Gaggan
Earning first place on the latest "Asia's 50 best restaurants" list, progressive Indian restaurant Gaggan is one of the most exciting venues to arrive in Bangkok in recent years.
But don't go into this place thinking you're going to be enjoying the usual Indian dishes like butter chicken or mutton biryani.
El-Bulli-trained chef Gaggan Anand uses molecular technology to put a funky twist on classic dishes from his native India, rendering many of them unrecognizable while giving you that "a-ha!" moment as the connection hits your taste buds.
The best table in this two-story colonial Thai home offers a window right into the kitchen, where you can see Gaggan and his staff in action.
Culinary theater at its best.
GAGGAN, 68/1 Soi Langsuan Ploenchit Road Lumpini, Bangkok 10330 Thailand;
