48 | LUXlife Magazine Nestled in one of London’s most iconic districts, The Bugis Singapore Restaurant in Kensington brings the vibrant spirit and flavors of Singapore to the heart of the city. Drawing inspiration from Singapore's famed Bugis Street and its historical spice trade, the restaurant offers an authentic taste experience inspired by the flavors and aromas that defined this legendary destination. Originally opening as the Bugis Street Brasserie in 1994, this dining gem found its first home within the Millennium Hotel and Conference Centre Gloucester London. Initially repurposed from an under-utilized storage area, the space was transformed into a lively spot that introduced guests and locals alike to the tastes of Singapore. Nearly three decades later, the restaurant embraced a fresh chapter with its move to The Bailey’s Hotel London Kensington in 2021, a shift that also elevated its ambiance and refined its offerings. Now situated in the heart of South Kensington, The Bugis Singapore has become a destination for fine Singaporean dining, known for its blend of authentic dishes and attentive service. Guests can explore an array of menus—à la carte, lunch, dessert, and set options—each infused with the culinary influences of Singapore’s Chinese and Malaysian heritage. Signature dishes showcase premium, seasonal ingredients that pay tribute to the restaurant’s roots, including the famed Hainanese chicken rice (featuring poached corn-fed chicken and ginger chili), bak kut teh (spiced pork ribs simmered in a herbal broth), and Scottish Angus beef kway teow (stir-fried rice noodles with tender beef fillet). The dining experience at The Bugis Singapore is elevated by a simple yet sophisticated setting, with low lighting and elegant touches throughout, from plush seating to pristine table settings. The ambiance makes it the perfect backdrop for everything from romantic date nights to family celebrations. Guests can even enjoy special cultural festivities, such as the annual Chinese New Year 'lion dance,' adding a rich layer of tradition to the restaurant's offerings. This new Kensington location not only boasts a fresh look but also a dedicated team and a new chef committed to upholding and reimagining The Bugis Singapore’s esteemed reputation. This revitalization has already captured the hearts of many diners, as reflected in glowing reviews over the past 18 months. One frequent guest described it best: “This restaurant is one of those rare gems in Central London where the food is consistently excellent, and the service is genuinely warm and attentive.” In agreement with this sentiment, we confidently recommend The Bugis Singapore Restaurant for anyone seeking an unparalleled Asian dining experience in London—whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering it anew.
