The Best Fine Dining Restaurants In Bangkok
Bangkok‘s reputation for its thriving, culinary scene has long passed the borders of Thailand and gained worldwide recognition. An ever increasing number of Michelin chefs have relocated to the Thai capital in order to delight locals and visitors alike with exceptional dishes and extraordinary flavours too. Let’s take a look at where to sample their creations.
1. Vogue Lounge
Bar, Restaurant, Wine Bar, French, European, Contemporary, Thai
Originally started as a bar, the Vogue Lounge now offers a truly dazzling menu, which has had Bangkok’s food critics raving. Under two-star-Michelin chef Vincent Thierry, the charming restaurant invites the visitor to lean back into its stylish leather chairs, perfectly complemented by bronze tables and polished black bar tops. The international menu features signature Vogue Lounge Bites, meticulously prepared and artfully served. The sumptuous treats are best accompanied by the restaurant’s brilliant, fruity cocktails. Vogue Lounge is without a doubt the city’s most stylish address and excels in all categories.
2. L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon
Restaurant, French, European, Fusion, Contemporary
Address: 5th Floor, MahaNakhon CUBE, 96 Narathiwas Ratchanakharin Rd, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok, Thailand
3. J’AIME by Jean-Michel Lorain
Restaurant, French, European, Fusion
When the extraordinarily talented Chef Jean-Michel Lorain opened his dazzling restaurant J’aime at U Sathorn in Bangkok, it became the first restaurant in the city to house a three-Michelin-starred chef. The refined setting with an underlying upside-down theme creates a particularly unique and enchanting ambiance. After managing his successful Côte Saint Jacques restaurant in Burgundy, Lorain has sought to replicate his menu while also extending it, adhering to classical cooking from France, balanced by modern accents.
4. Savelberg
Restaurant, French, Fusion, Contemporary
The premiere chef Henk Savelberg has closed down his famous Hague restaurant to bring his culinary vision to Bangkok, where he has been working tirelessly to perfect his dishes. The stylish restaurant is decorated with large windows and minimalist elements, giving it a spark of elegance without too much pretension. The menu is dominated by French influences and the food arrives perefectly presented. The restaurant has a reputation for relying on local produce as much as possible and Savelberg is always around to ensure the high standards of his kitchen are upheld. Savelberg is arguably already one of the most notable venues in the Michelin restaurant scene and is taking Bangkok by storm.
