Thinking about Thai food always gives us a warmth fuzzy feeling. We’re not sure if it’s the abundance of different flavours, the coconutty aromas, or the time-honoured recipes - whatever it may be, Saffron is probably one of your best bets for authentic and innovative Thai with a view.

Set on the 52nd floor of the stunning Banyan Tree Bangkok Resort and overlooking the vibrant tropical mangroves, Chef Renu Homsombat, head chef at Saffron, work around the clock with with her team to bring modern Thai elements into every dish. From the very first bite of the Yum Hua Plee Goong (Banana Blossom Salad) with chicken, chili and shrimp paste, to the last bite of the Woon Dok Anchan (Chilled Butterfly Pea with Lychees Ice Cream), we are quite certain the gastronomical experience at Saffron is one you’ll truly appreciate!

“Lying in the fame shadows of Banyan Tree's rooftop Vertigo restaurant, the hotel group's signature Saffron eatery quietly serves up sweeping panoramas from its 51st to 52nd floor perch to view-hunters in the know. The restaurant offers authentic Thai dishes, with the a la carte choices including classic appetizers, Thai 'yum' salads, soups and curries, with convenient set menus for bring-it-on diners.” -CNN Travel

“At this point we enjoyed a sour yet tasty manaow palate cleanser before going onto our star dish: the hottest thing on the menu, Gaeng prik kradook moo, roasted peppered pork spare ribs, honeycomb sauce. We did this not because we were drunk but because, for all its fire, it is a great delicacy. Moreover, the accompanying steamed cabbage and green beans in coconut milk worked wonders at tempering the hot flavours, making it very palatable, tender and succulent.” -Bangkok Post
