EMBRACE THE FLAME, IGNITE THE FLAVOUR
Fireplace by Bedrock is the fiery new concept at Holland Village that pays homage to the award-winning Bedrock core philosophy of keeping all things classic, sourced from the earth, and inspired by the earth. The new concept exemplifies our love for the simplicity in cooking with open wood fire, which enhances the depth of flavour that delights our taste buds. The logo symbolically underscores the pivotal role of temperature in mastering woodfire cuisines, reaching temperatures exceeding a thousand degrees Celsius.
The use of the open-fire grill allows the inherent flavours of the ingredients to shine, unhindered by excessive seasonings or complicated preparations. Anticipate a varied array of premium quality meats and fish, from whole carcass choices to fresh seasonal produce, enriched with the alluring, smoky essence of the wood fire. The excitement lies in its unpredictability ꟷ the wood varies, and the smoke varies ꟷ infusing a unique character and freedom into the cooking process. It’s a primal and soulful experience.
As you step into the inviting and cosy ambience of Fireplace, you’ll be embraced by a feeling of warmth, cosiness, and unity. Gather with your companions around the crackling fire, where stories flow freely, and savour good and honest cuisine. Embrace the Flame and Ignite your senses.
