LE NORMANDIE BY ALAIN ROUX
MANDARIN ORIENTAL, BANGKOK
Renowned chef Alain Roux helms Le Normandie, one of Thailand's finest French restaurants at the hotel, which has embodied French elegance on the banks of the Chao Praya since 1958. Roux also runs The Waterside Inn restaurant outside London, which has held three Michelin stars for an astonishing 38 years. Dishes at the two Michelin-starred Le Normandie include medallions of pan-fried Canadian lobster with ginger-flavoured vegetables julienne and a white port sauce, or roasted rack of Lozère lamb with a rosemary scented jus. An exceptional wine list, warm and discreet service, and magnificent views of the River of Kings all add to the experience before you retreat to your suites, which define Asian luxury hospitality like few others.
