La Vue Restaurant Bangkok

FOOD:

The elements of Phuket lobster roasted and flambeed with rum and vanilla, lime avocado cream, hollandaise and orange sauce are delightfully presented as a fun starter. A nice variation on surf and turf is marinated scallops and roasted Australian veal carpaccio, fresh spinach and cauliflower. La Vue's grilled meats are a good choice, including roasted US rack of lamb with garlic, Italian parsley and parmesan crust, garlic confit, shallot flavoured with cinnamon and potato cake. The perfectly cooked meat is flavourful without being gamey. Sauteed Australian wagyu beef tenderloin, rossini-style with black truffle, pan-seared foie gras, madeira wine sauce and celeriac root mash is the perfect dish for those wanting a rich meat overdose. Passion fruit parfait with bitter chocolate cream looks good on the plate, but could use more passion fruit flavour and less sweetness.

SETTINGS:

The 25th-floor view through ceiling-to-floor windows is spectacular from a room with sassy pop art decor and air-con on full blast. Staff is a tad nervous, but pleasantly attentive.
