Thitid Tassanakajohn’s award-winning fine-dining restaurant Nusara (currently No.3 on the list of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants) has moved to a larger location on the same soi, taking over all three floors of a corner shophouse that strategically faces Wat Pho, the ancient and much-revered temple that lights up at night.
The shophouse’s walls have been knocked down and expansive windows have been installed to allow diners unparalleled views of the temple and to allow natural light to illuminate the olive-green dining chambers.
The menu still focuses on Thai fare with modern twists. Chef Thitid sources fine ingredients from around the country for recipes inspired by his ancestors, particularly his beloved grandmother. The 10-course meal is priced at B4,500++. Additionally, Nusara has been chosen as the exclusive ambassador of Krug Champagne in Thailand, allowing guests at Nusara to indulge in the exquisite taste of the French Champagne known for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
On the first floor is Nuss, a dimly lit bar that the chef put up with celebrated bartender Ronnaporn Kanivichaporn. Do check it out.
