Le Normandie, Bangkok, Thailand

A truly beautiful setting, especially at night with the restaurant overlooking the river. The starters were excellent and the servers were warm and friendly throughout. One thing to note on the tasting flow: the portions start small but build as the courses go, so you fill up faster than you expect and it can get hard to fully enjoy the main course by the time it arrives. The wine menu had great variety and we really enjoyed working through it. The table spacing deserves a mention too, every table had enough room to feel private without sitting on top of your neighbors. The food quality is genuinely high end, though for the price it does lean expensive in my opinion. The highlight was the end of the evening. We ended up being the last guests in the restaurant, and the servers were so lovely that they brought out all of their desserts for us to taste, even ones off the menu. A really special touch to close the night. Definitely an experience worth trying.

I had a good lunch with a stunning view overlooking the river at one of the city’s historic hotels. The experience was elevated by an excellent restaurant manager and deputy manager, whose professionalism I truly appreciated. I liked the personal touch of the chef coming out to greet the guests. My favorite dish was the wagyu beef and lobster, which were the best of the menu. The rest was good but nothing outstanding especially the signature dish. The salad with the quenelle does not function together and I remain undecided about the mille feuilles interpretation.

The service was excellent, truly worthy of a five-star hotel. The view from the restaurant was stunning. What was truly disappointing was the food, especially considering the restaurant holds two Michelin stars. The flavors of each course were very unusual, from the appetizers to the desserts. For the main course, I chose beef, and the beef itself was excellent—very tender and melt-in-your-mouth. However, the sauce and accompanying elements were not good at all. In conclusion, everything was great except the food.

The cuisine was wonderful. And, the dessert! The lotus-shaped millefeuille was out of this world! Female stars , French and Japanese (amazing mix) chefs make culinary music that go way beyond expectations. Definitely for special occasions and also if wanting to taste and not just to impress, this is it. Ps - I came to lunch and it was perfect

Brilliant meal and an affordable entry point for 2 Michelin stars. Food was exceptionally high quality - porion sizes on the smaller side (even for french Michelin) Great wine list - you pay a premium though
