PATARA - THAI FINE DINING

I keep discovering new eateries in Bangkok since my Wandee cooking school days in 2010 and Patara is one more, a very good one in fact.  It is without doubt the custodian of 'Thai fine dining' in my book.  Patara is international, with outposts already in Geneva, London, Singapore, Beijing and Vienna .... visit http://www.patarathailand.com/ to learn more, she has a fascinating story to tell.

Created by the co-founders of S&P, a highly successful food business in the Kingdom, Patara's aims are; fabulous tastes, culinary presentations and atmosphere a la 70's ....which they would easily score full marks if a Michelin Inspector were brought in today.  Mrs. Sila-On Patara is famous and one can see why her flagship is so successful.  Tastefully decorated, against a Thai motif with modern interior design touches, the ambience immediately churns one's appetite.  The extensive menu may be classic Thai but one has to look, and look again when a dish is presented, before one can identify.  The attached picture of mangoes on sticky rice is a case in point.

Located at a magnificient old house in the upscale Thong Lo neighborhood just off the BTS station, Patara can arrange a luxury tuk-tuk to pick up guests.  This is a must try! I guarantee you will revise all your previous perceptions on Thai restaurants after dining at Patara.
