I believe so. It had that fresh out of the oven taste.

Thanks Chi and Happy Birthday mate!

Nice thread Chi. Happy Burfday, another notch in the belt?

That puke does not look appetizing. Saffron rice, eh?

Marmite the Dog

I'll ask my, err, missus. She's the meet & greet lass there. If you want to know where they get anything else from, let me know and I'll find out for you.

It's owned by the miserable git who started L'Opera on Suk Soi 39, but this is a cut above that place food wise. Basically, the guy knows how to run a restaurant and has a real top-end chef. It's supposedly the best Italian restaurant in Thailand, but Tuddy knows a better one.

I will meet the blackness and the blackness will be eternal

So you still want to meet someone else or that's of the agenda?

If you are doing lunch I would highly recommend Rossini's which is also at Asoke in the Sheraton. They do a set lunch for about 500 baht which includes a buffet starter, main course, dessert and coffee. You really get your moneys worth with the starter buffet - charcuterie, cheese, shellfish etc.

Perhaps BKkmadness can review it as he was there recently?

The Asparagus soup was lovely, I really enjoyed that. The veal very nice too, but not really sure how good that is supposed to be because never had veal before. They combined it well with the other veg. Not sure the dessert was anything too special, though I was never a dessert loving person.

Most definitely the starter buffet was the real treat there, nice selection of meats and cheeses and a variety of other treats including some fantastic tomato/feta cheese dish. I'll probably stuff a carrier bag inside my jeans next time and get my fridge filled up at home.

Service was excellent, though they did keep trying to take my plate when there was still food on it.

Actually the settings and decor of the restaurant was really good too, a relaxing restaurant to dine in.

At 500 baht it's a bargain really. I'd never have thought it was so cheap in a restaurant of that caliber. Definitely value for money.

Give it a go Chitown, you'll love it.

ps. Happy Birthday!

Excellent review Chi, as is usual from your good self, not really my sort of food at this stage of my life, (I don't want to look like a fatty ) but great indulgence for the eyes.
I used to go to La opera as I lived in Soi 36, the owner seemed a bit of a tosser, but no doubting the quality of the food and management.

Must say, I am rather jealous of your lovely hands, what sort of lotion do you use?

kingwilly

that sounds like a CHEAPER end meal mate!

you have been out bush too long.

\
oh I see. perhaps sizzlers all you can eat might be the better option then?

give me quality over quantity any day thanks.

and you generally find it was enough to eat anyway, despite not looking like a monster truck derby on your plate.

Marmite the Dog

Err...helloo?!

forreachingme

There is a wide choice of wines available, in many bottle sizes...

Just don't like his italian sausages the rest is very good italian food

If you go for a beer only, you will receive olives, and different italian home made breads, nice too...

LOL

I thought the same in reference to some of your dishes as pictured on TD. Then I went for dinner and really got to see how HUGE your plates were.

If, I had known your portion sizes I would have declined one of the starters....

Didn't we take home as much as we ate? BTW both the steaks and the tuna are still talked about 'round here.

The thing is, these plates are huge. Just like the plates at Timbas. They ought to be used on a 16 inch tire as a hubcap, not as a dinner plate.

We left there full, so that out to say something.
