Culinary Experience
KWANN’s ethos is a delicate fusion where heritage meets contemporary treatment and highlights the finest Thai local products, offering a sumptuous array of dishes that seamlessly blend tradition and modernity as live fire, charcoal, and smoking techniques breathe life into every dish. From reimagined classics to daring creations, each plate tells a story infused with Thai soul, bringing back the basics of Thai cooking style and old recipes. All compiled in a delightful, fun, and lively menu that is rich in food with soul from glowing coal.
Offering an à la carte and a Chef’s choice tasting menu, KWANN’s dishes combine ingredients in skillful ways that create memorable flavor profiles and follow the Thai tradition of food sharing as a form of giving. Must-try dishes include Crab Beignets served with a well-balanced Southern Curry Sauce and accompanied by betel leaf. For starters, Roasted Thai Wagyu Beef Tongue Nam Tok Style Salad, tossed with fresh herbs and toasted rice, offers a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. From the grill, Kwann’s Style Roasted Duck served with in-house hoisin sauce and seasonal accompaniments featuring succulent smoked. Available in both half and full portions, this dish will take guests on a journey through the vibrant spices of Thailand. Nam Prik Ta Deang Hed Yang (Spicy Grilled Mushroom Relish), a fiery grilled mushroom relish accompanied by seasonal fruits and vegetables. To close on a high note, KWANN’s Khanom Mor Gaeng Basque Cheesecake with Smoked Coconut Ice Cream, a dessert that tells a story of flavor and texture by combining traditional Thai ingredients with indulgent richness.
The experience is complemented by a carefully selected beverage offering, including homemade fermentations, a smoked cocktails trolley where guests can choose their favorite smoke flavor and technique that will be infused in a delicious concoction, local sato rice beers, and a volcanic wine list.

About Chef Joe - Napol Jantraget
Napol 'Joe' Jantraget, a culinary virtuoso from Bangkok, Thailand, honed his skills at Liaison College and Niagara College, Canada.

Rooted in southern Thai traditions, Joe earned his second Michelin star in 2023 for his contemporary restaurant, NAWA where he seamlessly blends modern culinary techniques with the luscious flavors of central Thai cuisine.
