Chief: Gaggan Anand
Must Try: “Lick it Up”
Price: Tasting menu approx. € 380,- without wine accompaniment
What the Indian chef Gaggan Anand served here, he calls - not very modestly, but aptly - “Food Opera”. The dining experience is correspondingly theatrical. Guests can look forward to a multi-sensory journey. Gaggan incorporates light, smell, taste, music and even haptics into his presentation. While Indian echoes omnipresent, every course surprises with its uniqueness. No wonder, as the restaurant is the best restaurant in Thailand in 2024, at least according to the “World’s 50 Best” Experts.

Chef: Hiroyasu Kawate
Must Try: Beef Carpaccio from Miyazaki cows
Price: Dinner Tasting Menu without wine accompaniment from about € 125
Letztes Jahr noch auf Platz 7 konnte auch das “Florilège” Plätze gut machen. Zusätzlich zu den two Michelin stars gibt’s nun auch Silber unter den besten Restaurants in Asien 2024. Die Küche ist seit kurzem weniger fleisch- und seafoodlastig aber immer noch French inspired. Kawate serviert, was man wohl “plant forward” nennt. Gäste essen an einem langen Tisch gemeinsam – so wird das Dinner zum sozialen Erlebnis.
