afternoon!

Tried the San Salsiccia pizza and it was a party of flavours in my mouth. The Italian sausage had a deep meaty flavour, which was complemented by the crunchy texture of the caramelised onions and tanginess of the fennel. To top it all off, the dollops of ricotta cheese provided the right amount of saltiness to the dish. Pizza crust was just right and had a nice chew to it. 10/10 please get this if you’re here you will not regret it.

Compared to LINO, the menu here is definitely more expansive and innovative. Service was impeccable - had a chat with the owner who is extremely hospitable, humble and really passionate about his food! The restaurant is located along the river so you get great views when dining as well. I can imagine the ambience at night being very chill and romantic ☺️

We used Burpple Beyond and the bill came up to be

We were initially very impressed with the generously thick slices of salmon sashimi that was offered and the batter of fried octopus! The seared salmon was nice as well.

However, the raw food was not very fresh - the raw ebi prawn had a ‘muddy’ aftertaste and the salmon did not taste fresh as well. The sushi rice used in the nigiri and don was also very sticky and mushy, and lacked that ‘mirin’ taste.

My friend and I both felt queasy after the meal, which also led to me vomiting a while later ☹️🤮🤮

It is tough starting up a business in this climate, genuinely hope that Magic Touch improves the quality of their food soon.
