New Monthly Moules-Frites Night at VIVIN Suk 22 Launches With Valentine’s Special this 13th and 14th February An All-You-Can-Eat Mussels & Fries Experience for February

VIVIN, the restaurant-grocery brand synonymous with natural, local, and artisanal, is introducing a new recurring monthly special, a well-loved Belgian-French dish, “Moules-Frites.”

Moules-Frites is a classic Belgian-French dish of steamed mussels, typically cooked in white wine with garlic and herbs or beer. It’s served with crispy golden fries for dipping into the rich, aromatic broth, and enjoyed with a chilled beer.

This Valentine’s season, VIVIN Suk 22 at VIVIN Sukhumvit 22 invites guests to step away from predictable candle-lit dinners and into a more indulgent, convivial celebration of food. Moules-Frites Night at VIVIN Suk 22 will take place over two nights, Friday 13 (Valentine’s Eve) and Saturday 14 February (Valentine’s Day), from 6:00–9:00 PM.

Designed for couples, friends, and anyone who would rather savour Valentine’s Day over three hours of all-you-can-eat steaming pots of freshly prepared, hand-picked local Thai green mussels, the experience is paired with homemade, hand-cut fries made from local organic potatoes, fried in duck fat.

The event will be held across the second and third floors of VIVIN’s newest location, a renovated heritage wooden home that has quickly become a destination for cultural site lovers, featuring photogenic, cosy corners filled with Thai vintage artefacts.

Drawing inspiration from the traditional Belgian-French moules-frites, VIVIN’s version highlights quality sourcing and thoughtful preparation but with a Thai twist. The Mussels are served in traditional Thai baking pots “mhor ob” (หม้ออบ), accompanied by fries made from organic local potatoes, hand-cut and cooked in small batches in duck fat for depth and richness.

Guests may enjoy their mussels prepared in a selection of house styles, including:

• Mussels “Marinières” (white wine)

• Mussels “Marinières & crème” (white wine & cream)

• Beer-cooked mussels

  All recipes are prepared with sautéed onions, garlic, butter, parsley, and a subtle touch of Trang pepper, allowing the natural sweetness of the mussels to shine.

A Valentine’s Bonus

To mark the occasion, each couple (pair) booking will receive one complimentary local Thai craft beer, courtesy of Chiang Mai Beer, adding a celebratory touch to the evening.

While perfectly suited for Valentine’s Day, the event also welcomes non-Valentine’s Day diners, groups of friends, and anyone seeking a casual yet indulgent night out. With its communal format and generous servings, Valentine’s Moules-Frites Nights are designed to be festive rather than formal.

The response was overwhelmingly positive — with guests praising the cosy atmosphere, thoughtful setup, and VIVIN’s warm welcome to pets both indoors and outdoors.

“We were thrilled to see so many happy dogs and owners enjoying the space,” shared the VIVIN team. “Dog Day Afternoon is about community — creating a safe, joyful place for people and pets to connect.”

The next Dog Day Afternoon will take place on Saturday, 29 November 2025, continuing its mission to celebrate dogs, owners, and all things paw-some.

VIVIN Transforms Iconic House into Bangkok’s New Culinary-Retail Destination  “VIVIN  Suk 22″ – A unique grocery and restaurant concept rooted in local heritage

VIVIN, the Bangkok-based café-grocery-bistro brand known for its dedication to artisan, local, and natural products, proudly unveils its latest venture: VIVIN Suk 22 – café grocery bistro, set to soft launch in early September 2025, nestled within a remarkable all-wooden home that brings a legendary Bangkok address back to life. Once the soul of the much-loved Suk 11, this historic space has been lovingly reimagined as a destination for food lovers, cultural wanderers, and curious urban explorers.

After nearly five years of silence, the handcrafted wooden structure — rich with vintage charm, Thai antiques, and soulful design — returns with a new purpose, thanks to a serendipitous connection of the VIVIN founders and the original property’s owner, K.Somchet and his family. The meeting sparked a shared vision to restore the space with care, honouring its unique past while breathing in fresh culinary, creative energy with VIVIN’s touch of modernity.

“For years, we drove past this location and were always struck by the craftsmanship and energy of this space. How can there be an antique wooden house in the middle of the city centre?! says co-founder Nicolas Vivin. “It felt like walking into a forgotten Thai storybook and reminded me in some ways of my family’s Chalet in the French Alps, where I spent my childhood. It was impossible not to want to bring it to life again — with integrity, care, and purpose.”

Nicolas Vivin, The Founder

While the core VIVIN experience remains — showcasing natural, artisanal Thai products through its “shelf to plate” grocery, café, and bistro menus — what sets Suk 22 apart is the space itself. The house, constructed from reclaimed wood, including a wealth of aged teak, is filled with handpicked antiques, original fixtures, and photogenic corners that nod to the legacy of Suk 11. Blended with VIVIN’s European–French accents, some have even described it as a “Thai Chalet.” Guests can explore, dine, and shop within its warm wooden walls, absorbing the spirit of Bangkok’s past in a setting thoughtfully adapted for today.

The ground floor welcomes guests with their signature café-grocery vibes, besides an airy terrace with al-fresco seating nestled among luscious plants, a grocery of curated local delicacies, and ready-to-eat “Shelf to Plate” dishes such as Thai cheese platters, natural drinks, homemade sandwiches, and fluffy soufflé omelettes — all set against a backdrop of muted greens, black and white photos of VIVIN’s history set amongst Thai-Chinese eclecticism.

Upstairs, the second floor unfolds into a Thai speakeasy-library. A vintage-styled sanctuary with low beams, mood lighting, lamps, communal wooden tables, a collection of heirloom encyclopedias, nostalgic cookbooks, collectible art & design magazines, and a ready-to-go bar for private dinners, chef’s table, tastings, or workshops.

The third-floor mezzanine opens onto a leafy balcony lounge — a haven for art and music lovers overlooking Sukhumvit 22. Guests can enjoy both indoor air-conditioned comfort and outdoor seating amidst ferns and vintage ornaments, watching the city’s rhythm unfold below. With safari-inspired artefacts, jungle-print cushions, antique musical relics, and rotating seasonal artworks by local artists, the space offers a joyful, nostalgic garden-style ambiance — perfect for lingering over a bistro meal or simply unwinding in Bangkok’s vibrant heart.

VIVIN Suk 22 – café grocery bistro is not just another outlet — it’s a living memory, a culinary hideaway, and a layered experience that reflects Bangkok’s evolving identity. With its seamless blend of nostalgia and newness, the space invites guests to slow down, explore like in a museum, and enjoy good food in an environment that feels both rooted in history and refreshingly natural.
