Hyde & Seek Restaurant Bangkok

FOOD:

Celebrity chef Ian Kittichai conceived the sophisticated yet satisfying comfort food offered here. Portions are sized to allow sampling and sharing. Popcorn shrimp is a guilty pleasure while waiting for your beer or cocktail. A showstopper starter is thicksauced baby back ribs that slide off the bone then melt in the mouth. Salad My Way, English or Not is a mouthful to say but enjoyable to eat mixing greens, lardons and cinnamon vinaigrette. Pulled kurobuta pork burger stands up to any US barbecue while wagyu yankee burger is a highbrow take on a humble dish. Slow-poached Atlantic salmon is a moist treat dressed with parmesan foam and asparagus for those who want lighter fare. Holy macaroni gratin rounds off the comfort food experience, but Valrhona chocolate pot and Mrs Smith's apple crumble are fantastic if there's still room.

SETTINGS:

A current hot spot where the hip and beautiful go, but with excellent Western food to back up the hype. The vibe inside is New York City bistro with a large bar dominating the room while outside is all about seeing and being seen on a candle-lit terrace.
