Blue Elephant Restaurant Bangkok

FOOD:

Blue Elephant pays special attention to its ingredients, with options for free-range chicken and organic local vegetables and herbs. Start with understated rice field catfish and prawn salad, a delightful blend of light and crispy fried fish and prawns, tossed with organic lemongrass and ginger in a spicy sauce. Try tamarind duck, a simple but satisfying dish of tender breast meat cooked to a lovely pink in the middle and topped with Petchaboon province golden sweet tamarind sauce, served with deep-fried, dark green kale. Massaman lamb, famously referenced in a King Rama II boat song, offers diners a familiar but unforgettable Thai dish-rich coconut soup with fork-tender lamb and potatoes. For dessert, sample Thai fruit sherbets, which are surprisingly creamy and sweet.

SETTINGS:

In an opulent, multi-storey, colonial-era building, Blue Elephant, which has branches around the world, embraces everything essentially Thai. Gilded mythic creatures and fronds adorn the walls, and Thai classical music plays in the background. The ambience is sumptuous and serene.
