Gordon Ramsay opens Marina Bay Sands eatery

TV celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has opened a new eatery at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands complex.

Bread Street Kitchen restaurant and bar offers classic British European fare in a lively and bustling space facing the spectacular waterfront.

Located at the south promenade of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, the restaurant features an extensive menu that showcases British favourites reinvented by the multi-Michelin starred chef at the brand’s London flagship.

Ramsay said he is excited to open in Singapore because its people are so passionate about food.

“Bread Street Kitchen is a mix of vintage and modern with an ever-changing menu, dishes inspired by local ingredients, and a beautiful view of the waterfront and city skyline.”

Designed by Wilson Associates’ Blueplate Studios, the two-storey restaurant and bar stays true to the brand’s East London industrial roots. However, the design team reinvented certain brand elements to create a distinct sense of place, starting with the floors and ceilings. The black and white tiled floors are transformed into abstracted geometric patterns that add “a quirky playfulness” to the venue and help distinguish the different dining environments. The ceilings on the ground level – resembling a woven orange checkered board – bring warmth and dimension to the glass enclosure.

To further achieve the eclectic industrial vibe, the furniture, finishes and fixtures are a mix of vintage and modern influences. Exposed pipework, wire mesh, black mirrors, and vintage-inspired lighting and accessories complement the tufted banquets and dark-stained timber. Black and white photos of St. Paul’s Cathedral hang on the wall, alluding to the location of “Bread Street” within the old City of London. They also enhance the sense of nostalgia that makes the Bread Street Kitchen experience novel, yet familiar.

The main entrance of the restaurant is a collaged walkway of authentic Singaporean manholes. These manholes are a playful reference to the actual ‘street’ in Bread Street Kitchen. To the left of the walkway sits the venue’s focal point: the bar. The bar is a tribute to the mezzanine wine cellar in the London location. It’s a brasserie-industrial fusion comprised of local suar wood and expanded mesh that’s bathed in diffused light.

The overall design feel is an eclectic industrial collection of marble, bronze, mixed timbers, and leather that creates an intimate, bespoke dining experience for a variety of guests.

Bread Street Kitchen’s signature dishes include Pork Belly, Shepherd’s Pie and Roasted Veal Carpaccio, as well as the BSK Burger, with melted Monterey Jack cheese and spicy sriracha mayo in a brioche bun.
