Emerging from a second lockdown due to COVID-19, the Bailliage was eager to be able to meet up at last in support of the Bangkok restaurants weathering the pandemic storm.

On March 25, members and their guests congregated in the stunning confines of Keller, one of the city’s most exciting new restaurants.

Named after its Chef, Mirco Keller (formerly of the Ritz Carlton in Berlin and Water Library in Bangkok), this Continental-focused eatery is set in the repurposed former home of a Bangkok business tycoon, lovingly outfitted in tones of pastel pink, bone, gold and beige.

We were all set to enjoy the seven courses of the “Keller Journey”.

Digestifs

Chef Keller crafted the menu from the heart, inspired by memories of his childhood in Germany. At the same time, he sought to put a new spin on these German classics, showcasing the techniques of the chef that he had become.

The result was a tour de force of flavour especially the “Berliner Senfei” and the Wagyu hanger steak with the goulash sauce.
