Superb! The staff are attentive and explain some of the dishes to you as you go along, this is great as you don’t want to embarrass yourself and saves the blushes. Food was incredible. Fresh, tasty and delicious. It is expensive but you really do feel looked after and would highly recommend the treat. Can’t wait to pop into London restaurant to see if that lives up to the same standard.

“…would highly recommend the treat…”
Spicy or not spicy, is the question.
Of course, to help you in your choices and culinary expectations do not hesitate to consult Khun Chaiwat, Khun Thong, Khun Channa. They will be happy to assist you.
To offer a cuisine that you qualify “incredible. Fresh, tasty and delicious” Master Chef Nooror uses only the highest quality of products. Free-Range chicken & duck, and the best suppliers of Charolais or Wagyu beef, organic vegetables, organic rice and herbs from Provincial and Thai Royal Project farms. Providing to our guests this permanent high quality of products obviously has a cost.
Can't wait to see you again after your London experience.
Thank you for your friendly comment.

This restaurant was recommended to us by fellow travelers and locals alike, so we had to check it out. Boy am I happy that we did!
The restaurant itself is really beautiful and everything feels high end. While waiting for your table the host/hostess will offer to take you to the bar for a pre-meal drink. This, however, is not your typical bar experience. There is a separate seating area and there are dedicated servers. Definitely a classy way to keep you occupied while waiting.
The dinner menu is extensive, and offers meals in three ‘categories’ of preparation. Historic, traditional, and contemporary. In this way you can get a full view of where Thai cuisine has been and is/might be headed. Portions are very healthy, and the spice level can be modified to account for any taste. We really loved our meal there, and would happily recommend a visit for anybody traveling to Bangkok.

Even before I got out of the taxi someone came and helped me with my bags. I had no reservation but the friendly Mr. Kosa managed to find us a table. The thing is, I was wearing flip flops and ma husband was wearing shorts, they quickly handle him some black pants almost like a sarong so we could fit the dress code. After that we ordered the chef’s menu and everything was just perfect: decor, light, food, drinks....and the most amazing staff you can imagine.
On my way out I stopped by the gift store, there you can buy some blue and white ceramics, amazing ones!
On my way out I even got an Orquidea from Mr. Kosa, so lovely.
I highly recommend this experience!

We had visited the Blue Elephant Restaurant next to our hotel, The Eastin Grand Sathorn in Bangkok, at the recommendation of our tour guide, Judy. We spoke with Noi at the entrance who explained that the restaurant was not open for another hour. We chatted for about twenty minutes and told him we would come back the next day. He said they would take care of us....and boy did they!!
When we arrived they gave us the best table in the house; on an elevated platform complete with flowers and candles. They treated us like royalty, gave us several complimentary items and even a gift at the end of our evening. They were also gracious enough to give us a tour of this historic three story restaurant that has had such luminaries as, President George Bush Sr., President Vladimir Putin, UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Rod Stewart. They even showed us the third floor where they conduct cooking classes. A special thank you to Noi, Jim, Jacky and Chaiwat for going above and beyond. You made us both feel like family! Oh yes, and the food was excellent!

Blue Elephant delivers what it promises - unique menu, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. The house itself is a charming old house with high ceilings and wooden floors and you just have a feeling you stepped into another dimension.
We tried several things from the menu (lamb, duck, a couple of desserts..) and we must say we were delighted by every dish we had.
Even though it's a bit pricy, specially compared to other fine dining places in Bangkok, we would recommend Blue Elephant.

Thank you for your comment.
Our building, more than a century old, is one of the last of this style in Bangkok (facing BTS station Surasak). The decoration creates the ideal décor to offer this refined cuisine of the past and contemporary delights.
“….One of the nicest dinner places ever…”
We are very proud to read you!
Master Chef Nooror, proposes a large selection of dishes based on recipes, products and ingredients from different provinces of Thailand.
The curry is a creation of our Master Chef Nooror. A true family tradition.
Her mother prepared many varied curries for meals at major events such as weddings and village festivals in Chachoengsao province.
At the request of many of our guests’ Chef Nooror created a range of Blue Elephant curry's available especially in our restaurant shop.
We look forward to seeing you again

After having visited Blue Elephant in London, Copenhagen and Malta, we had high expectations, but we were disappointed with Bangkok. Drinks (in particular Strawberry Daquiri) was not drinkable. Serving took for ages (1 hour for starters) even though there were few people. Food was OK, but not in any way extraordinary.

Wonderful! The servers were attentive and friendly. There were so many options to choose from, and they were all excellent. This is fine Thai dining . Lovely atmosphere. We would definitely recommend this and would go back if we were in Bangkok or any other city they have a restaurant.
A lot of food for the money. It was about $125 for two with appetizers, drinks, entrees and desserts.

We visited the Blue Elephant on our last night in Bangkok before we flew off to Phuket and what a place it is! Obviously it isn't cheap and if you are after bargain food there are thousands of other places to choose from in this huge city. We didn't book a table prior to our visit but simply wandered past and went in because it looks so stunning from the outside. This wasn't a problem for the friendly staff and the fact that I was wearing shorts - they lend you suitable, baggy Thai style over trousers.
The food was beautifully cooked and very nicely presented and was by far the best meal we had during our entire stay in Thailand and when we return, we will revisited this fabulous restaurant.

The colonial mansion with its colonial decor is enchanting, and the service is good. They set out to provide "royal Thai cuisine." The food is good. But it is Thai food, and the taste and ingredients are not really different from what you get in the streets or small family shops. So ... to pay in excess of US$50 for a Thai meal?? And US$10-15 for a drink?? Some wealthy foreigners may like it but for most rational people, it is beyond ridiculous. This place has long had a reputation among local Thais that it is a place only to bring foreigners to.

Big thank you for your message. Since our opening 17 years ago our clientele is made up of regular Thai clients, Bangkok residents as well as visitors.
Our clients give us excellent feedback on our top-quality products, diverse menu and wide selection of styles. Many as well also enjoy street food, which represents some of the wide culinary fare available in Thailand.
Blue Elephant always uses prime quality products. Chicken is free range and beef from the best local breeds, with herbs and vegetables usually selected from the Royal Project or organic farms. And yes, these products come with a higher price tag.
That is why most of our clients love Chef Nooror’s recipes, with our excellence noted by the Michelin Guide.
We hope you will visit Blue Elephant again to experience its broad range of authentic Thai tastes.

The blue elephant is probably one of the nicest and most expensive restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food was incredibly good we had a few starters to share and then a main to share and it was amazing.
The staff was really nice as well.
On the phone when we made the booking they said the dress code is smart casual, but didn’t specify any further, so my partner was wearing a shirt and shorts. When we got there they told us men are not allowed to wear shorts but they provided Thai pants for him to wear.

« …It was amazing,.. one of the nicest”
Thank you for your feedback.
We are happy to read that you enjoyed the cuisine of our master chef Nooror.
Product quality is the priority of our teams.
And, believe me, this is not a concept for responding to trip advisor comments!
This translates into a constant search for the best suppliers across the country. We know and follow with our Chef all aspects of production.
Really, the Quality of products is part of our main objective. We privilege Free-Range chicken & duck, local Thai produced Charolais or Wagyu beef, organic vegetables and herbs from Provincial and Thai Royal Project farms.
And yes, all best quality comes with price tag.
Khun Channa, Khun Chaiwat, Khun Tong, and the entire staff do their very best for our visitors to feel comfortable and have a pleasant time in our more than 100-year-old building located just opposite BTS Surasak station.
We have a smart casual dress code only in the evening, this at the request of many visitors who like to enjoy a select and sophisticated ambiance.
Gentlemen are invited to wear long pants. If necessary the reception of the restaurant can provide for the evening a nice pair of Thai silk pants for comfort and elegance.

The famous chain with branches in london , paris and other cities. Visited by president bush, putin, rod stewart and others
My 5th time here but first time for lunch. Apart from the set menu, the a la carte items are the same
We usually go for the less spicy items like chicken satay, lamb massamum curry, duck confit, chinese spinach. All very good
Very good service
Probably 1 of the best non-michelin thai restaurants around
Used to be bustling pre-covid, hopefully 2H 2021 will be better with the vaccines

Loved the food and the great atmosphere, the attentive service of this very special place. We had blackened scallops for starters, a lamb and a crab curry dish for main and tried a couple of desserts, both delicious. The decorations and wooden furnishing also contributed to a perfect evening, what a great dinner experience. I highly recommend coming here when you are in Bangkok!

My family came for holiday to Phuket, and we decided to visit Blue Elephant Restaurant, since it is iconic in the island and it has wonderful reviews in different publishings.
We all loved the exterior of the building, a beautiful colonial house in the middle of a garden decorated with blue fairy lights. The interior decoration is very cozy and charming as well, mainly wood and colonial aesthetic.
We chose the five course menu, and all dishes were delicious. Tradicional Thai dishes presented in a beautiful sophisticated way.
Service was also very pleasant. Many thanks to our wonderful waiter from Philippines who took care of us during our dinner!
If you are looking for a special dinner with Thai flavour in the heart of Phuket town, I absolutely recommend to visit Blue Elephant restaurant.

Thank you for your visit with your family our cooking school in Phuket Town.
As has Bangkok cooking school, our Chefs have a mission to increase the level of knowledge and practice of each student. From beginner to experienced, we welcome students of all levels.
The cooking school can also be a family experience.
The program is different every day, so some of our students sign up for several classes in order to learn more about Thai cuisine and perfect their techniques. Each student leaves the cooking school with the practice of having prepared 4 to 5 recipes and dishes with our Chefs. Practice is the most important here but also a good mood.
At the end of the class everyone receives a Blue Elephant's bag and apron, a certificate and some Blue Elephant products so that at home you can amaze your guests with your own Thai dishes. The cooking school is open 7 days a week.
“”Many thanks to our wonderful waiter from Philippines’’
We're going to pass your message on to Erwin.
We hope to see you again soon at the Blue Elephant in Phuket Town or in Bangkok ,near the BTS station Surasak

Sathorn is Bangkok’s central business district, but here you’ll find much more than international banks and suited-up office workers. Take a stroll along the small alleys between the skyscrapers and you’ll find yourself among Bangkokians living life at a much slower pace. Feast on fantastic Thai food which you can find in the town-house restaurants, office food courts and sidewalk food stalls spread all over the area, especially around St. Louis Hospital. A visit to Sathorn is not complete without a drink at one of the glitzy sky bars perched atop its skyscrapers.
