At Chef Thierry Drapeau’s Signature Bangkok, he introduced an innovative “floral cuisine” approach that is an extension of his renowned “cuisine of the soil” philosophy, as he explores natural and cultural landscapes through gastronomy.

Complemented by the subtle flavors and beauty of edible flowers and herbs, Chef Thierry’s menus are a journey of discovery, where each ingredient tells a unique story of the land and sea, connecting diners to terroir, or a sense of place, and to shared memories of enjoying a meal together. The Michelin Guide praises Chef Thierry’s “classic French flavours.”

Chef Sakal is among the most beloved chefs working in Ho Chi Minh City, where he shares his unique blend of creative flair and culinary passion at the renowned Le Corto and P’ti Saigon restaurants. In addition to his winning appearance on Iron Chef, he has also cooked meals for heads of state including French President Francois Hollande.

Seating for the meals at Restaurant Le Royal is limited and advanced reservations are required. For inquiries and reservations, please contact Raffles Hotel Le Royal at Tel: 023 981 888
