Blue Elephant Bangkok Sathorn Cooking School & Restaurant

Such a fun experience. We attended a cooking class, where you cook four different dishes. It starts with an overall explanation about Thai cuisine, what you'll be doing, how you'll be cooking, and a demonstration by an employee. You then cook all four dishes, they hold on to the dishes, and you eat your own creations in the end. They help by allowing substitutions in some instances (and/or allow you to control how much spice you may or may not like), but I preferred to do everything as the directions stated, so that I could eat as the locals did. In the end, they allow you to keep the recipes, an apron, and a packet of the curry to bring home. A great experience and would absolutely recommend.

The cooking class was a fantastic experience! The morning session started with a quick tour of a local market where you learn a bit about ingredients commonly used in Thai cuisine. During the cooking session itself, the chef gives a demonstration for each dish and a sample of the results to try, which was then followed by your own attempt at recreating the dish. There wasn’t much guidance when we cooked and it was quite fast-paced so I don’t think it would be suitable for complete novices, but it definitely wasn’t difficult to do. In the end you get to enjoy the dishes you cooked in their restaurant, or you can take them away. The results were absolutely delicious thanks to the quality ingredients and recipes. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to try cooking in Bangkok!

This is the seventh time we have visited the Blue Elephant in Bangkok over the years and we can highly recommend this special restaurant serving exquisite Thai cuisine. Everything is just right here, from the beautiful colonial-style building, the stylish ambience and the personal atmosphere, to the excellent and equally perfect service and the exquisite, excellent dishes with their intense, unique flavors. Simply top! A special thank you to the Corporate Manager Channa and the Restaurant Manager Chaiwat, who really give everything for a unique experience. Thank you and your team!

Had dinner there for 2 with the heritage banquet set last week. It was superb and everything was made to perfection. Got to try many varieties of thai cuisine and still have a full stomach! Our favourites were the fried snow fish and fish soup. Our servers were also very accommodating especially when we asked if we could switch to a quieter table and even offered some tea on the house. Will definitely come back!

Our second time here is 6 months. Will make it a must visit every time we come to Bangkok. Enjoyed all the dishes but their blue fin crab is the best. A little touristy but we don't mind it too much. Tip: they'll sing a birthday song if it's a birthday celebration.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Blue Elephant! The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented especially for the chicken soup which already fell into top 5 in my life. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for a night out. I want to give a special thanks to our server, Arm. He was attentive and friendly throughout the entire evening, ensuring we had everything we needed. His excellent service truly enhanced our experience. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great meal and wonderful service!

We had their tasting menu in a beautiful old antique house. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Tasting menu is generous, but not overly filling. The star of the tasting menu has got to be the coconut crab soup and the pork ribs.

**Hello fellow foodies,** In September 2023, my husband and I visited the **Blue Elephant** restaurant in Bangkok. We spotted it on an exclusive list of top Thai restaurants, so naturally, we had to give it a try! **Food:** The menu offers various set courses, and we opted out for one of them, asking to replace pork and beef with chicken and fish. This was no problem at all. Each dish was a true explosion of flavor. We started with a row of small appetizers, each boasting its own unique taste. Just when we thought we were done, a new round of dishes would appear. We eagerly anticipated each course because every dish was an experience in itself. The **green chicken curry** was amazing—an absolute standout. It was served with a choice of white and/or black rice. The dessert also left a lasting impression, not just for its beautiful presentation. The flavors were incredible! Think: colored sugar and a delicious homemade coconut ice cream. We had a large bottle of water, and our glasses were attentively refilled throughout the meal. Not everything was a perfect 10, but everything scored between a solid 7.5 and a 10. While the portions weren’t huge, by the end of the meal, we were pleasantly full. **Style/Ambiance:** From the outside, the building looks beautiful. Inside, it’s classic and romantic, with candles and elegantly set tables. It’s not very spacious, but it doesn’t feel cramped either. Each dish was visually stunning. Think flowers, vibrant colors, and delightful aromas. **Service:** The service was spot on from the moment we walked in. My husband was even wrapped in a beautiful sarong by one of the staff members, perfectly fitting the Thai style. It was such a fun detail that we still talk about when thinking back about the restaurant. **Location:** The restaurant is located in Bangkok’s business district, and getting there by Grab or taxi is easy. **Price:** By Thai standards, it was quite pricey, especially when you consider that you can often enjoy delicious meals throughout Thailand for much less. However, we really appreciated the experience, and it was worth every baht for the joy it brought us. **Recommendation:** We definitely recommend trying this restaurant at least once if you’re in Bangkok. You won’t regret it—especially if you’re looking to spend a bit more and enjoy a “fine dining” experience.
