    Namsaah rah-rah

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 04/07/2014

    » Once again, Chef Ian Kittichai comes to the fore with a daring and contemporary new outing in Silom. As the country’s highest profile chef, he draws attention with whatever he does, and for good reason. This instalment is no exception, particularly with the calibre of the team on board. Situated in a 100-year-old house in the back of Silom, the restaurant makes full use of the space with its high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms full of traditional Thai colours, and on-point decor in every nook. What’s not to like? There’s even a generously over-sized bar downstairs with one of the city’s better bartenders behind it in Justin Dunne, formerly of Ku De Ta-ness and Bed among other things. It makes that part of the house for drinking, with upstairs for eating in a well-measured division. The only variable might be F&B, so let’s see?

    Raising the bar

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 24/01/2014

    » Nested in Athenee Place near Phloenchit, the champagne-tinged lounge bar acts like a sun room annex for Athenee Tower that looms above. The glass walls and roof afford it the best of the afternoon light, and a cosy atmosphere in the evening. The slender room is adorned with a long bar (unsurprisingly) and is bookended by an outdoor section and service area from where the culinary goodness emerges. The story is that the existing bar was splashed with an orange colour, even before a certain champagne pairing had been considered, so it was an easy match that evolved naturally. The venue piggy-backs the success of coupled and famed French restaurant Le Beaulieu from praised haute cuisiner Chef Herve Frerard that was established in the same building just over a year ago. The crowd is made up of well-heeled locals and Le Beaulieu faithfuls. Leave your flip flops at home for this one.

    Down by the river

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 28/02/2014

    » So it turns out that Bangkok does have some old warehouses to convert into cool stuff. The latest is Sheepshank Public House, fashioned out of an old shipbuilding yard right on the river at Phra Athit (just a stone’s throw from Khao San). For the conversion, they’ve tacked on a new river-facing facade in the theme of the old factory with pretty good results. Inside, the slender-but-lofty room adorned with industrial light fittings, exposed bricks and some old machinery is space for around 30 pax, who can enjoy the river and sunset views. It’s intimate while being spacious enough, with just enough rustic authenticity to work.
