Vegetarians and vegans are no longer pariahs at the fine-dining table, at least not at modern European restaurant Mia. Throughout October, the restaurant will serve diners a wholesome, eight-course vegan tasting menu (B2,150) to celebrate Thailand’s vegetarian festival. Expect dishes like cauliflower served three ways with bergamot, grapes, and green curry velouté; avocado cream with bell pepper sorbet and tomato consommé; and artichokes with miso and seaweed vinaigrette. Can’t make it this month? Rest assured that Mia caters to vegetarians and vegans all the time, too. Chayanit Itthipongmaetee
