Madam Flod: From floating creperie to home in "Boat Quay"

What began as "The First Foodboat in the Stockholm Archipelago," offering delicious crepes to diners while gently drifting across the waters of Sweden’s famous archipelago, has now settled into a shophouse in Singapore's Boat Quay (talk about full circle moment, huh?)

From boat to brick & mortar

Madam Flod first began offering crepes to diners on the gentle waves of Sweden's famous archipelago. Seasonal, cosy, and a little whimsical, it served sweet and savoury French crepes to passengers lucky enough to dine while drifting.

But as founders Nathan Nuzzo and Enikö Pongrácz began dreaming bigger, one thing became clear... they were missing a creperie they could call home year-round. Singapore, with its eternal summer and thriving food culture, felt like the right place to set that anchor!

"Below deck" of a two-storey shophouse?

Inside, there’s a tucked-away feeling that almost mimics being below deck. The lighting is warm and a touch amber-toned, and the staff—clad in red-and-white stripes—drift between tables like a small, synchronised crew. It’s charming without being too over-the-top.

The menu:

The food stays true to its love for French cuisine: buckwheat galettes filled with everything from roquefort and goat cheese to smoked salmon, eggs, and mushrooms.

But there’s a twist or two for the locals. A standout is the pandan kaya crepe, a Singapore-exclusive that perfectly fuses local nostalgia with Parisian elegance, delivering a sweet, golden treat that's uniquely Singaporean and wonderfully French at the same time. Prices range from $9.50 for a classic Sugar & Butter crepe to around $25.50 for a heartier galette.

During our visit, we tried the chocolate ganache crepe ($11.50): indulgent and velvety, and the terrine de canard ($14), which combines the rich, savoury flavours of duck with a subtle hint of smokiness, served simply with a side of tangy cornichons (tiny pickled cucumbers that bring a delightful crunch and sharpness to the dish).

To wash it all down, we opted for an Iced Caramel Macchiato ($7) and their signature Elderflowers Sourplum ($7), a refreshing homemade soda made with lemon and ice. It's light, tangy, and a delightful complement to the richness of the crepes and the terrine de canard. Both drinks paired nicely with the dishes, adding a cool and refreshing touch to the meal.

It's all hands on deck!

While Madam Flod may no longer drift through the archipelago, it still carries the essence of its beginnings. The staff’s passion for crepes, the laid-back atmosphere, and the simple pleasures of good food all echo the free-spirited vibe of its origins.

Even on dry land, it’s a place where you can freely “dock” to enjoy great food, drinks, and a good time.
