Chef's Table by Lebua

We came for the "Hangover 2" nostalgia, but it became one of the best culinary experiences ! Like many travellers, we were drawn to the Lebua at State Tower because we wanted to see that legendary rooftop bar from the movie. And be assured - starting the night at Sky Bar with a sunset cocktail experience was the perfect "Bangkok moment"—the views are just as dizzying and dramatic as they look on screen. However, the real magic happened when we moved to the 61st floor for dinner at Chef’s Table. The panoramic views of the city skyline are breathtaking, but the atmosphere inside is surprisingly intimate and refined. Chef Vincent Thierry gave us such a warm welcome and actually joined us at the table several times throughout the night to explain the story behind his modern French tasting menu. It felt less like a stiff fine-dining meal and more like being hosted by a master in his own home - we were even invited into the open kitchen to see the magic happen firsthand. Every course was a total delight. It started with Chef spooning the most incredible homemade butter (churned from local Khao Yai cream!) directly onto our plates, and just kept soaring from there. The King Crab Tiramisu was a revelation, and the Challans Duck Breast and scallops were cooked to absolute perfection. To top it all off, they rolled out an incredibly impressive cheese trolley that would make any turophile weep with joy. If you’re looking for a world-class meal with a view to match, this is the place!

flavour explosion since canapés with live piano for ambience . I went for the 5 course seasonable menu(with no wine pairing) and glad that I did . This is testament to their awards . Service is exceptional as expected of a 2-star Michelin . There was (pleasant) surprise after surprise (which I will not disclose). I took the offer for an interactive experience which allowed access to the kitchen bench to watch the magic happen (plating). I am glad to go easy on the bread for dessert room. The sommelier was patient and offered lovely recommendations for a champagne and red . I look forward to returning to try the signature menu. Definitely a special experience .

Every dish was prepared with care from start to end. Loved the different combinations of flavours and textures. Not usually a dessert person but my favorite dish of the night was actually the kiwi dessert because of how refreshing it was. From the mains, I loved the ceviche.
