Bangkok, Thailand – [11 April 2024] – Blue by Alain Ducasse unveils a new facet to Bangkok’s newest gastronomy chapter with a casual all-day-dining space at ICONSIAM. Showcasing an exciting new menu of curated international favourites across 120 sqm of contemporary elegance, this extension brings a relaxed yet refined approach to dining; allowing guests an informal experience different to the main restaurant, which continues to offer luxurious fine dining befitting its one Michelin star status.
The new space offers an accessible all-day à la carte menu, blending approachable international flavours with exceptional quality and contemporary flair. Diners can expect spectacular savoury dishes and delectable desserts alongside crafted afternoon tea, signature cocktails, and refreshing mocktails inspired by seasonal ingredients — all in a casual atmosphere while maintaining the exceptional culinary standards of world’s celebrated Chef Alain Ducasse.
Helmed by acclaimed Executive Pastry Chef and artisan baker Chef Christophe Grilo, the new casual all-day-dining experience presents a thoughtfully curated and versatile à la carte menu that celebrates classic French cuisine reimagined for everyday enjoyment. Guests are invited to indulge in everything from leisurely brunches and relaxed lunches to evening or late-night bite, an experience that promises to delight and inspire.
A Menu to Satisfy Every Craving
Guests can begin with refined classics such as the Avocado Toast, featuring toasted bread topped with Hass avocado and sunny side-up egg, Grilled Ham and Cheese, classic sandwich with layers of Paris ham and Comté cheese on white bread, lightly buttered and grilled. Served with salad or indulge in the Boston Lobster Roll—a buttery brioche bun generously filled with sweet lobster, chili mayonnaise, and chives.
For warm and comforting options, the Tomato Minestrone Soup offers a medley of seasonal vegetables in a bright tomato broth, while pasta lovers can delight in the Paccheri with Slow-Braised Beef Cheeks, rich with savoury depth of Paccheri pasta served with slow-cooked Wagyu brisket in a rich tomato and red wine sauce. Finished with bacon, shallots, and parmesan, or the refined simplicity of Aglio & Olio Linguine, with garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley.
The dessert selection is equally captivating. Highlights include the Eclair Vanilla, a delicate Choux pastry rich with smooth vanilla almond cream and vanilla glaze and the Pineapple Cheesecake served with lime, red wine reduction, and aged Parmesan. For a cooling finish, the Ice Cream Parfait comes in flavours like Chocolate Hazelnut, Pistachio Praline, and Pineapple Rum Raisin. Guests can also indulge in the Afternoon Tea Set that offers a perfect blend of savoury bites and sweet treats paired with signature hot chocolate and artisanal coffee, sourced directly from Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse and La Manufacture de Café Alain Ducasse in Paris, bringing the essence of Ducasse’s French craftsmanship to Bangkok.
