For one, I am intrigued by the arrival of the demon chef Gordon Ramsay himself but I also tried not to get overhyped because I still vaguely remembered that subpar experience at Maze more than 7 years ago.
But unlike Maze, Bread Street Kitchen & Bar is more of a down-to-earth diner. We can tell from the rustic "warehouse" look.
I won't say the food menu is extensive but it sure covers a lot of ground. We started off with the seared scallops with carrot puree, treacle bacon and celery cress ($158). I thought it was a pretty well prepared dish (6.5/10).
The flat bread with caramelized onions, taleggio cheese, cured pigs cheek and basil pesto toppings was another lovely dish ($118) though the basil pesto could have been a little less dominating (6/10).
We had the roasted baby chicken, chimichurri, burnt lemon ($218) from the grill and the deboned chicken was surprisingly tender. Only if they could get the seasoning right, it would be quite perfect (5/10).
They were saving the best for last with one of their signature dishes - slow roasted Dingley Dell pork belly served with spiced apple puree and apple relish ($198). The Dingley Dell pork was famed for its flavor and texture and it was simply brilliant. I could still remember that melt-in-your-mouth sensation (8.5/10).
Onto dessert, I thought the Sticky toffee pudding, Muscovado caramel, clotted cream ($88) stood out prominently against the rest of the bunch (7/10).
Less than stellar was the chocolate tart with salted caramel ice cream ($98) which was a little boring (4/10).
Bread Street Kitchen & Bar certainly gave me something to cheer about tonight. I am already planning a return trip very soon.
