To the initiated, baking the perfect loaf of bread is an art form of its own. If you want to see just how deep the rabbit hole goes, pay a visit to this bakery concept in the East Coast. Firebake’s hand-built brick ovens allow the restaurant’s bakers to utilise classic European bread-making techniques, and ties into the restaurant’s traditional approach to making bread. While bread is certainly the highlight here, Firebake is also a full-service restaurant offering tartines, sandwiches, salads, soups, stews, grilled and smoked meats and fish, as well as baked desserts – all of which complement the bake house’s signature sourdough.

Nick Vina
Artisan baker Nick Chua was trained in Hanover and took it on himself to master the art of bread. It has definitely paid off though, they have amazing bread here. Our personal fave is the ‘Rusti’ bread, which is sprinkled with seeds and always gets gobbled up the same day. The bakery also does great wholemeal pita bread, chocolate buns for the kids and excellent baguettes.
