Le Normandie

For that rare special romantic evening, a dinner at suave Le Normandie is at the top of the Bangkok dining scene. This classy French restaurant on the top floor of The Oriental Hotel is a Bangkok institution and had been awarded two stars by the Bangkok Michelin Guide. Fois gras and roasted Sisteron rack of lamb are just some of the menu highlights prepared by the visiting French master chefs in residence here, all taken in amidst elegance with views of the Chao Phraya River to boot. While dinner here is an absolute bank breaker, the set lunch provides a way for paupers to dine like princes and indulge in Bangkok's most sophisticated restaurant. A three course set menu goes for the steal of 1050 baht and introduces you to some world class cuisine.
