What is it?: Set within Capella Bangkok, Côte by Mauro Colagreco offers a Riviera-inspired dining experience that combines coastal charm with views of the Chao Phraya River.
Why we love it: Capella Bangkok isn’t just any riverside hotel. It’s been named the World’s Best Hotel in 2024 by The World’s 50 Best, so it’s no surprise that the dining here is equally impressive. And Côte epitomises this. Led by Mauro Colagreco, an Argentine-Italian chef who became the first non-French chef to earn three Michelin stars in France, the restaurant brings Mediterranean flavours to life with a twist. The name 'Côte’, meaning coast, reflects Colagreco’s vision of blending coastal-inspired dishes with the unique charm of the Chao Phraya River. The food here offers contemporary reinterpretations of traditional recipes and the culinary heritage of the French and Italian Riviera. The restaurant offers two tasting menus: escapade lunch (four courses starting at B3,300 per person) and carte blanche (nine courses starting at B7,800 per person), both of which change daily for a fresh experience. One signature dish is the quail, black trumpet mushrooms and foie gras stuffing with diable sauce, beetroot and radicchio.
Time Out tip: The lunch and dinner menus are served at different times. Escapade lunch is available from midday-2pm, while Carte Blanche is offered for both lunch and dinner, with dinner service from 6pm-10pm. Just a heads up – there's a smart casual dress code here, so flip-flops and shorts are a no-go.
