Siam Paragon reinforces its position as a global shopping and lifestyle destination by introducing Gourmet Garden, a world-class dining paradise in the heart of Bangkok. The new culinary destination brings together more than thirty fine-dining restaurants and dessert cafés across an 8,000-square-metre area on the G floor of the mall, and it is organised around a design blueprint called Pandorascape that harmoniously blends nature, spectacular art and the most advanced technology to answer diners seeking a new experience of cuisine, convenience and aesthetic pleasure. Every detail from floor to ceiling is arranged around natural elements, including a giant bamboo-column installation by the noted designer Korakot Aromdee, who works with natural materials. The atmosphere shifts from dawn to dusk, positioning this new international food and gathering landmark in the busiest centre of Bangkok. To suit the overall mood of the new dining zone, each restaurant and dessert café is designed in an open layout; some restaurants offer generous terraces where diners can look out over a lagoon and shaded courtyards. Gourmet Garden offers a differentiated dining experience, gathering more than thirty established restaurants and dessert cafés able to meet every eating occasion of the day, from breakfast to an elegant dinner with a special someone, or a cold night out with friends. The zone is delivered under a distinctive Siam Paragon philosophy that treats dining as a total environmental experience in which cuisine, art and nature are inseparable.
