“Hot chocolate not great!! “This French café makes a strong first impression with its beautifully designed fit-out—stylish, polished, and very much in line with the classic Parisian aesthetic. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, making it an enjoyable place to sit and spend some time, and the service is consistently good: attentive, friendly, and efficient without being intrusive. However, despite the café’s reputation, the signature chocolate doesn’t quite live up to the setting. It’s decent, but nothing particularly memorable or outstanding, especially for a place that highlights chocolate as a specialty. While it’s still a nice spot to visit for the ambiance and overall experience, those seeking truly exceptional, high-quality chocolate will likely find better options elsewhere

I visited Le Petit Chateau inside Block Arcade, and it was a lovely experience. The café has a beautiful French-inspired atmosphere — perfect for relaxing or taking photos. The coffee art was impressive, and both the coffee and the crepes were delicious. Even though the place was quite busy, the service was surprisingly fast and friendly, which I really appreciated. The prices are a little on the higher side, but the overall ambience and quality made it worth the visit. I’d definitely come back again, especially for their crepes and the charming vibe.

Le Petit Chateau is a cozy cafe located in the beautiful Block Arcade. We went at a busy time and got seated in a corner area but still loved the atmosphere. If you are dining here I would recommend having one of the servers take your order rather than using the online ordering system as one of my orders never processed, my friend was unable to order and we had to ask for one of our drinks (bottled soda) since the rest of our order had already arrived. This wasn’t the fault of the staff—they were very sweet and made sure they helped us immediately, but just in case, would suggest ordering normally. 🥖 Vaness Smoked Salmon Baguette — 8.2/10 Overall a very delicious and well-balanced baguette. They are very generous with the fillings and the flavours complement each other marvellously. The baguette is perfection as well, toasted to perfection. ☕️ Long black — 7/10 Not a coffee connoisseur, but the long black here has quite an acidic taste. Still enjoyed it very much.

A pretty little French cafe in classic Block Arcade. All day brunch menu filled with French delights. We had one savoury and one sweet crepe. The savoury was filled with sliced beef and melted shredded cheese, a salad on top, it covered the entire plate. The sweet was pistachio crumbs and strawberry, with a pistachio cream and ice cream on top. It had a nice puffier crepe. Almond latte was pretty good, iced latte had a quality coffee base. Interior decoration had flowers over walls and stairs like a wedding venue.
