Blue Elephant Bangkok Sathorn Cooking School & Restaurant

The Blue Elephant Sathorn delivers an exceptional dining experience that beautifully honors the depth, elegance, and soul of Thai cuisine—and the Chef’s Tasting Menu is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment the first course arrived, it was clear that this was not just a meal, but a thoughtfully curated journey through Thailand’s regional flavors and culinary heritage. Each dish was exquisitely presented, striking a perfect balance between refinement and authenticity. The flavors were bold yet nuanced—layered with aromatic herbs, perfectly calibrated spice, and impeccable technique. The progression of the tasting menu felt seamless. Highlights included deeply aromatic curries, delicate seafood preparations, and inventive reinterpretations of classic Thai dishes that respected tradition while elevating it to fine-dining artistry. Every bite told a story, showcasing premium ingredients and an obvious reverence for Thai culinary roots. All of this paired with the finest selection of wines by the in-house sommelier. The service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience without ever feeling intrusive. Staff took the time to explain each course, adding context that made the tasting menu even more meaningful. Paired with the restaurant’s stunning colonial-style setting, the atmosphere felt both grand and intimate—an ideal backdrop for such a memorable meal. Blue Elephant’s Chef’s Tasting Menu is a masterclass in Thai fine dining. It’s an experience I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to explore Thai cuisine at its highest level—refined, soulful, and truly unforgettable.

We just finished the cooking class at Blue Elephant and it was amazing. Our instructors, Min and Krishna, were wonderful. They explained everything clearly, with big smiles, great energy, and genuine care. We especially appreciated that they showed us ways to adapt the dishes to ingredients we can find back home, which made the experience feel practical and personal. The class was also very well adapted for vegetarians. Beautiful place, great atmosphere, and a truly delicious, authentic experience. Highly recommended. Thank you so much, Min, Krishna, and the amazing Blue Elephant team!

We arrived to Bangkok on 17th December and decided to experience a great dinner for our first night in the city. The atmosphere was nice and cosy and the employees were very polite. We decided to try one of the menus and our choice was an excellent one. Different cocktails are offered to start with while clients wait for the staters. The combination of smell and tastes was amazing. I highly recommend to visit the Blue Elephant at least once 😉.

Blue Elephant 藍 🐘 Blue Elephant Restaurant: A One-Star Michelin Thai Cuisine Palace in Bangkok Blue Elephant is a precious gem located in Bangkok! The restaurant is conveniently located, just a 2-minute walk from BTS Surasak Station, I saw the magnificent and elegant classical villa , The restaurant building was originally the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, boasting a long and rich history spanning a hundred years. It features a Westernized style from the reign of King Rama V, There are still two stone lions statues standing at the entrance. When the night falls, this classical villa shines even more brilliantly. Stepping into the gift shops on the left, you can see so many designed products by the chef Noonor including T-shirts, all kinds of ingredients, aprons, cookbooks, etc., ! The restaurant, the soaring staircase is adorned with portraits of famous figures who have visited, including world leaders and a host of celebrities, creating a very luxurious atmosphere. The restaurant's decor combines both Western and Thai styles. It specializes in Thai cuisine and has been honored with a Michelin one-star award. Chef had learned from the Gordon blue cuisine School from Paris ! She also learned from her grandmother ever since she was very young! This is why her cuisine is so delicious and popular to all the royal family, high rank business people and tourist, especially her fans! We ordered delicious dishes such as foie gras with mango, Thai prawn Tom Yum Goong (spicy soup), some of us order the fish, tommy flavor, which is very delicious too ! crab meat with curry is so delicious with chunk of crab leg and crab meat which is nicely served with the black octopus juice bread ! stir-fried mixed vegetables, and fried rice.

This was our second time here, and on both visits the staff made sure our dinner felt like a truly special experience. Everything was outstanding, from the service and the presentation to the quality of the food itself. A special shout-out to the Pad Thai and the Mango Sticky Rice. They may be classics you’ve had many times before, but here they were the best we’ve ever tried.

the cooking leans into richness and control rather than excess. The crab curry stands out immediately. The crab meat is juicy and tender, but it’s the curry that carries the dish—deeply flavoured, well-balanced, and not muddled. Every bite feels deliberate. The Massaman lamb is the highlight of the meal. The lamb is cooked to the point of collapse, soft without losing structure, and infused with warm, layered spices that linger without overwhelming. It’s comforting, confident cooking done properly.

Went to Bangkok for a family lunch and our experience was heavenly. Every interaction with staff from the front, to the table, and in between was genuine and heartfelt. Each dish and drink was well presented and beautifully balanced, and the thoughtfulness in the presentation was only exceeded by the flavor. Our party ordered from both the Heritage and Chef’s Tasting Menus, which were 5 and 6 courses respectively. On the menus we enjoyed being able to read both the history of the royal dishes as well as the origins of the ingredients, which added another layer to our enjoyment and our appreciation for Chef Nooror’s passion. Kookai, our server, was so kind to describe each dish that she delivered in both Thai and English, and we shared some sweet conversation and laughs as well. She was attentive, but not hovering, so much that even when I needed to cough and clear my throat, due to a soup, she immediately brought me a clean, cool towel to wipe my hands. When my mother and I left, Miss Kookai even handed us each a perfect orchid stem, wrapped and in water to take home. There are many ideal photo opportunities to be had in this over 100 year old building among the myriad of fresh flowers and gorgeous architecture. I truly cannot recommend enough taking an opportunity to dine here.
