Matin means "morning" in French, but did you know that it is also the name of the chef behind Le Matin Patisserie?
Known for its pastry boxes, Le Matin specialises in both sweet and savoury European pastries and was previously located at 10 Raeburn Park.
And from Apr. 15, the brand will be operating out of not one but two new outlets at 77 Robinson Road and Paragon.
77 Robinson Road
The air-conditioned main outlet at 77 Robinson Road offers Le Matin's classic range of pastries with cold items like tarts, eclairs, soft serve, and speciality coffee.

The cafe features minimalist interiors with a white marble countertop dominating its casual dining space.

You can also check out the new set of Breakfast Cakes.
These are individually-sized petit gateaux ("little cakes" in French) that resemble popular breakfast dishes.

Before 4pm on April 15, Le Matin updated on Instagram that items at the Robinson Road outlet have sold out on its first official day.

A Google review pointed out there was a long waiting time on Apr. 15, which could stem from the brand's immense popularity and the opening of the store on a public holiday.
Be prepared to wait if you're visiting them during this period.
However, your perseverance might be rewarded if you manage to get your hands on their Hot Cross Choux Buns that are only available this Easter weekend.
Porcelain at Paragon

Diners can also enjoy mini-versions of their popular items in a pre-purchased High Tea Set, which costs S$110 for two pax.
Each person will get:
- Three sweet pastries (kouign amann, pain au chocolat, pistachio escargot)
- Three savoury pastries (ox tongue and cheese panini, escargot escargot, lamb and red wine pie)
- Two petit gateaux (chocolate eclair, kombu tart)
- One choice of beverage
It's quite limited, however, as the two-hour time slot only caters to up to six people.
You can book your session here.
