Upstairs Mikkeller

There's a serene sophistication to chef Dan Bark's intimately scaled chef's table restaurant above the Danish craft beer bar Mikkeller. While the dining room keeps things Nordically simple—walls are a subtle, cool mint, lighting is bright yet inviting—the tasting menu bursts with impactful and labor-intense flavors.

80/20

2019 saw Charoenkrung's hipster hangout go upscale: kitchen bar seats, tasting menu, wine pairing and craft cocktails. Fermentation remains at the heart of chef Napol Jangprai's 13-course menu, whether its a sinfully crisped slice of pork belly topped with infused mushroom and served with a fermented chili sauce or a tangy coconut cream with smoked goby fish. Desserts by Japanese pastry chef Saki Hoshino forego sweetness in favor of sublimely challenging new flavors.

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon is a unique dining approach where chefs experiment, create and work on new ideas in front of customers who are seated around a high bar facing the open kitchen.  Chef Robuchon’s intention is to create a high level of interaction between chefs and diners, encouraging the chefs to better their craft. This presentation immerses guests in a dining experience where guests are part of the action. Likewise, the service demonstrates an attentive sense of care and warmth to make this French fine dining experience a relaxed experience.
