Designer Dishes & French Fusion

Imagine that you were invited to the home of a fabulous French designer who has more style than you can shake a few lemongrass sticks at. Add in the surroundings of a jungle oasis, the panache of Paris and a laid-back, Thai-style retreat oasis.

Not forgetting of course some of the most exciting, fusion style gourmet food in Bangkok.

Imagine too a 3-bedroom guesthouse included with a gorgeous villa style pool, surrounded by huge banana, mango and papaya trees. You might somehow get round to imagining Be Your Guest, but whatever your vision, the reality of this Bangkok dream is so much better when you are relaxing on one of the eclectic chaise longue and contemplating what a wonderfully unique city Bangkok is as you nibble on what will undoubtedly be your first foie gras cup cake.

Be Your Guest is a café that becomes a private dining house at night; something of a new concept. This is personalized dining at its best. The dining area and two lounge areas, as well as the outside dining and lounge areas can be booked for an entire evening with a personally created menu. Diners wanting to choose from the select evening set menu of delectable delights for just under 1000 thb can only do so by booking first, just in case the restaurant is not open for general bookings.

Somehow, this all adds to the allure of Be Your Guest, that this is not a restaurant just waiting for people to drop by.

It has that rare ambience of being totally accessible and yet spectacularly special. Styled like a Mediterranean villa, the décor is flamboyant in all the right places, with specially designed furniture such as an ultra-chic, bright yellow comfy chair, burnt orange rug and a playful, baroque styled area right next to as-long-as-your-body white window seating and Thai style loungers.

The whole open plan space lets you be who you want to be and the confidence of self-expression at Be Your Guest rubs off. Outside are cushioned seats with black, glittery, glass tables. The food in the daytime is about finger food and café snacks and in the evening, fine cuisine.

The lemony chicken wings transform a Thai standard into something else. Select canapés include a crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth, emmentaal cookie with a zesty aubergine puree that is beyond moreish and is simply divine. The grilled aubergine rolled with coppa and mozzarella is a small taste of wonderfulness and the pizza style brochette uses holy and sweet Thai basil with cherry tomatoes, emmentaal, garlic and olive oil.

Finger food has never been this good. The beef steak with green pepper and cinnamon, with a coconut milk and coriander potato gratin, at under 400 thb, is a fusion feast that often comes as a duck dish too. With Belgium speculoos ice cream and iced nougat with a strawberry coulis to follow, the never before tasted flavors of Be Your Guest are as daring, adventurous and avant garde as a Paris culinary catwalk.
