About Le Petit Chateau Restaurant

Block Arcade architecture meets Parisian café energy at this pocket-sized city crêperie. Locals slip in for crispy galettes—especially the fig, brie, and prosciutto combo drizzled with honey—or sweet crepes loaded with pistachio cream. The arcade setting brings mosaic floors and prime people-watching, backed by attentive table service that never hurries you along. Sip an espresso or a bowl-sized hot chocolate crowned with whipped cream while vintage cutlery clinks against the plates.

  • Block Arcade Setting: Tucked under the heritage Victorian architecture and mosaic tiles of the CBD's Block Arcade.
  • Sweet & Savoury Crêpes: Crispy folded galettes and sweet options, including fig and brie alongside pistachio cream.
  • House Drinks & Coffee: Signature whipped-cream hot chocolates, creamy lattes, and classic espresso.
  • European Café Ambiance: Attentive, calm table service with French background music and bespoke table details.

  • Heritage Arcade People-Watching

    Outdoor arcade seating lets patrons relax and people-watch under the Victorian glass canopies and ornate architecture.

    Sitting outside feels fancy and sophisticated because as people walks past, they glance curiously what we were eating and felt like we were in Paris as well.

  • Sheltered Heritage Arcade Refuge

    Nestled inside the heritage Block Arcade, the cafe offers a sheltered sanctuary away from city traffic and street noise.

    It wasn’t busy this morning, so it was nice and quiet from the noisy and bustling roads.

Signature French crêpes and house beverages that define the Le Petit Chateau experience

  • Signature Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream

    We came here to try out their signature hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was very delicious, and the cup size was so big that it could easily be shared.

  • Prosciutto, Dried Fig, and Brie Crepe

    The prosciutto went so well with the sweet fig and mild brie. Absolutely delicious combo when eaten together with the crispy crepe.

  • Pistachio Sweet Crepe

    The sweet crepes were the best- Pistachio had to be my favourite.

  • French Big Breakfast Crepe

    Especially the French big breakfast crepe. It looks deceiving but it’s filling. Inside are cheese, champagne leg ham, avocado and a runny egg. It’s so delicious that it’s must come back to order again.
