b+f open flame kitchen
artisan food, artisan soul
Located on the ground floor of 360 Mall adds to the concept
of their design. Looking in at b+f from the outside, you see nothing but black
screens and hear the chilled music coming from inside over the whispers of the
customers. Attracting passer-bys; the place is always busy and operates with
the “first-come-first-served” policy. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the
ambiance is relaxing and not over powering, everything compliments the other.
Dark enough to feel relaxed and comfortable, lit enough to see the brilliance
that is your food - b+f had a vision that they presented beautifully. The
person to thank for all this genius is Bassil Al-Salim, owner and brains behind
this amazing vision.
Walking in, it felt like ... read |
