Fine dining, gourmet dining, wine dinner – no matter what it's called, Bangkok offers many choices for us to savor and taste exquisite dinners on a grand scale. At Mezzaluna, the experience is just the perfect way to see off an industrious week and to welcome the weekend.
Located at the Lebua Hotel on the 65th floor of the State Tower, the Mezzaluna transports its guests to new and exhilarating journeys of culinary excellence.
Beautifully executed creations are served on tectonic plate ware in an elegant ambience enhanced by a live classical quartet.
It was this classical quartet that caught my attention as I walked back to the tower from the skybar. The sound of a few stringed instruments playing Mozart so effortlessly slowed my pace and as I looked up to where they were playing, I knew that must be the Mezzaluna.
It did not take much convincing before my friend and I found ourselves directed to a table by the window overlooking the majestic Menam Chao Phraya. Thus, our journey began.
We opted for the six course chef’s tasting menu, and as a prelude to the appetizer; we were offered a choice of sparkling or still water, mocktail, cocktail or a glass of wine. Of course, the hot towel was presented as well.
A pastiche of cucumber, yogurt, horseradish and ossetra caviar was the appetizer. With all of the ingredients seated comfortably on a spoon, the Arctic Shar kicked off the evening of epicurean delight.
The Atlantic Langoustine was next. Served with the tiniest, cutest carrot I’ve ever seen, the taste was hard to describe. It was great of course, something so beautifully presented and so unfamiliar to me. Ginger, portabella mushroom, verbena and amaranth completed the medley that accompanied the great langoustine.
