Last month, Marina Bay Sands unveiled the opening of The Bird Southern Table & Bar by renowned restaurateur John Kunkel, who owns the James Beard-nominated and award-winning Yardbird Southern Table & Bar. The 190-seater, two-storey restaurant serves Southern USA classic dishes, including its famous 100-year-old recipe Lewellyn’s Fine Fried Chicken, Shrimp ‘N’ Grits, Buttermilk Biscuits, and Fried Green Tomato BLT.

The Bird is a tribute to Southern cuisine and farm-fresh ingredients. It stems from John Kunkel’s love of family recipes and wanting to share great comfort food with the rest of the world. At The Bird, diners will enjoy cuisine that ranges from simple but innovative dishes that focuses on seasonal produce, like grilled fish and light salads, to more indulgent, Americana comfort dishes like fried chicken, mac and cheese, and apple pie.
