About

The decor and ambience set the perfect tone. Located next to a lush tropical courtyard, the multiple award-winning Spice Market  offers a setting that resembles a traditional spice market. Bottles of spices line teak shelves, while jars and large gunny-sacks filled with rice and salt sit on ledges around the room. With sounds of traditional Thai music in the background, one can get a taste of the local specialities in a decor befitting its name.

Review

The menu is extensive and features dishes from different regions – each with its own unique influences. The wine list is extensive with an impressive selection from wine-producing regions around the world, including Thai wines. Each dish stays true to the heritage of Thailand’s famous cuisine, but at the same time makes it their own with interesting twists and innovative interpretations.
