Opened just three days ago, Dean & Deluca MahaNakohn Cube is said to be the largest in Asia, taking over the ground floor of Bangkok's latest lifestyle and retail center, MahaNakhon Cube. 

Similar to New York flagship, the real draw of the place is their gourmet market area which takes up more than 60% of the venue, offering everything from wine and craft beers to pasta, condiments, cooking wares and chocolate from both international and local brands. 

This New York-born deli also features an open kitchen where you can watch the expert hands at work while wining and dining, an espresso bar, bakery counter and pizza station, where they boast of a variety of toppings in Italian and New York styles (dine in or takeaway). 

If you drop by soon, you’ll be able to witness the kitchen team throwing pizza dough as part of their monthly promotion on Italian dishes, like margherita pizza (from B95 a slice), jamon serrano ham (B200) and lasagna with beef bolognese and emmental cheese and Danish blue cheese.
