This is a French grocery store as well as a restaurant with a wide selection of Belgian beer. It has a rustic ambience and serves traditional French comfort food like quiche and beef stews.

Studio 28
2/F, Uptown Parade, BGC, The Fort
(0949) 694 0286
or Studio Kitchen Bar if you look up Zomato. A high-end lounge at night and recording studio by day, this establishment does not seem to want to be discovered as its signage is rather unreadable. Maybe That is their allure.
Ministry of Crab
Shangri La at the Fort, BGC, The Fort
(02) 820 0888
A restaurant that specializes in crabs currently shares the entrance with a speakeasy bar. Its appeal, apart from the crabs, apparently is the ease that its customers will have in getting the crab meat from the shell, as the cooked crab has been undressed for quick consumption. It is high quality crab and excellent cooking with a price that is double that of a regular seafood restaurant.
Real Food
Icon Showroom Building, 5th Avenue, BGc, The Fort
Residents who live in the western part of the Fort now have another place to buy organic vegetables. A grocery store that specializes in organic vegetables and other healthy ingredients has opened. It even has free parking spaces for its clients.
