At Bedrock Bar & Grill, diners can look forward to a tantalising a la carte menu which keeps to Bedrock's philosophy of preparing simple classic dishes with the freshest ingredients. The modern grill restaurant showcases cooking techniques such as wood grilling and smoking, and welcomes guests with its communal spirit of sharing food and keeping the dining mood easy, timeless and fun.
Bedrock's signature dishes include the Bedrock Smoked Tomato Soup ($14) made from applewood-smoked sweet tomatoes served with a touch of basil mascarpone, Roasted Wagyu Bone Marrow ($24), and Baked Camembert ($28) with black pepper and capers. Under the Raw & Cured section, diners delight in the seasonal Freshly Shucked Oysters, paired with red wine-shallot mignonette (market price) and a platter of Spanish Jamon iberico de bellota ($49) that is shaved a la minute at the open kitchen counter.
The chefs work directly with farms as faraway in USA, Australia and Japan to source various cuts of premium meats and seafood, and ensure that they are cultivated using sustainable methods. Meat lovers will be pleased with the selection of grain or grass fed steaks that are cooked over a mesquite wood-fired grill to impart a smoky flavour.
A top seller is the Bedrock Pepper Steak showcasing a cap of ribeye ($79/ 300g) served with a homemade piquant pepper sauce. Other popular cuts are the 21 days Dry-aged USDA Prime Ribeye ($96/ 300g) and Australian Grass-fed Bone-in Striploin ($69 / 350g). Diners also flock to Bedrock for the Tomahawk, an enormous piece of long bone ribeye steak - perhaps the biggest in Singapore. This impressive Tomahawk is a 400-day grain-fed F1 Wagyu steak sourced from Australia and can range between 1.6kg to 2.5kg (depending on the size of the cut) - and is best for sharing! The steaks come with a choice of red wine sauce, classic Béarnaise, whisky wholegrain mustard, stone mill French mustard and homemade Bedrock chilli oil. Pick from a variety of sides like the Bedrock Mac n Cheese ($15), Truffled Mash Potatoes ($15), or Duck Fat Potatoes ($15).
Apart from the steaks, the menu also offers other fine choices like the Crispy Skin Seabass ($32) with fennel pollen and heirloom tomatoes, and the gourmet Chopped Steak Burger ($35) that comes with a 100% USDA prime angus beef patty, bacon, fried egg, mustard bbq sauce, oak-smoked aged cheddar and fries. Vegetarians can take delight in the vegetarian "Steak" Diane ($32) - a grilled meaty mushroom served with truffled fries. A must-order dessert is the Bedrock Crumble For 2 ($22) with oven-baked apples, walnut streusel and vanilla ice cream.
From Monday to Saturday, Bedrock also offers a two-course set lunch ($26 to $32) for the Soup of the day or Dessert, and choice of main courses with sides. The three-course set lunch is priced from $32 to $38. For the full menu, go to www.bedrock.com.sg
Bar Talk
Featuring a relaxing outdoors terrace to watch the world go by, Bedrock makes an ideal watering hole with its full service whisky bar that serves an extensive range of over 45 single malt whiskies as well as inventive and classic cocktails. Sip on refreshing concoctions such as Cumquat Cadillac ($15) - Don Julio reposado tequila, kumquats, honey & ginger syrup, lime juice and spiked with orange bitters. Whisky lovers should embark on the four whisky trails to sample the best picks from around the world. Don't be afraid to speak to the mixologists and they'd be happy to whip up your preferred cocktail. Every Monday is Bring-Your-Own-Wine (BYO) night at Bedrock too. Diners can bring up to four bottles of wine per table (thereafter corkage of $30 applies for subsequent bottle).
Happy hour takes place from Monday to Thursday at 5pm to 11pm, and from Friday to Saturday at 6pm to 12am. Customers enjoy a 1-for-1 offer at $18 on selected beers, wines and cocktails such as the Jamaican Mojito, Peach Bellini, and Whisky Sour. Nibble on a variety of bar snacks such as Crispy bacon with blue cheese dip, Shoestring fries with black pepper dip, and Steak & truffled mayonnaise.
