The design of this restaurant perfectly captures its intention of encouraging omnivores to gather and feast.
With a name like Meating Place, it takes very little imagination to realise what this restaurant in Duo Galleria serves up.
From slabs of steak to free-roam chicken and even pork collar, meats take centrestage here. However, its chef-owner Jerome Lim also takes equal pride in his vegetables, declaring them to be a flavourful component of the dishes he creates.
The responsibility fell upon design firm LAANK to translate the restaurant’s concept into its interiors – something which it did both with subtlety and flair.
“Marble grains, a green bar counter and hammered metal represent the ingredients of red meat, greens and fish. Oxidised metal, burnt wood and a mesh grill represent the cooking methods,” says LAANK’s founder Cherin Tan.
Food aside, Meating Place is somewhere Lim wants people to come and gather in a cosy and warm setting, free from pretension.
A sense of openness is immediately apparent when you step into the restaurant.
Just inside the doors is the coffee bar that emanates the welcoming scent of the beverage. Behind it is the dining space and a clear view straight to the unobscured kitchen.
