Bangkok’s most celebrated French dining room enters a bold new era this month as Le Normandie reopens on Sept 20 under chef Anne-Sophie Pic.
Chef Pic, who has the most number of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world under a female chef, will enter an exciting chapter that combines the restaurant’s heritage with her distinctive artistry.
This is chef Pic’s first restaurant in Thailand. Expect cuisine delicately layered flavours, unexpected pairings, and a delicate refinement that defines her style. Guided by her philosophy, “Suffusion”, each dish creates harmony between ingredients through aromatic connections, for a dining experience that feels intimate yet inventive.
“I believe cuisine is a universal language — a space where cultures meet,” says chef Pic. “Opening a new chapter at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, an icon of elegance and refinement, is a thrilling adventure. I look forward to creating an experience where French gastronomy engages in a dialogue with the vibrant energy of Thai culture.”
