AVANT

AVANT holds one Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Bangkok. The restaurant is on the 30th floor of the Kimpton Maalai Hotel on Soi Ton Son, a quiet residential street in the Ratchaprasong area of central Bangkok. The hotel is part of the IHG/Kimpton group; AVANT is its flagship dining room, serving modern cuisine with a seasonal tasting menu format.

AVANT cuisine and style

AVANT’s menu is built around seasonal produce and changes regularly. The cooking is contemporary international with French influence, presented as a multi-course tasting experience. The 30th floor location provides city views and an intimate scale — the restaurant operates with a limited number of covers.

Wine pairing is available alongside the tasting menu. Expect 3,500 THB or more per person before drinks. Reservations are essential.

Why visit AVANT
