LOCATION In the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, on the Chao Phraya River.
DETAILSThe restaurant’s environs emit a decadent glow – produced by a combination of glistening chandeliers, butter yellow silks and brimming vases of vibrant flowers. Dulcet live piano music clinches the scene, creating an atmosphere of antiquated splendour.
FOOD AND BEVERAGELe Normandie’s kitchen has hosted a parade of highly trained French master chefs, many of whom have Michelin stars under their belts. Consequently the carte du jour is both traditional and dynamic, infused with diverse touches of culinary genius from all over France. Seasonal delicacies include goose liver, Brittany lobster, frogs’ legs and guinea fowl. The wine cellar is impressively comprehensive. The restaurant offers a four or six course set menu with optional wine pairings, or guests can select from an a la carte menu. Lobster in a Jerusalem artichoke and flat parsley broth with sundried tomatoes and parmesan ravioli is a sneak preview of the set menu. Le Normandie continues to command the status of Bangkok’s consummate luxury dining venue.
