Which restaurant would one go to to induldge in a beef wellington?

Gordon Ramsay's shows have me hankering for one.

Rimping In Promenada were selling it, just tell them how much you want and they will cut a piece off for you, not great but if it satisfys your craving then all well and good.

Never see it on a menu in Chiang Mai....but there may be someone out there who has.

None of them. The beef available here is much better than it used to be, but not up to that.

La Fourchette is mentioned favourably on Tripadvisor.

And last year they had it on promotion at The Steak House in JJ Market.

And maybe start with a Caesar Salad tossed tableside, Lobster Thermidor appetizer and for dessert Baked Alaska. Any good wines to pair with culinary classics of the 1950's?

The use of Language suggests a Yank who would not recognise a good Beef Wellington if it rose up and smacked the face !

Tossed Tableside !

If it was local beef, it would probably be as tough as a wellington boot

Probably correct !

Perhaps it isn't.

Added: One review of La Fourchette mentions imported NZ Charolais beef.

I've made Beef Wellington from Australian grass-fed beef tenderloin, available here in Central Food Hall, in Bangkok. Don't Central supply it up there too? Caesar Salad is a regular on our menu at home here, (usually with slices of cold steamed chicken). Both quite easy to make, if you can cook. (And I hope I'm not being smart-arsed here, it's just that I prefer to cook at home most of the time, when I know the ingredients are good.)

I'll give La Fourchette a call. With imported beef there's hope...right?

Thanks for the input!

Beef wellington "quick " to make ? Must be another yank that thinks beef wellington originates from Mcd's !

And ---------who "tosses table-side"

He didn't say quick he said easy.

Could miss the pompous replies about Yanks and not knowing what is good Beef Wellington. Being a Yank myself, I reckon you don;t know what is good meat.

Very well then sir, shall we begin with a nice glass of Babycham?

Meat counter in BKK. Ironic they imported some of it all the way from the US.

None of them. The beef available here is much better than it used to be, but not up to that.

I notice that thesedays Rimping are charging more for the 'Steak' cuts of beef from Thai cattle than Australian and New Zealand beef

. I must admit that if its a steak,I still choose imported,but for stews I go for Thai...Shin of beef (shank) arround 350/kilo

Best fillet I've had was over 1500/kilo from Tops,,grass fed from Australia....very tender!

What do we have here, a pair who think they're experts because they've watched a couple of Gordon Ramsey shows?

Actually, I'm British, and as noted, I did not say "quick". Cooking well is not an impossible artform. (And I hope I'm not being smart-arsed...but no doubt you will interpret as you choose.) Ar*ed should have been an indicator.

Amazing how even a simple straightforward request for beef wellington quickly degenerates into personal abuse. Or maybe not amazing these days on TV.Sad though.

You could try the new British Restaurant, The Edge Did an excellent Christmas Lunch and I suspect for a group of at least 4, may prepare Beef Wellington for you. Worth a phone call. Great location on the river-they have a facebook page for more details.

For those suspicious souls here, I have no connection, I am just a very satisfied customer.

I'd never heard of this place until you mentioned it today, looks interesting - how far along the river is it from the American Consulate, Walking Distance?

It would seem those that bother to comment on TripAdvisor all rate this place very highly - will have to give it a try myself next time. Thanks for the tip!

We are so sorry our British cousins now better and we poor people of the lost colony cannot do without you. Please inform the French and Italians and the Belgians of your culinary superiority..

I doubt either of the piss-takers would even know how to make Beef Wellington without looking it up on the internet.

before going out for BW; it might be wise to know the difference between filet steak and tenderloin. If the are using real tenderloin,; it is going to come with a hefty price tag.

There are people here whose every enquiry includes the word 'cheap' and there are those that don't. Not only did the OP not use the c word, he used the i word ......... Indulge!! Does that make him a Troll, I wonder?

For the uninitiated, here's the difference: There isn't one.

They are both beef loin, and Tenderloin is the name used in the US as opposed to the name Fillet used everywhere else.

From the US consulate / white chedi walk past the all the fruit stalls about 200m on the right.

Literally the edge of the river, hence the name.

Has a nice funky bamboo lattice wall that I was looking at to copy for myself sometime.
