Scallops
Ivy 47 Restaurant & Bar is a great destination for food lovers, located at the heart of Bangkok, which is not far from Thonglor and Phrom Phong station. 

From the coordination of 2 men who have an identical passion to present their culinary journey, Tristan Do is a French-Thai footballer of Thai National Football Team and Sam Nordine, a former colleague and football player himself. Ivy 47 prides itself on offering modern French food with high quality. So, This restaurant is welcoming many target groups because of various functions in one place. 

The casual atmosphere with great decoration as the warm and cosy western house. Upon entering, we noticed a combination between a French cuisine restaurant on the First floor, a modern decor bar on the second floor and the green garden outside for chillaxing. 

A special meal began with fresh Salmon Tartar (550 THB) is combined Scottish salmon tartar, yuzu ponzu and truffle dressing, soya and apple jelly, wasabi mayonnaise and guacamole. Another dish seems basic name but its taste so fabulous, Scallops (650 THB) imported from Hokkaido serving with sunchoke and chorizo foam. Let’s take the customary photo but think about the hashtag later.

Rib Room & Bar Chef Philippe in top form

Guest review by Bangkok Beefsteak & Burgundy
We always look forward to the lunch at Rib Room & Bar, 31 floors above bustling (or grid-locked) Sukhumvit, and once again Executive Chef Philippe Gaudal did not disappoint. Tasty canapés served by charming hostesses put us immediately into the right mood along with 2017 Alemany Corrio Cargol Treu Vi (Penedes, Catalonia), made with the local grape Xarel-Lo.
 
John MacTaggart, food spokesman, did an excellent job as ever with descriptions of the savoury beef roll and jelly, beetroot marinated salmon on pumpernickel, and “L’escargot dans l’escargot”. Brendon Winter, our wine spokesman, was not quite as fulsome with his praise of the Xarel-Lo, his opinion with which I concurred.
 
Dining in earnest started with a colourful presentation of Duck confit “Pâté en croûte”, red onion jam, pickle, and mustard seed sauce. John loved the pastry crust and the pâté, and its accoutrements. Promised by Thomas Boedinger (our wine Fuhrer) to be a contentious choice, this was served with 2015 Claus Preisinger Pinot Noir (Austria) which Brendon came to like more as the lunch proceeded and the wine warmed up. Beef consommé, braised oxtail and porcini came next. I personally would like to see consommé more often on our tables and this was a fine example of how it should be prepared. It came with 2012 Cederberg Cabernet Sauvignon (South Africa) which proved to have been an excellent find “from a bin-end”.
 
Begrudgingly but truly in jest, Kiwi Brendon said it was “not bad”, easy on the nose, with a great body – exactly as many African ladies have been blessed.

The Cocotte Experience

Cocotte Farm Roast & Winery is more than a rotisserie, it is a French experience in a rural chic setting, in downtown Bangkok. Driven by passion, their food has taken Bangkok by storm. We came one fine evening to be their guest…
 
Cocotte serves a wide range of cheese from France - Truffle Brie de Meaux, Truffle Gouda & Tomme de Savoie to name just a few.  So it was only natural that we started with the Farmer Board - a selection of three cheeses and three cold cuts. The perfect ‘warm up’ for the gourmet meal ahead.

Next up was the Burrata X Parma and boy, was it divine. Nothing beats having burrata with fresh heirloom tomatoes. Add on the parma ham, and this salad dish is a meal in itself. The Tartare ‘Au Couteau’ soon graced our table. This Angus Beef tartare is topped with decadent slices of truffle. Just from looking at it, one can comprehend why this is a Cocotte Signature Dish. Tartare lovers - pay attention, this is a must-have. The dish is served with a side of hot, crispy, homemade French fries. We also had a chance to sample their famous roast chicken from the rotisserie. We adore the presentation, truly rustic!
Picture
Before long, conversations flowed freely and we anticipated the imminent arrival of the other Cocotte signature, their Tomahawk. With pre-marination up to 24 hours in pepper & salt, this Rangers Valley Wagyu Beef from Australia comes in various cuts from 1.4 kg to 2 kg. We will take this any day with just a sprinkle of salt, but if you prefer having a sauce to dip in, choices are Béarnaise, Szechuan Pepper, Blue Cheese and the Thai favourite, Tamarind Chilli.

The mighty Tomahawk has a marbling score of six and we savoured this slowly, our memorable beef moment!

The restaurant was packed that evening. Most tables were friends having a good time over a great meal. The camaraderie and air of merriment were palpable. And this is what makes Cocotte so special, and why we will be back (next dinner, we will plan better so we have the space for their Cocotte Tiramisu, Lemon Mint Tart & Paris-Brest). Cocotte is located on Sukhumvit 39.


Opening hours:
11am – 3pm, 6 – 10.30pm on weekdays

Grandmother’s Recipes the flavour of the month at Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit’s signature all day dining restaurant
VOILÀ!, a French exclamation used to express satisfaction or approval, is an apt moniker for Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit’s signature all day dining restaurant. Especially during dinner, when the gourmet buffet line includes a selection of classic comfort food from France, Spain, and Thailand created under the theme of ‘Grandmother’s Recipes.’

Siam@Siam Design Hotel offers one of the best value Sunday Brunches in Bangkok
WE’VE long had a soft spot for Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok, mainly because the staff is always so darn good (you can count on genuinely friendly service from bell hop to rooftop bar) but also because the management seems intent on offering some of the best value dining deals in town.

Le Bouchon

A small corner of France in the heart of Bangkok, Le Bouchon restaurant in Patpong is a legend
ASK any long-term expatriate to name their favourite regular dining venue, and Le Bouchon will be high on the list. It’s one of those incredibly friendly and very comfortable restaurants where everybody seems to know each other, the menu is always interesting, the price is right and the unmistakably French atmosphere genial and welcoming.

OVERSEEING seven restaurants, a convention center, outside catering, and other F&B operations, Eric Berrigaud, Executive Chef of Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao, is a busy man. But he’s never short of inspiration and passion for his craft.            

There’s plenty of evidence of this at Blue Sky, the hotel’s signature rooftop restaurant, where he’s just introduced a new menu featuring a modern take on French bistro favourites.

Chandon Sunday Brunch at J’AIME by Jean-Michel Lorain

Gourmet cuisine and free-flow Champagne result in an exquisite dining experience

LET’S get this straight. Sunday Brunch at J’AIME by Jean Michel Lorain is not your run of the mill affair. No buffet, no din, no waiting in line at live cooking stations. Instead, all the food is brought directly to you at your table – starting with an exquisite selection of small plates and cold cuts, homemade breads and pastries, and Caesar salad, followed by an unlimited choice of mains, and then a selection of signature desserts.

Homely dining with a touch of class at Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit
THE concept goes something like this: A wealthy French expat has gone away on business and, during his absence, has left his trendy Penthouse Suite in the care of his nephew, a twentysomething entrepreneur with a taste for the finer things in life – good food, fine wine, premium cocktails, and crackling conversation inspired by art, design and literature. He wants to impress his friends – and, here, that means you.

Stone-grill restaurant ups its game with new menu of gourmet French favourites
SET over three levels on top of the Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok, The Roof restaurant has done a sizzling trade the past few years with its stone-grill menus – an interactive dining experience which sees patrons cooking meats and seafood on super-heated natural volcanic stones directly at their tables. But don’t think this alfresco venue with superb views is all about grilling and broiling and sputtering steaks – gourmet French fare is now also at the forefront.
