RESTAURANT AND BARS

Eat & Drink
Nutritious, seductive, completely satisfying - the Metropolitan's cuisine is a Bangkok essential

With a Michelin star for his Thai restaurant in London, Australian chef David Thompson is a worldclass talent when it comes to the finest nunces of this explosive, flavourful cuisine. At nahm Bangkok (opening in July 2010), diners can expect proper Thai food done really well in warmly contemporary environs.

The dishes are like the food eaten at home-relaxed, generous and authentic, combining juice and spice, sweet and sour. Menus showcase some of the best market-fresh produce in the world, all carefully put together by Thompson and his experienced team.

For breakfast and healthy all-day dining, Glow serves COMO Shambhala's signature wellness cuisine while the Met Bar features modern Asian dishes in club-like environs, every plate that emerges from our kitchens overseen by another talented Australian, Executive Chef Chris Miller.

nahm
David Thompson, famed for Michelin-starred nahm restaurant at The Halkin hotel in London, will be opening his first restaurant in Bangkok this Summer. Serving authentic Thai food, this major new address for the capital will be popular with both hotel guests and Bangkok residents.

However, many new dishes will make their appearance such as:

'pat plaa meuk gap tua warn' - stir fried baby squid with sugar snap peas Baby squid cleaned and scored, stir-fried with sugar snap peas, garlic. It is somewhat dark in colour because of ink from the squid.
'yam dtakrai' - lemongrass salad with pork and grilled prawns, toasted coconut and squid This salad comes from Singhburi in the northern part of the Central plains. It is an aromatic salad - salty, sharp, somewhat spicy.
'geng gati bpuu tarlae' - coconut and turmeric curry of mud crab with southern limes This curry from the southern provinces has a paste made from dried red chili, red turmeric, shrimp paste and red shallots. It is rich, salty, slightly sweet and sour.

The restaurant opens for dinner only from 07.00 pm. - 10.00 pm.

Glow
For light, healthful dining, the Metropolitan Bangkok offers a trailblazing address for the Thai capital. Glow, located adjacent to our COMO Shambhala Urban Escape, offers a menu based on our COMO Shambhala wellness cuisine.

Glow is also ideal for an any-hour meeting. Breakfast is served daily from 6am to 11am, with all-day dining available from 11.00 am to 9.00 pm.
