Le Normandie rewarded with two stars

Le Normandie is the only French fine dining restaurant to receive this accolade and is among only three establishments to receive 2 Michelin stars in the city. This year’s selection also awarded 14 restaurants 1 star and 35 restaurants a Bib Gourmand, with no 3 stars awarded to any restaurant. The debut of the Michelin Guide, Bangkok, reinforces Thailand’s status as one of the world’s leading gastronomic hubs as it becomes 30th country to receive a self-titled Michelin Guide.
 “I am very honoured and humbled to have such a great team to work with. I am not only delighted for Le Normandie and the team but I am also proud to be representing Bangkok as one of the world’s most premier dining destinations. I would like to express my deepest thanks and appreciation to Le Normandie’s fans and supporters, we shall continue to grow and prosper the legacy of The Oriental and I feel very privileged to have such wonderful support. This accomplishment really is the pinnacle of my culinary journey!” Dunand Sauthier told the press.
Dunand Sauthier took the helm of Le Normandie in 2012, bringing more than 15 years of experience in French fine dining. His menu is inspired by his home region of Savoy in the French Alps and his dishes are the imprints of his culinary identity as visibly portrayed onto his signature dishes; “Caviar Oscietre et Oursin” caviar, sea urchin and potato with champagne sauce, and “Pigeon Mieral de Bresse”, roasted pigeon, endive, pear and cocoa.
Michelin has been in the business of evaluating and recommending restaurants and hotels for over a century. It is the oldest European hotel and restaurant reference guide, dating back to 1900, which awards Michelin Stars for excellence to a select few establishments. They employ full-time professional inspectors who anonymously visit restaurants and hotels, and evaluate them on a range of criteria, using an evaluation process that has been honed over time to identify consistently high-quality establishments to suit a range of budgets and across a range of styles and cuisines.
