BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 November 2024 - Thailand's culinary community shines brighter than ever, with the announcement of the country's first recipient of the ultimate accolade of Three MICHELIN Stars at the MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Thailand that marks the official release of The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2025 edition, and the unveiling of its much-awaited full restaurant selection.
The newly released Guide features 462 establishments – with its first-ever Three MICHELIN Stars (promoted from Two MICHELIN Stars), 7 Two MICHELIN Stars (1 promoted from One MICHELIN Star), 28 One MICHELIN Star (4 new entries, and 1 promoted from MICHELIN Selected), 156 Bib Gourmand (20 new entries), and 270 MICHELIN Selected entries (44 new entries). Among the new additions to the Guide, 20 are from Chon Buri (5 Bib Gourmand, and 15 MICHELIN Selected entries), the newly covered destination in this eighth local edition.
Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of The MICHELIN Guides, commented: "With the country's first-ever 'Three MICHELIN Stars' restaurant, 2025 definitely marks a significant and historic year for Thailand on the international gastronomic map. What's more, the entire selection celebrates the richness and diversity of Thai cuisine, and highlights Thailand's gastronomy as an inclusive market that embraces tradition, modernity, and new trends."
Thailand's evolving restaurant landscape and culinary trends as noted by MICHELIN Guide Inspectors
According to Mr. Poullennec, Thailand's restaurant landscape has seen the continued growth of a new breed of modern Thai restaurants, helmed by young talented Thai chefs – mostly under the age of 35, with international experiences and/or western culinary education – who start up business in their hometown, with a passion to showcase traditional Thai dishes in a modern and sophisticated style, to push contemporary Thai cooking beyond its boundaries.
Moreover, Thailand's fine-dining scene attracts foreign chefs from all corners of the world, to work, exchange their expertise with local chefs, and train young local teams. The focus on sustainability and local sourcing has also been widely and increasingly seen, with chefs becoming more engaged in sourcing local ingredients and cooperating with small eco-friendly producers. Such momentum inspires local chefs to take the initiative and make their approach with a positive change in the environment.
MICHELIN Guide Inspectors also found a noticeable number of simple restaurants and small eateries that have passed down recipes from generation to generation, ensuring their authenticity and originality. These types of dining establishments affirm Thailand as a country with exceptionally good food at reasonable prices.
'Sorn' made history by receiving Thailand's first-ever Three MICHELIN Stars
Sorn – a restaurant with a focus on the art of Southern Thai cuisine that blends tradition with modernity, and refinement with evolution; its perfectly paced menu offering an array of exhilarating flavors, all of which are in perfect harmony –becomes iconic, being the first and only restaurant in Thailand to hold the highest level of Three MICHELIN Stars.
First making its appearance in The 2019 MICHELIN Guide Thailand on the One MICHELIN Star list, Sorn was promoted to Two MICHELIN Stars in the following year and has maintained this prestigious recognition for five consecutive years. Its being awarded the much-coveted Three MICHELIN Stars in the 2025 edition is a true mark of excellence, quality, and consistency. Rather than being a detour on the way to a destination, Sorn has now become the destination itself.
'Côte by Mauro Colagreco' – the only addition to the Two MICHELIN Stars list
In The 2025 MICHELIN Guide Thailand edition, being promoted from the One MICHELIN Star status to join Baan Tepa, Chef's Table, Gaa, Mezzaluna, R-Haan, and Sühring on the Two MICHELIN Stars list is Côte by Mauro Colagreco – a restaurant that brings the essence of Riviera-inspired cuisine to Bangkok, embracing Mediterranean, French and Italian influences, through its seasonal menus based on the finest produce available that day, highlighting dishes that are skillfully crafted and presented using modern techniques.
5 new entries awarded One MICHELIN Star
Of the 5 new One MICHELIN Star entries, 4 are newcomers making it into the Guide for the first time, and the other one is promoted from MICHELIN Selected.
The 4 newcomers awarded One MICHELIN Star are: AKKEE, a restaurant where bold, regional dishes of classic Thai recipes traditionally prepared in a no-frills kitchen to bring a rustic edge and distinct flavors, are served in an immersive, dimly lit setting; AVANT, a restaurant helmed by a Singaporean chef who combines traditional and modern techniques with meticulous attention to detail; GOAT, a restaurant that cleverly brings together elements of Thai, Chinese, and Western cuisines in a Thai seasonal concept, using herbs grown onsite and ingredients sourced from all over Thailand; and Aulis, a restaurant with a "Chef's Table" concept, offering the multi-course tasting menu that presents native ingredients, many sourced from Thailand and local grower collaborations. It is noteworthy that among the newcomers, two are located outside of Bangkok: AKKEE in Nonthaburi, and Aulis in Phang-Nga.
The only One MICHELIN Star laureate promoted from the MICHELIN Selected category is Coda, a restaurant that celebrates the essence of regional Thai cuisine while incorporating modern techniques to forge a fresh identity, offering a concise, expertly seasoned tasting menu, rife with delicate yet richly layered flavors.
'Baan Tepa' – The only addition to the MICHELIN Green Star list
Joining PRU, Haoma and Jampa in holding of the MICHELIN Green Star highlighting their commitment to sustainability, is Baan Tepa – a Thai contemporary restaurant. The chef and the team have not only worked hard to be eco-friendly – such as growing herbs and edible flowers in their own garden, sourcing ingredients from eco-friendly producers, composting food waste into fertilizer, and creating zero-waste meals and drinks; but also conducted various community involvement initiatives on sustainable practices. Their dedication to the environment remains strong even in tough times, thus deserving a prestigious recognition for their green efforts.
With this newly-awarded restaurant, The MICHELIN Guide Thailand selection has a total of 4 MICHELIN Green Starred establishments.
