BBR By Alain Ducasse Mediterranean magic

You are missing out if you have yet to visit BBR by Alain Ducasse, a modern Mediterranean grill concept by the highly decorated French chef located in the former Bar & Billiard Room of Raffles Singapore. Chef de cuisine Louis Pacquelin presides over the large open concept kitchen fitted with a woodfired rotisserie and a pizza oven, all which take up half the space in the middle of the restaurant. A circular brass centrepiece hangs above it, making for great Instagram shots. Guests sit ensconced in burnished orange couches as they scan through a succinct menu of classic dishes from France, Spain and Italy.

The kitchen doles out popular appetisers like Pulpo a la Gallega (tender grilled octopus in paprika and olive oil served with piquillo sauce) and Tortilla Espanola (potato & onion omelette) well, but our favourite is the Pissaladière, a Provençal tart with a pizza-like crust and filled with caramelised onions. The star of the menu is definitely the Cataplana de Marisco ($60), a hearty, savoury stew filled from Carabinero shrimp, fish and mussels and shellfish served in the Portuguese pot. End with Tiramisu; the mascarpone is whipped to perfection and steeped in Ducasse’s specialty coffee.
