Cool drinks, fine food and stimulating scenery, all served al fresco, are set to draw in evening wanderers in the central Wireless neighbourhood now that Plaza Athénée Bangkok, A Royal Méridien Hotel has opened an indulgent new Winter Beer Garden right beside the tree-lined boulevard.
With a Parisian street café concept, there are elegant large outdoor couches covered with comfy cushions around low coffee-tables offer plenty of space for enjoying the hotel’s gourmet finger food and creative cocktails, specially-selected wines and well-chilled local and imported beers.
As a fancy fountain bubbles between bushes beneath oxygenating tree foliage, a little night music plays in the background and as the world goes by, savouring every moment of Bangkok’s winter months at this outdoor café. It is a perfect spot for an after-work gathering point or for enjoying a romantic prelude to dinner or to have a relaxing nightcap after dinner and watch the city goes by.
Beverages are served at a very special price to make it more affordable for frequent visits. Beers are offered both by the bottle and pitcher, including Beer Chang on draught, with prices ranging from as little as THB 90. Fresh and fruity cocktails such as frozen Thai Sabai, mojitos and margaritas, enhanced with the likes of passion fruit, lychee, elderflower, berry and melon, come by the glass or carafe (450 ml), with the latter at THB 360. Sparkling, red and white wines are specially selected to complement the ambiance, ranging Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to Chilean Merlot and French Blanc de Blancs, all at the same prices of THB220/glass, THB1,100/bottle. What’s more all prices are Net.
The hotel’s renowned culinary team brings to the feast delicious and nutritious tapas explorations from East and West, ranging from Crispy pork knuckle with spicy sauce to Papaya salad with grilled chicken and Vegetable samosa with mint sauce, from a fast food menu of a dozen or so items.
Where “green peace” combines with savvy f&b and colourful slices of city life new perspectives are brought to the table. And all just steps from Ploen Chit BTS Skytrain station.
