Holiday Time, Published on 25/12/2017
» For years now, Saffron, located on the 52nd floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel in the heart of the Sathorn business district, has been a leader among high-end Thai restaurants.

» Before we talk about Saffron the restaurant, let's take a minute to talk about saffron the spice. This culinary wonder, with its distinctive, near-indescribable flavor, comes from the stigma of the crocus, and can fetch a price per gram greater than gold. And this seems to be a fitting metaphor for Saffron the restaurant, whose new Signature Set, priced at 2,150 Baht ++, takes those classic, familiar tastes of the Thai kitchen and elevates them to new heights of creative, contemporary presentation, and transforms the everyday into a unique delight. Not only available at Banyan Tree's flagship Sathorn Road location, diners will be able to experience the Signature Set -- a collaborative creation of Saffron chefs in Bangkok, Phuket, and Koh Samui, led by Saffron Bangkok's Chef Renu -- at all seven Banyan Tree locations, from Macau to Mexico.
