Le Matin, or “the morning” in French, is a French-inspired patisserie with an ever-evolving menu of unique pastries founded by Chef Mohamed Al-Matin. Located at ION Orchard (#B2-49), visit their brand-new concept café, serving up signature French delights for brunch and dessert alongside sweet and savoury pastries available for dine-in and takeaway.
After 2 years as Pastry Sous Chef of Noma, Chef Matin now shares his passion for fine dining and patisserie with his team of passionate bakers and has expanded their culinary know-how to savoury pastries and hot mains, all in their pursuit of serving up the complete French dining experience.
Look forward to a host of brand-new pastries as well as never-before-served hot mains that will pique your interest and tickle your tastebuds. The new Le Matin Patisserie will serve its famed pastries all day for dine-in and takeaway, while brunch and desserts are available for dine-in only from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am-3pm for brunch and 6pm-10pm for desserts.
All-Day Cakes and Pastries
Back by popular demand, Le Matin’s Almond Croissant ($7.50) is filled with roasted almonds in a bed of vanilla cream and topped with more crunchy slivered almonds while the Kouign Amann ($7.50), is Chef Matin’s signature bake of flaky pastry layered generously with butter, caramelized sugar, vanilla and hints of molasses.
Other sweet pastries include the Pistachio & Rose Escargot ($8) that holds nutty pistachio custard and rose-scented cranberries, finished off with a topping of chopped pistachio and dried rose petals or try the Smoked Cruffin ($10) filled with applewood smoked vanilla custard and topped with charred eucalyptus meringue.
For a savoury touch, the Escargot Escargot ($13) contains delicious French escargot stuffing inside, further fragranced with mushroom ricotta curd or try the Wagyu & Bone Marrow Sausage Roll ($16) that comes with smoked bone marrow and minced wagyu wrapped in puff pastry, brown butter, walnuts and black garlic glaze.
New petit gateau, the quintessential French little cakes, are available as well.
