About Bistro Gaston

Tucked along Keong Saik, Bistro Gaston delivers unpretentious Burgundy comfort—a proper bistrot de quartier. Regulars head straight for the escargots baked into crisp pastry shells, rich beef bourguignon, and bowls of chive-flecked ravioles. Floor staff keep things strictly analog, trading digital QR codes for printed paper menus and thoughtful wine recommendations. Even better, the kitchen cooks straight through the afternoon without midday closures.

  • Burgundian comfort classics: Snails arrive baked into edible pastry shells alongside slow-braised beef bourguignon and cheese-stuffed ravioles.
  • All-day kitchen service: The kitchen runs continuously through the afternoon, serving hot seated meals and wine pours at off-peak hours like 4 p.m.
  • High-touch analog hospitality: Table service relies on conversational hospitality, cellar advice, and printed menus rather than contactless phone codes.

    Traditional snails are reimagined in crisp, edible pastry shells that deliver garlicky richness with no tongs or metal trays required.

  • All-Day Dining Without Break

    Continuous kitchen hours break the standard afternoon break pattern, welcoming guests for steak, ravioli, and wine well outside typical lunch or dinner hours.

    Most importantly they are open all day so we get to eat at 4pm

  • Full-Service Late-Evening Dinners

    A full evening kitchen accommodates late arrivals seeking authentic hot dishes and aperitifs after standard dining service has ended elsewhere.

    really lucky that Gaston was still open and taking orders, especially when you are just looking for a proper meal later in the evening.

  • Unhurried Gatherings Over Wine

    A relaxed, unhurried pace allows friends and companions to share French fare, uncork regional wines, and converse long after the plates are cleared.

    We stayed a little longer drinking our wine and catching up with each other.

    Attentive staff handle special occasion requests smoothly and proactively from reservation note to dessert presentation without repeated reminders.

    candles were ready for dessert, no need to remind them, no need to double check

    Xavier Ligot

Hearty Burgundian staples and bistro classics praised for distinct execution and generous flavor.

  • Escargots

    Escargots - made with a pastry shell so you can pop the whole thing in your mouth! So fun + the crispy shell adds great texture. So garlicky and good

  • Boeuf Bourguignon

    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.

  • Ravioles

    The steak and ravioli were both very good, especially the ravioli. I loved the sauce so much that I even dipped my baguette into it.

  • Croquettes

    The croquettes were especially memorable, with a lovely epoisses cheese ooze that came out when I cut into them.

  • French Toast

    the French toast is crazy good. It’s so caramelized and crunchy on the outside and fluffy and light on the inside.

  • Ricard Aperitif

    I had the Ricard aperitif which was refreshing to sip between every course (it's pretty strong 45% alcohol content).

    Hui Leng Khoo

  • French Long Beans

    I also enjoy their French long beans it was well done and very tasty.

    Oh, and their sourdough was very good!
