A fresh addition to the riverside dining scene along the Chao Phraya, Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen and Bar has landed with a splash on the third floor of Iconsiam.The competitive nature of Bangkok’s burgeoning food scene makes opening a new restaurant here a somewhat risky proposition, but Ramsay is perhaps the world’s most recognisable chef and a champion of British gastronomy. His latest venture follows on the heels of Thailand’s first Bread Street Kitchen at Emsphere.
Expect beef wellington and classic fish and chips alongside exotic fare such as Canadian lobsters and Arctic snow crabs on the BSK seafood platter. Natty brunch items like crab and avocado toast also make the menu, as do satisfying desserts such as sticky toffee pudding.
In town for the January 22 opening of his new outlet, a relaxed Ramsay chatted to Time Out Bangkok as he took in the panorama of the river from his restaurant’s third-floor location. “I have to be honest, the view here is spectacular. To be able to bring Bread Street to Bangkok…to have this position, I still think every morning I’m the luckiest chef in the world.”
