The Artisans Ayutthaya

It was a last minute decision when we decided to go to Ayutthaya and we looked for where to eat, we found The Artisans. We made a reservations via Line and they confirmed right away. When we got there, they took our order first and then they had us seated. We wanted to sit by the river but they said it is too hot outside so we just obeyed. We ordered the wagyu curry with fan leaves (I wasnt sure what that was until I googled it is cannabis) and the shrimp salad. Both were a little spicy for our liking but we couldn’t do anything about it since we already ordered, I guess we should have asked while ordering. Both of which is good. For dessert, we just want mango sticky rice. The sticky rice was warm and the mango is ripe. For the price point, we would appreciate a little more conversation about what we ordered and not just putting it on the table. When we checked out, the seats outside as we were walking out, we saw some people sitting there. Would have been nice to have that option, we really wanted to sit outside. Aesthetic of the place is stunning. The plates and food presentation is instagrammable. Flavor wise, it was flavorful but the heat of the food took away the flavor and all we can taste is the heat.

Nothing was disappointing. Every dish was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The attention to detail, from the fresh ingredients to the stunning plating, made the whole experience feel truly special. Definitely worth the value.

This place has excellent service, and a cosy vibe. Food was generally good except the chicken massamam which was too sweet. Only giving a 4* because of the odd concept where we have to order at the reception instead of at the table. Guests would feel more welcomed if we are allowed to settle down at our tables first before ordering the food.
