Nan Bunyasaranand is both the owner and executive chef at this happening Thonglor eatery, which is a hip gastro bar that serves contemporary French and American comfort food, with locals packing it in each night. The warm interior, with wood floors and amber mood lighting, resembles a 1920s New York hangout, and is enough to make you want to come in and relax, but you're here for more than the decor. Dishes like pumpkin and goat cheese tart, black truffle pork cheek penne, and cheeseburger sliders are just a fraction of the tapas sized sharing plates that are meant for friends, and you'll continue to be social with the list of excellent innovative drinks that accompany the food. Chef Nan's stint at the Culinary Institute of America shows up in all aspects of the restaurant, and most of the clientele here are not showing up for just the first time.
