It was extremely stuffy, with no ventilation.
The food smell sticks to your clothes.
I ordered the pesto crepe, and it was incredibly oily, drowning in grease.
I would not recommend coming here at all.

Love the risotto and tomato soup the most, and the aglio olio had the perfect level of spiciness.

I’ve been a loyal Saybons customer for over a decade, visiting the Junction 8 outlet even before its relocation and the now-closed Plaza Singapura branch. Unfortunately, standards have really gone downhill.
During my recent visit, I noticed flies around the area, the soup was extremely watery and diluted (I gave feedback, but the response was simply, “Oh sorry, they just changed the soup”), and the so-called soft-boiled egg had an overcooked yolk. There was also extra grease on the crepe.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Saybons, but experiences like these can turn even long-time regulars away. I really hope to see improvements because I know this place can do better. Hoping for a better experience next time.

This place specialises in mid-range French food. The prices are reasonable. The All-in crepes with ham, mushroom, and egg are recommended. The seafood risotto was also good. Overall service was prompt.

We’ve been with Saybons since near the beginning, when they were at Plaza Singapura. Their soups and bread were outstanding and continue to be great at this outlet in Junction 8. However, their new menu offerings were misleading and lacking in quality — namely their cheese wheel pasta, which wasn’t served in a cheese wheel if customized with salmon. The manager said it was because the salmon would make it too salty. Well then, please take away the option of salmon, because it’s misleading to offer cheese wheel pasta if it doesn’t come in a cheese wheel! At the same time, the carbonara sauce was crappy and tasted like it came out of a jar with added salt. I have to say it was very nice of them to take the items we were not happy with off our bill.

Disappointing experience. The chair was dirty. Food was salty. The DIY cheesebowl pasta didn't work as intended; the cheese didn't properly coat the pasta. One of the female staff members had a really bad attitude, unsuitable for customer service. The price was also not cheap: two pastas with an add-on soup in a cup and one crepe cost $56. Won't go back again.

The crepes are tasty with a generous filling, although the portion is a bit small and not enough for a main course.
The casual and cosy atmosphere is great for catching up with friends.

Love the food options available and their convenience. However, the waiting time for my pasta took a bit longer than expected.
I arrived at 6:20 PM and ordered 5 minutes later.
The place wasn't crowded, but service seemed slow, maybe due to a lack of manpower.
The pasta was very good. I opted for the cheese pasta wheel.

Promising but disappointing.
Looks good from the outside, but should have read the reviews first.
Food is mediocre. Food was served very fast, which is usually a bad sign. Meatballs are rubbery. Soup came in a paper cup.
Waiter took 1 minute to confirm that a lunch item was sold out. Another waiter sat at a table and watched YouTube or TikTok with the speaker on. And you have to clear the table after the meal.
The price is mid-range, but the food and service are definitely not.

- Ordering was done by scanning the QR code on the table.
- The service was very efficient, and we received our food within 10 minutes.
- However, considering the price, the food was average. It wasn't bad, but relative to the cost, I've had better.
- I think they are short-staffed, as there was only one person greeting customers, cleaning tables, and serving food.
