曼谷西隆富丽华大酒店

A talented Japanese chef reimagines French cuisine through the lens of his heritage, applying classic techniques from both culinary cultures to top-notch Japanese and French ingredients. The dishes in his refined and varied seven-course menu change with the seasons, each beautifully composed and with a wealth of nuance. Though the panoramic city views are striking, it's the balance of precision and creativity on the plate that make the biggest impression.

At this sky-high restaurant on the 61st floor of Lebua, panoramic views form the backdrop to the elegantly designed space. The mood is calm and sophisticated, with tables angled to the skyline. An open kitchen takes centre stage, as chefs skilfully craft a sequence of hot and cold dishes. An expert sommelier curates pairings to enhance each bite; featuring both fine imports and artisan produce from a local farm, an impressive cheese trolley rounds off the meal.

A new chapter unfolds in Bangkok’s dining scene as Anne-Sophie Pic brings her celebrated French artistry to the city. Working alongside her trusted Japanese head chef, Tamaki Kobayashi, the menu highlights Pic’s signature creations, including her renowned lobster dish and the thoughtfully curated Voyage menu. Set in a beautifully renovated space overlooking the Chao Phraya River, it blends elegance with quiet refinement.

Chef "Ton" Thitid brings creative flair to Thai cuisine at Le Du, where a rotating menu celebrates the seasons – Du is derived from the Sanskrit word for "season". In summer, standout dishes include khao chae and the richly flavoured khao khluk kapi with river prawns. The striking ceiling covered with 20,000 test tubes adds visual drama, and the delightful, attentive service team ensures each dish is thoughtfully explained, creating a warm dining experience.

After three years in its previous location, Aunglo by Yangrak is now offering the same friendly vibes in this refreshed setting. The new menu highlights seasonal ingredients with a focus on the catch of the day, grilled Thai rice bowls and flavoursome skewers. Diners can opt for a counter seat for a front-row view of the chefs at work at the grill station. The dishes are great for sharing, and everything is made fresh to order.

Named for the ratio of local ingredients to the chef's inspiration, 80/20 promises a dynamic seasonal tasting menu, featuring innovative delights from the first bite to the last. The concept extends to the design, using predominantly Thai materials in an industrial loft style. The chef employs traditional techniques to create contemporary interpretations of classic Thai dishes with Lao influences. Mains are paired with aromatic Yasothon jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan.
