Western Chow

I am a fan of Gordon Ramsay due to US MasterChef so of course I had to visit Bread Street Kitchen when it arrived on our shores. I had high hopes for the dishes and ordered crowd pleasers such as traditional British fish & chips served with crushed peas and tartare sauce, slow roasted Dingley Dell pork belly with apple purée and whole grain mustard jus and butternut squash risotto topped with crispy sage and parmesan. The dishes were tasty enough but none really took me by surprise. Could be due to the fact that I had such sky high expectations or just that British fare wasn’t my cup of tea.

Came here for a Christmas gathering with the girls and we ordered up a storm. We ordered some 7 dishes amongst the 4 of us and it was truly belly satisfying haha. We had homemade fried potatoes with cheese, crispy fried anchovies with lemon, grilled haloumi cheese with lemon and oregano and Greek filo pastry with spinach, feta, leeks and dill. For mains we had grilled lamb chops with oregano and rosemary, grilled octopus and a chicken dish that I can’t recall the actual name. We were so stuffed we couldn’t fit in dessert. All of the dishes were good in their own way and this place would be a perfect spot for families and gatherings with friends. Not really recommended for a romantic date cos this place was rather noisy so just come here for hearty Greek fare with the pals. Not too expensive too. We paid about $50 per head for 7 dishes.
