2021: Bangkok’s Best French Restaurant – Top 5 New Comers – The Signature Bangkok
Located adjacent to BTS Ratchathewi Station. Led by former 2-Michelin star Chef Thierry Drapeau who is passionate about local and global culinary traditions, the team works closely with farmers and purveyors to source the best seasonal ingredients.
Our culinary journey begins at 11th floor of Vie Hotel Bangkok where we are greeted with expertly-prepared aperitifs and sparkling wine paired with canapés.
In a graceful, contemporary dining room overlooking Bangkok’s spectacular skyline, the main meal unfolds with a choice of a 3- and 5-course Chef’s Menu, with organic vegan options.
Art deco interiors, plush velvet textiles, luxe carpets and a bold color palette evoke classic elegance, while the floor to ceiling glass windows and burnished bronze fittings keep the mood hip and modern.
“Floral cuisine” is an extension of Chef Thierry’s “cuisine of the soil” philosophy, an approach rooted in using the purest and best ingredients to express the flavours of the land and sea.

Born in Nantes, in France’s beautiful Loire Valley, Chef Thierry was drawn to the art of cooking while watching his father prepare the family’s Sunday meal. Inspired by nature, Chef Thierry calls his approach “cuisine of the soil”, which brings together the finest, purest ingredients and flavours of land and sea.
At Signature Bangkok, Chef Thierry continues to innovate and evolve his dedication to ‘floral cuisine’ .
