Not worth its Michelin star: Restaurant L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon (29. December 2018)
As I haven’t been to the L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in any city so far but have only heard good things about it. And also because the Gaggan and the Nahm had been booked out already, I decided to give the L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Bangkok a shot. I went for the “tasting menu […]

An absolutely lovely experience with really local Thai food: Food Joints @ Festival (29. December 2018)
When you randomly tumble into a festival which goes on for forty days a year and is basically run by the Royal Family and all the earnings go into charity, you can call yourself lucky. Especially when you did not know it takes place and wonder why there is so much police and why there […]

Good but somehow overrated as not traditional Thai anymore: Restaurant La Table de Tee (28. December 2018)
This restaurant was also recommended in the guide ‘Where Chefs Eat‘. However, it seems like the place has changed quite a bit since they were originally discovered. In the book they are talking about a restaurant which serves 7 to 8 typical Thai courses. Well, there is not too much visible of that anymore. They […]

Amazing view onto Wat Arun: Amorosa Bar @ Arun Residence (28. December 2018)
The Amorosa Bar was recommended to me by a close friend – and I must say it is a good recommendation. It is not as touristic (although the majority of people actually were tourists) as other places (like the Sky Bar) and if you are lucky and come at the right time you get to […]

Overrated location and average drinks: Restaurant Zuma @ The St. Regis Bangkok (27. December 2018)
Although the Zuma is a place you find kind of all over the world, I have never been to a Zuma restaurant anywhere in the world. Given, the Zuma restaurant was located on the ground floor of The St. Regis where I was staying, it was time to give it a shot. I went for […]

Probably the best fried chicken – I mean garlic: Restaurant Soi Solo Fried Chicken (27. December 2018)
One of my favorite books (well, nowadays, apps), called ‘Where Chefs Eat‘, recommended the Solo Fried Chicken as one of the places were you get the best fried chicken. Now, given it was in walking distance from the hotel, I just absolutely had to try it. And it was worth trying. Not sure it was […]

Great St. Regis breakfast worth indulging in: Restaurant Viu @ The St. Regis Bangkok (27. – 30. December 2018)
The Restaurant Viu is located on the 12th floor (which is also the reception floor) of The St. Regis and the place you get your breakfast from. As always, The St. Regis breakfast is just a dream come true. They have all the regular stuff you’d expect from any hotel like a bunch of fresh […]

Perfect relaxation location to enjoy a couple of drinks: The Drawing Room @ The St. Regis Bangkok (26. December 2018)
When you are staying at The St. Regis in Bangkok as an SPG Platinum member, you get a voucher a day to attend ‘The Drawing Room’ instead of lounge access (as there is no lounge) and they serve you some small snacks plus a drink at your gusto (from a preselected list). As every St. […]
