The Melting Clock: Where Art Meets Authentic Italian Dining in Bangkok

[CharlieH]

 

Bangkok has a lot of Italian restaurants and wine bars, making it challenging to stand out in this vibrant culinary scene. However, The Melting Clock in Ekkamai has successfully carved its unique niche through exceptional vision and creativity. Inspired by Salvador Dalí's renowned painting, “The Persistence of Memory,” The Melting Clock merges artistic elegance with culinary mastery, offering an experience that delights both the eyes and the palate.

Artistic Ambience with Unique Character

The Melting Clock infuses the Ekkamai neighbourhood with a touch of la dolce vita and vibrant flair. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a distinctive design that honours Dalí’s surrealist art. Ornate chandeliers provide warm lighting, art-adorned walls, floor-to-ceiling wine racks, and the soothing sounds of jazz create an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere.

 

 

Open every day, The Melting Clock serves lunch, dinner, and everything in between, catering to a variety of occasions. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a group gathering, or a casual evening at the bar, the restaurant offers intimate corners, spacious tables, and lively bar areas. Additionally, two private rooms are available for exclusive events, business meetings, or personal celebrations.

With its sophisticated yet relaxed environment, The Melting Clock captivates guests even before they taste their exquisite dishes. Beyond the stunning interior, the restaurant exemplifies Thai hospitality with warmth, attentiveness, and a genuine passion for exceptional food.

 

Exquisite Italian and Thai-Inspired Cuisine

While the artistic setting is impressive, the true highlight of The Melting Clock lies in its culinary offerings. Using top-quality ingredients, the restaurant crafts mouth-watering Italian dishes that are both authentic and innovative. Start your meal with the Affettati Misti e Foccaccina al Rosmarino, featuring a selection of Italian cold cuts and rosemary-infused focaccia that offers a delightful range of flavours.

 

 

Don’t miss out on their standout pasta dishes, such as the Bucatini con Crema e Guanciale, a rich and savoury combination of bucatini pasta with guanciale ham, cream, salted egg yolk, and black pepper. For vegetarians, the Penne all'Arrabbiata provides a spicy and satisfying option with chilli peppers, tomato sauce, garlic, and parsley.

Pizza enthusiasts will love the Margherita, Salame Piccante, Mortadella e Pistachio, and Quattro Formaggi pizzas, each boasting perfectly crispy dough, caramelized toppings, and generous cheese. The menu also includes delicious paninis like the Caprese with Pesto, Prosciutto e Funghi, Salsiccia with Mustard, and Coppa with Mayonnaise, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Meat lovers can indulge in dishes like the Tagliata di Petto d’Anatra—a tender Argentinian ribeye steak with crispy roast potatoes and vegetables—or the Cotoletta di Pollo, a perfectly fried chicken cutlet. Seafood options, such as the Salmone con Capperi e Erbette, feature salmon steak baked in white wine with capers and herbs, served alongside potato, carrot, and celery concasse. The Melting Clock also offers a limited selection of Thai dishes, including shrimp Pad Thai noodles and spicy mango salad, for those craving local flavours.
