Transcend the definition of conventional food with innovative and inspiring menus.
In addition to authentic cuisine, Bangkok is also a city full of creativity where both Thai and international chefs combine their personal experiences with traditional cooking techniques to create a menu called innovative cuisine, which involves experimenting with new ingredients, unfamiliar seasonings, and creative plating to create a unique dining experience. For example, using molecular cooking techniques, using liquid nitrogen, cooking food with low heat, or even presenting food in a way that is different from the original format, making each dish a living and meaningful work of art.
Tatler has rounded up some of the best innovative fine dining restaurants in Bangkok.
