Nestled in Bangkok's vibrant Thonglor district, InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit emerges as a gastronomic luminary. AVA Brasserie, the newest jewel in its crown, orchestrates a culinary odyssey that seamlessly marries innovation with time-honoured traditions.
Embark on this gastronomic adventure at The Lobby, where Thai and Japanese influences intermingle.
Indulge in handcrafted Sarnies coffees and TWG teas, harmonizing with Thonglor-inspired cuisine. The Lobby, with its signature Thai-Japanese inspired beverages, sets a captivating prelude to AVA Brasserie's main culinary spectacle.
Rogues, a hidden gem of a bar onsite, encapsulates an air of mystery and relaxation. Here, masterfully mixed cocktails and live performances pulsate within an ambiance brimming with intrigue.
The pièce de résistance is AVA Brasserie, perched on the fourth floor.
This upscale brasserie pays tribute to the aviation heritage and the vision of Juan Trippe, founder of InterContinental and Pan-American Airways. Its décor—a fusion of soft hues, gleaming metallics, and reflective surfaces—crafts a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere.
A GLOBAL MOSAIC OF FLAVORS
AVA Brasserie's menu is a carefully curated anthology of global dishes. From starters to desserts, each creation exemplifies the brasserie's dedication to quality and taste.
Guiding the culinary team is Chef Roberto Bellitti, a maestro whose journey spans Europe to Asia. Influenced by Michelin-starred mentors and his sojourns in Thailand, Singapore, and Bali, his style resonates in every dish. Consider the Peredo Egg and Truffle: a lavish mix of potato mousse and truffle essence, crowned with a double-cooked egg, nut crumble, panko bread, and fresh black truffle shavings—a truffle lover's delight.
The Tomato Salad is a study in simplicity: heirloom tomatoes in honey lemon Dijon mustard dressing and black olive “soil”, alongside Stracciatella Burrata and cucumber gazpacho—a prelude to the main course.
The Tagliolini Carbonara is an Italian symphony. Crafted around homemade pasta, egg, Guanciale, and Parmesan, it shuns cream for authenticity, culminating in a guanciale slice that enriches the dish with its flavour. Norwegian Salmon Wellington reimagines the classic Wellington.
Encased in puff pastry with Chinese kale and salmon mousse, it enfolds a tender salmon steak, accompanied by ratatouille and gremolata sauce—a testament to Chef Bellitti's skill.
Desserts echo sweet excellence. New York Cheesecake merges a crunchy base with velvety smoothness and local berry compote. Sticky Toffee Pudding is a lavish treat with vanilla ice cream. The Craqueline, with coconut Chantilly cream in pandan cream, topped with sesame twill, showcases Chef Bellitti's passion.
A FESTIVE CULINARY JOURNEY WITH CHEF BELLITTI
Newcomers can immerse in Chef Bellitti's artistry with the “Forever with Me: A Culinary Voyage with Chef Bellitti” menu, available in December. It begins with “Radicici del mare “Vulcano”, an almond and oregano-crusted yellowfin tuna loin, paired with Chardonnay. “Growing in the Fog” features homemade Spätzle in porcini mushroom sauce with Pinot Noir. “Meet New Horizons” introduces braised cuttlefish in vanilla coconut curry sauce and purple potato soil, complemented by Riesling. The meal concludes with “Sweet Hug”, an original tiramisu recipe, ideally enjoyed with sweet wine.
AVA Brasserie at InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit transcends mere dining. It is a culinary landmark, celebrating the convergence of global and local cuisines. Each dish narrates a tale, each bite an exploration, rendering AVA Brasserie an essential destination for those seeking a dining experience that is both enriching and profoundly gratifying.
