Oth Sombath reinvents Thai cuisine with his genius touch, respecting tradition while giving free rein to his imagination.

This talented chef applies subtle artistry to create sublime and delicately flavoured dishes.

Basil, lemongrass and ginger blend with a multitude of spices in a crafty play of contrasts. This fusion of diverse origins is served in a contemporary setting designed by Patrick Jouin.

A blend of Asian and European influences, contemporary Thai cuisine originates somewhere between land and sea, with rice and fish its basic ingredients. Over the centuries, Thai cuisine has become enriched by foreign additions, with noodles introduced by the Chinese, chilli by the Portuguese and curry and spices by the Indians. The Thai people were inspired by all of these culinary movements to create unique flavours and exceptional recipes.

Thai cuisine is not only refined and flavoursome, it is also wonderfully healthy. Rich and varied fish and vegetables are cooked with a whole host of spices and aromatic plants with recognised virtues. Carefully measured doses of coriander, ginger, lemongrass, basil, cardamom and curry create the exceptional tonality that characterises Thai cuisine. Thai food is always cooked in a wok and so uses very little fat; this preserves tastes and colours perfectly, as well as the nutritional qualities of each ingredient.
