August 2025 | Anniversary

The Plump Frenchman, Chef Lorenz Hoja's new brasserie, isn't fine dining—but it's every bit as delicious, thank you very much.

French Twist

There is no shortage of French casual dining options in Singapore. But a new entrant— The Plump Frenchman—is shaking things up with its delightfully satisfying food. A cosy 70-seater brasserie along Tan Quee Lan Street, it is part of the Zouk Group (Five Guys, Here Kitty Kitty, and Redtail).

Lorenz Hoja, Zouk Group's Chief Culinary Officer and the mind behind the menu, describes The Plump Frenchman as a "buttered-up love letter" to French cuisine. As the metaphor suggests, expect a lavish spread of rich, indulgent flavours.
