March 28, 2023 was, to many, was just an ordinary day. But for the restaurants that were announced as Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2023, it was a glorious day. Especially for Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn, whose two restaurants were part of the top five – Le Du at #1 and Nusara at #3!
Four Bangkok restaurants have secured places in the top ten (Le Du, Nusara, Gaggan Anand and Sorn), proving that Bangkok’s food scene can offer excellence in both street and fine-dining worlds.
2023 is also a triumph for Japan, as five Japanese restaurants have made it to the top ten: #2 Sézanne, #4 Den, #7 Florilège, #8 La Cime, and #10 Narisawa.
Odette by our beloved Chef Julien Royer is still high on the list (#6). Standing toe to toe with 49 fine dining restaurants is the one and only, Raan Jay Fai. Her famous Crab Omelette, Seafood Drunken Noodles and Dry Tom Yum once again have won her restaurant the #38 spot on the list.
