TIME OUT
Dining at Taratata Bistrot reminds us of a lazy Tuesday afternoon, people watching over a steaming café au lait in rainy Paris. More Montmartre than Champs-Elysee, its unsuspecting location catches you by surprise—one minute you are in the hustle and bustle of Singapore's Chinatown, but slip down a sidestreet and you suddenly find yourself in a Parisian estaminet (a café that's even littler and more charming than usual) with checkered tiles, red booth seats, and pendant lamps.
Taratata shares its name with a popular French variety show known for its unlikely duets, apt for chef-owner duo Bertrand Raguin and Philippe Nouzillat, who share the title of executive chef. Both French natives and veteran cooks, you wouldn't guess that Taratata is the hippest new Michelin-star powered eatery in the city. It serves up wholesome dishes that evoke a sense of home and hearth as well as rustic favourites like pâtés, terrines, and rillettes. Pair them with a generous pour of house pinot noir or a cool chablis and you can just about see the raindrops rat-tattling across zinc rooftops on Keong Saik Road. (Sep 2011)
