In most restaurants serving grilled meat, starting with a fresh basket of bread is the norm. What makes Gordon Ramsay Bar and Grill different is serving it with their smoked marrow butter. Afterwards, the kitchen sends in their beautifully curated Seafood Tower that draws diners in with its perfectly shucked oysters with delectable sauce on the side. If that not enough to work up that appetite, the platter also comes with a whole lobster, salmon, shrimps, and scallops served in the Japanese sashimi style.

Another set of starters to follow such as the salmon that is citrus-cured served with some smoked yoghurt for added complexity and freshness. This dish provides the perfect balance with the right amount of acidity to cleanse the palate. Next up, there is the aged steak tartare that comes along with a cured egg yolk which gives the perfect balance of flavors to prepare for what is to come.

Lastly, diners should never miss the restaurant’s signature starter, the soufflé. The sauce that comes with creamy aged cheddar, perfumed with chives, brings joy to every bite. This is the perfect set to work up one’s appetite in preparation to the big leagues.
