Tucked away in Bangkok’s towering Mahanakhon building, Vilas defies all notions of traditional Thai cuisine, where we combine new world ingredients and ancient cooking techniques premised on the concept of Japan’s deeply rooted appreciation of nature. Sophisticated minimalism, subtle natural elements touched by an earthy palette set the main stage where chef Prin Polsuk of Samrub Samrub Thai teams up with Spanish chef, Pepe Dasi, for a whimsically refined, dining experience.
Philosophy
The dining concept behind Vilas takes inspiration from HM King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 Journey to Europe. During his travels, cultures and traditions merged, introducing exotic ingredients that soon became a part of the Thai cooking repertoire ranging from HM’s own recipe book to appearing in Thai-western cookbooks. Adopting new ways of eating and cooking Thai dishes, Vilas takes history and breathes new life into it with an intriguing, out of the ordinary tasting menu that combines exclusive ingredients from other lands together with those from Thailand.
