Michelin Restaurant in Ploenchit
Elements Restaurant is on the 25th floor of The Okura Prestige Bangkok. We went for dinner on a quiet weekday evening, curious to see how this Michelin-starred restaurant balances French and Japanese influences. The view over the city was already worth the visitโespecially at sunsetโbut it was the calm, open kitchen and the attention to detail that stood out.
The restaurant takes inspiration from the two-star Ciel Bleu in Amsterdam, but the team here clearly has its own identity. The atmosphere was relaxedโnot stiff or overly formalโand the staff made us feel comfortable from the start.
We chose the six-course Chikyu menu. Every dish came with a short explanation, but it never felt rehearsed. The Hokkaido scallop was lightly seared, with a clean ponzu dressing that kept the seafood centre stage. Later, we had a small serving of smoked eel with caviarโsurprisingly gentle in flavour, with no heavy sauces.
The Akita wagyu was cooked medium-rare and served with reduced jus and seasonal vegetables that werenโt just there for decoration. Even the bread was memorableโserved warm with butter that had just a hint of miso.
