AngloThai, the eatery helmed by Jonathan and Desiree Chantarasak – both graduates of Le Cordon Bleu Dusit cookery school in Bangkok – has received a Michelin star just three months after opening in November 2024. It is now the only Thai restaurant in the UK capital to hold the accolade.
Blending Thai and British heritage, the outlet in London’s upmarket Marylebone area serves contemporary Thai cuisine made using traditional cooking methods – techniques not often found outside Thailand. Many of the dishes are prepared over charcoal, and coconut cream is a staple in a number of recipes.
The restaurant’s appealing eighteenth-century exterior houses an inviting space that flies the flag for Thailand with Moonler furniture from Chiang Mai, including a beautiful four-metre-long dining table in the private dining room. It’s a great spot in which to enjoy indulgences such as Brixham crab with nahm prik chilli paste.
