La Bottega di Luca

Italian Renaissance art is widely recognized and appreciated around the world, but the importance of its artistic workshops or botteghe is often underestimated.  The bottega was a cooperative venture for producing the commissions of wealthy patrons or institutional clients.  It physically resembled a typical artist’s workshop, but was also a functioning shop where finished products were displayed. 

A bottega was established by a master artist or maestro dell’arte who accepted and trained young apprentices or garzoni for periods of several months to many years.  The garzoni performed menial tasks until they proved themselves talented enough to learn the art of their master by copying and collaborating on his works.  This system increased a master’s productivity and also resulted in the preservation and transfer of skills to the next generation of artists. 
This tradition was clearly in the mind of Luca Appino, a chef and entrepreneur from the Piemonte region of Italy, when he established La Bottega di Luca, an upscale Italian grocer that later morphed into his well-loved casual fine dining venue.  Over its 14-year history, La Bottega has seen hundreds of recipes created and products transformed by various chefs.  Marco Avesani, who is from Verona, recently became the latest Head Chef entrusted with building on this tradition of excellence.

In this new monthly column, The BigChilli celebrates restaurants in Thailand that excel in their design as well as their cuisine.

Dining in beautiful surroundings is regarded by many as a key element in their choice of restaurant for lunch or dinner. It sets and maintains the mood for a memorable dining experience – and is often the main reason for a return visit. The purpose of this new photo feature is therefore to pay homage to those owners who have invested in creating a Beautiful Restaurant for the pleasure of Bangkok’s diners.

Rendez-Vous au Lys
This Beautiful Restaurant, located in a leafy upmarket residential district of central Bangkok, serves French ‘bistro-style’ cuisine as well as Thai and European dishes. Occupying an old house, it offers diners two seating areas– on the patio with its classic French bar, or in the carefully landscaped tropical garden, full of mature trees and plants. The magic is in the restaurant’s ability to make you think you’re miles from Bangkok.
