Thani Bangkok unveils new dining concept at its famed rooftop venue
Bangkok, 2 December 2014 – Overlooking
the green expanse of Lumpini Park and the glittering Bangkok city skyline,
Dusit Thani Bangkok launches its newest restaurant, 22 Kitchen and Bar, at its
famed panoramic rooftop venue.
The
new restaurant offers diners a menu based on Pacific coastal cuisine, led by
Chef Nikolas Ramirez, formerly of El Encanto by Orient Express and the Wine
Cask, both in California, USA.
The
menu reflects his personal and professional history as a native Hawaiian with
Latin roots and classic culinary training.
The US state of Hawaii boasts its own unique history of culinary
influence from its Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Portuguese immigrant
communities, and these influences can readily be seen in the Chef’s dishes such
as: Scallop Carpaccio with Corn and
Avocado Salsa; Heart of Palm Fettuccine with Brown Butter, Sage and Winter
Squash; Lobster Bouillabaisse with Miso Ramen Gnocchi and Salt-crusted River Fish with Peruvian
Paella and Serrano Chili.
Alongside
the vibrant new menu, the bar boasts a cocktail list of high-end exotic drinks,
full of colour and fresh flavours in keeping with the restaurant’s laid-back
style. The inventive drinks are served on a built-in, wooden-top bar counter
overlooking the park, where guests can also enjoy a selection of sweet or
savory tapas. Surrounding the bar are plush, low lounge chairs and tables set
at the perfect height for diners to sink in and enjoy the uninterrupted city
views.
The
restaurant’s décor has also been refreshed to complement the new culinary
direction. Textured, iridescent silver walls allow the beautiful turquoise
banquettes, which run the length of the restaurant, take centre stage. Shades
of subtle creams, rich browns and warm copper tones are peppered throughout,
with reclaimed wood table tops and metallic table accents completing the elegant
yet cosy vibe.
With
80 seats and a private room for 14, the restaurant makes a perfect venue for
almost any occasion, from casual after-work drinks to small business functions
or special nights out between couples or groups of friends.
22
Kitchen & Bar is open daily from 16:00 to midnight, with dinner service
starting from 18:00. For more information or reservations, contact +66 (0) 2200
