Fireplace Grill and Bar at InterContinental Bangkok, one of the longest standing grill restaurants in the city, served up a refreshed grill-forward menu last year that stayed true to its European steakhouse roots while putting a few twists on the restaurant’s traditional formula. Think seared foie gras, Scottish brown crab, and seafood stunners like butter-roasted Canadian lobster and Sicilian red prawns with tagliolini. Prime cuts from Japan, the U.S., and Australia take centre stage alongside French staples like tournedos rossini and escargots a la bourguignonne. For dessert, Crêpes Suzette keeps the retro flair alive.
This July-Aug, the restaurant adds a seasonal twist with a dedicated “Summer Truffle Menu,” featuring indulgent dishes like grilled Stockyard beef tenderloin and Hokkaido scallops laced with black truffle, or a decadent cacao truffle dessert to cap things off if you choose.
The wine list is vast as well and sources bottles from respected, family-run vineyards across the globe.
