In metropolitan cities, it is said that the most authentic cuisine is found on local streets in small, family run restaurants. While some of the best food in the world can be found in street stalls, there are still a few establishments that, while they posess grandeur and sophisticated ambiance, have not lost one bit of authenticity. Celadon at the Sukhothai Bangkok is one such restaurant where intoxicatingly fresh Thai food combines with luxurious surroundings to provide patrons with a most enjoyable dining experience.

Traditional Thai architecture has been maintained with both air-conditioned and fresh-air salas, where guests can reflect upon the lotus blossoms floating in the wrap-around pond through floor to ceiling windows. Celadon proves it is just a myth that to find traditional native fare, one must sit on dusty side roads. An extensive menu reaches to all parts of Thailand here, with cuisine from the north, central and south, as well as inventive interpretations of classics.

Spicy Sea Scallop Salad with Lemongrass and Mint Leaves and Banana Blossoms with Prawns are mouth-watering teasers that leave you drooling for more. Each creation is made to perfection, with classic Thai flavors melting together. Hints of tang boldly give way to explosive spices and gentle sweetness swirling on your palate. My personal favorite is the Whole Deep Fried Sea Bass with Tamarind, Chilies, Garlic and Lime- the fish crisp in texture, not swimming in oil with the perfect balance of bright and powerful savoriness.

Sit back and relax from the heat of the spicy curries (of which they have many) and end an unforgettable meal with a soothing dessert like the Tab Tim Krob, cool Water Chestnut Dumplings with Jackfruit in a sweet Coconut Milk. Celadon’s flavors deceive you into believing you’re eating in a local Thai village while its elaborate presentations uplift you to Thai Royal status. Celadon’s hype as one of Bangkok’s best and most popular restaurant is well deserved.
