Le Beaulieu
For French dining in Bangkok, I always rate Le Bouchon (Soi Patpong II, off Surawong Road) the No. 1 home-cooking bistro, Philippe (Sukhumvit Soi 39) the no. 1 family dining, Le Normandie (the Oriental Hotel) the No. 1 fine dining, and Le Beaulieu (Sukhumvit Soi 19) the No. 1 hip dining, young and energizing. The gang-of-four is my favorite French restaurants in Bangkok.
Enter to Le Beaulieu we are welcomed by a cathedral-like foyer and blue-sky-alike ceiling, seaside-feel dining room and glass separated see-through kitchen, it has a hint of Provence, one of France’s best bets for seeing rural life lived to the fullest.
Le Beaulieu is about Provence of France, Mediterranean and French cuisine. Le Beaulieu is about wine, cheese, and chocolate. Le Beaulieu is about celebration and indulgence. Oops, celebration doesn’t have to be with a big group, I always do it alone, simply enjoy a great meal to mark a great day!
My favorite dishes are Mediterranean Sole in Muniere Sauce (B1,700++), Artichoke Soup with Half Artichoke (B390++), and Bouillabaisse Marseillaise (B750++). Of course, desserts in Le Beaulieu are definitely not to be skipped, along with good selection of cheese.
Reservation is a must unless you want disappointment! Don’t worry about wine, Le Beaulieu has an excellent selection in town that won't let you down.
