It does seem that dining establishments with a focus on serving French cuisine have been getting rather trendy of the late — whilst we had written about the opening of Bouillon Gavroche at Mandarin Gallery, there is also a new establishment named Frenchy Deli that had Reddit opened its doors at the basement of The Sail. These folks had taken over the former premises of Al-Marche which had moved on and expanded to multiple outlets within the Central Business District; this also makes them neighbours with establishments like Salad Story there. Frenchy Deli does come decked with some true French vibes here with the use of a solid tone of blue for its facade; the use of several paintings hung on its walls also very especially apt with the vibe; all that with dining chairs and tables that helps to replicate at patio-esque dining vibe. Focusing on simple offerings, the food menu at Frenchy Deli is segmented into sections dedicated to Soup & Salads, Lettuce Wraps, Mama’s Pizzas, Sandwiches, Toasties and Paninis. Pastries that are available for the day are also prominently displayed in the display case at the entrance of the cafe.

The Frenchy Croque Toastie is one of the items that are being listed in the Toasties section of the menu. One thing that is worth noting about the offerings at Frenchy Deli is how the food items being served up here do seem to have been pre-prepared in advance — perhaps to better cope with the grab-and-go nature of the establishment considering the demographics of the diners in the area. Frenchy Deli does not describe the elements that are featured in the Frenchy Croque Toastie, though it can be observed from our order that the item does seem to come with cheese, sourdough toast and pork ham — we also noticed a mustard spread with mustard seeds on the inner sides of the sourdough as well. One thing that really bothered us about the Frenchy Croque Toastie was the thin layer of cheese over the sourdough which seemed to have been slightly overdone; this made the Frenchy Croque Toastie felt particularly dry, and coupled with the use of sourdough also meant that the bread Toastie felt especially tough to chew through. With that being said, the use of soft cheese within the Toastie does add a bit of a chewy texture and adds a savoury note to the tender pork ham which wasn’t overly salty; the use of the mustard spread also adds an earthy note that provides a contrast of flavours as well.
