Before our latest visit, we have a tendency to were making ready to possess to throw around imprecise terms like ‘contemporary western’ or ‘European with a twist’. However, when attempting their fresh introduced seasonal menu (2,900 tical for 5 courses), there’s not most want. It’s basically French culinary art, with lots of the classics creating associate degree look like pate de foie gras, lobster, scallops and columbiform bird.

Amazing! The second dish, a cooked Canadian scallop, is simply as spectacular in look, served in its shell atop a bed of ocean salt. sturdy flavours from the yuzu sake and smooth-shaven truffle ar definitely gift – however the top result's merely not as satisfying because the remainder of the evening’s menu.

Things quickly develop once more with the Norwegian lobster, that is served surf n’ turf vogue with a skinny shaving of strong, tender bacon. Having Norwegian lobster in Kingdom of Thailand is usually a rare treat; fortunately the meat here is succulent, fresh, and therefore the cream cauliflower and parsley sauce retains the sturdy food flavour. A fruity, virtually apply Chablis (Patrick Clergot AOC, Burgundy 2013) is served as a part of the wine paring, that was wonderful all night.
