Date & time: Daily, from 12.00pm to 9.00pm (available until November 30)

Location: Giorgio’s, Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers Bangkok

How much: A la carte starts from 588++ THB. Set menu:

• 3-course at THB 1,800++
• 4-course at THB 2,000++
• 5-course at THB 2,500++

Pairing melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu with the beautiful view of the Chao Phraya River, Giorgio’s, located in the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers Bangkok, has just the recipe for a romantic night out with your special someone or a well-deserved treat with your loved ones this October.

Take a seat indoors for a cosy dining experience or outdoors to eat under the stars. Both offer stunning views of the river. Start with Wagyu Beef Tartare, a masterful starter featuring raw celery, marinated egg yolk, and a Parmesan sabayon that is as creamy as it is rich. For a more robust opening to your meal, the Antipasto selection offers more tempting options.

When it comes to the main course, you can choose between two dishes: the Risotto allo Zafferano, a creamy saffron risotto topped with crispy Wagyu beef bone marrow and black truffle, or the Spaghettoni, a hearty pasta dish featuring tender Wagyu beef in a flavorful tomato, garlic, and rosemary sauce. You can’t go wrong with either, as both are cooked to perfection using the finest ingredients.

End your meal on a sweet note with the Cremoso al Cacao Bianco con Insalata di Frutti di Bosco e Chantilly. It’s a decadent white chocolate cremoso paired with a fresh berry salad and a cloud of Chantilly cream.
