There are many reasons why you should visit Viu, a sleek eatery on the 12th floor of The St. Regis Bangkok, especially on the weekends.
Aside from an uninterrupted panorama view of the Royal Bangkok Sports Club's golf course with a city skyline as the backdrop, the restaurant offers a dinner buffet that's nothing short of epic.
Though variety is not the name of the game, the restaurant prides itself on the quality of its buffet offerings: from a selection of seafood on ice to premium cuts, such as Australian Wagyu beef and lamb rack; and from imported cold cuts and cheeses, like a Spanish combo of jamón Ibérico and manchego, to Thai delights that get rotated on a regular basis.
For an exquisite dinner experience, the restaurant serves a whole Canadian lobster prepared in the French style as lobster Thermidor. Each diner is presented with this delectable grilled lobster, accompanied by optional side dishes such as refreshing slaw or aromatic truffle risotto.
Served on Friday and Saturday nights, from 6pm onwards, the Epic Dinner buffet sets you back at a rate starting at B2,500 per person, including soft drinks.
In celebration of the past Italian National Day and Republic Day, Festa della Repubblica, the restaurant joins in the fun by setting up an Italian corner, taking guests' taste buds on a gastronomic journey throughout July.
Expect an enticing line-up of Italian dishes, including freshly-baked truffle pizza, al dente beef stew risotto, truffle cream soup topped with an onsen egg and vegan-friendly aubergine parmigiana made with locally-sourced produce.
Other year-round Italian favourites on the all-you-can-eat menu include a choice of pasta with pomodoro, aglio e olio and arrabbiata sauces, spinach ravioli and a live Parmigiano-reggiano cheese wheel pasta station.
Moreover, Mediterranean cuisine has been marked as its next gastronomic destination and inspiration to be presented on the seasonal menu.
Viu at the St. Regis Bangkok is open daily from 6.30am-10pm. Call 02-207-7777, email fb.bangkok@stregis.com or visit stregisbangkokdining.com.
