This exquisite social experience from Chefs Andreas and Marcel is priced at THB 4,500++ per person, plus THB 2,800++ for the optional wine pairing.
A perfectionist and a pioneer, Chef Andreas pays homage to the palate with every dish. “Eating shall be a journey involving all senses, leaving a lingering impression,” according to Chef Andreas Caminada’s philosophy (www.andreascaminada.com).
