IN a city where restaurants come and go with an alarming speed, Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao Bangkok’s signature Vietnamese restaurant has stood the test of time. Centara Grand Ladprao Bangkok’s award-winning Vietnamese restaurant offers a selection of exotic creations with an emphasis on the natural goodness and nutritional value of the ingredients. The restaurant serves authentic Vietnamese food and while the French influence is apparent in many dishes served at Le Danang, many dishes are kept true to tradition. |
Signature dishes Carefully chosen for the occasion by Chef Suparb Sawansuk, the signature dishes combined Vietnamese and French dining experiences to present a modern taste of Indochina.
