Live The French Way

Bienvenue à Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit – a luxury 5-star hotel boasting enticing gastronomic works of art in the heart of Bangkok’s bustling Asok district. Just minutes away from several of the city’s megamalls, renowned nightlife, and Nana and Asok Skytrain stations, the 345-key hotel serves as a luxuriously convenient base from which to explore Bangkok. Customary to the Sofitel brand, the hotel draws inspiration from local culture and tradition while also celebrating innovation and that undeniably French je ne sais quoi to offer so much more than a place to rest your head.

L'EXPÉRIENCE CULINAIRE

The hotel recently opened the capital’s first Belgian restaurant, Belga Rooftop Bar & Brasserie, on the 32nd floor overlooking the city from its rooftop bar and seating. Here diners can dive into authentic and modern Belgian dishes, such as classic moules et frites, that are made even more delicious thanks to some extra special touches. The Frites Maison, for instance, use premium imported Monalisa potatoes that are triplecooked then paired with a freshly-mixed mayonnaise made table-side by the house’s Maître Mayonnaise who seasons the mayo to taste with options that include spicy Tom Yam and black truffle. Forty different Belgian beers, including eleven draught beers – four of which are only available at Belga in Bangkok – plus a selection of wine and spirits, round out the menu to help wash down your meal. The restaurant is open daily from 17:00-1:00 hours.

Back closer to earth, the hotel’s all-day dining venue on the 2nd floor, voilà!, is known for being home to some of Bangkok’s most popular buffets. Here buffet dining gets the royal treatment with live cooking stations preparing dishes to your taste plus pass around delights served tableside and handmade ice cream and other delectable temptations from the dessert station. The all-new buffet dinner, for instance, features pizzas, pastas, cold cuts and main course dishes inspired by the Mediterranean’s diverse flavours and ingredients.

Recent additions to the lauded voilà! Sunday Brunch include premium Kampo Wagyu beef from Japan scorched with Himalayan salt and served with a ponzu dressing, as well as beef carpaccio with cucumber, ginger and shallots. Brunch also goes well beyond the meal. All brunch diners enjoy complimentary access to the Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit swimming pool and children can enjoy the enhanced Kids’ Corner with a mini buffet, supervised games and craft activities.

Just want a quick bite or sweet treat? With an outdoor terrace overlooking Sukhumvit Road on the ground floor, Le Macaron gourmet café and French bakery offers a convenient stop for both guests and passersby to grab a light meal or pick up a pastry to go. Open daily from 7:00- 23:00 hours, the all-day café also offers an afternoon tea and follows the French tradition of le goûter, an after-school snack, with a gourmet twist. Welcome the evening with a glass of Champagne with friends or specially priced Buy 1 Get 1 Free pastries, baguettes and sandwiches.
