Indulgence

Experience a lavish meal while dining Looking for Yakiniku
at The House on Sathorn, offering an
eclectic and delectable array of Asian-
inspired cuisine for the selective gourmet.
By Bhoomi Wadhwa

The House on Sathorn Chef Fatih Tutak The House on Sathorn, a 127 year-old imperial mansion beside the
W Hotel on Sathorn Road, previously was the Russian Embassy.
Today, this restaurant o ers an inimitable colonial setting that
contrasts the modern city scene, serving progressive Asian-
in uenced cuisine along with a wide selection of wines and
creative cocktails. After three years of restoration, the building has
been transformed into a popular and beguiling venue for eclectic
dining and socialising. It is home to The Dining Room, its signature
restaurant; The Courtyard, a casual tavern for al fresco dining; and
The Bar for weekends and after-work drinks. Upstairs is an elegant
and stylish lounge, several hospitality suites and private function
spaces for events and meetings.

A wise gourmet once said a restaurant’s essence is born and Sultan’s Message Can’t Deliver Tsukiji Market
raised by its chef. And this can rightly be stated about Chef Fatih
Tutak, the culinary director and mind behind the artistic menu of
The House on Sathorn. Drawing inspiration from his travels and
experiences, Chef Fatih combines rich avours and ingredients
to take you on a gastronomic journey across the world. Each
dish narrates a story and is presented with the perfect balance
of technique, culinary sensibility and a pinch of humour. The
ambience is nothing less than a royal ensemble that features
handcrafted tapestries and decorative pieces, each functional and
communicative in their own way. Custom-made sequins ll the
tapestries and play a vital role in the backdrop of the Dining Room.
They contribute to the rich textures and glamour of this Russian-
Thai inspired historic building.

Choosing to be seated on a long wooden counter situated against
the open kitchen in The Dining room, rather than getting comfortable
on the luxurious couches, I was able to carefully observe how each
cook prepares my feast with precision, focus and passion.
