Amazing Dinner at Gaggan Anand

Gaggan Anand Bangkok - #17 in the world

The highlight of my 2 days in Bangkok was dinner at extraordinary Gaggan Anand, a restaurant like no other. Kolkata-born Gaggan worked at El Bulli in Spain before moving to Bangkok. His first restaurant, Gaggan, rose to #1 in Asia and #4 in the world before he closed it after a dispute with his financial partners… right after our visit four years ago. His new restaurant Gaggan Anand features just 14 seats around a chef’s counter. It is a 3 hours delight... a wonderful culinary delight with humor, music, entertainment and showmanship. As Gaggan notes on his website… “Are you ready to embark on the journey of flavors? Are you ready to experience food as an act of live and rebellion? Join us for a culinary adventure of the senses and a roller coaster ride of emotions”.

Rain and traffic caused most of the 14 guests to arrive late... so our 7pm rez was pushed back to 7:30pm.

Lots of time to explore include upstairs at Gaggan's casual Indian restaurant, Ms. Maria and Mrs, Singh (ranked #33 in Asia(, where the crew insisted on a photo op.
