Saffron Restaurant Authentic Thai Flavours with an Innovative Twist Saffron [pronounced saf.fron] is a precious spice derived from the saffron crocus flowers. Believed to have originated from the Greek island of Cree, saffron is native to Europe, South and Southwest Asia. Just as 75,000 flowers are needed to produce just one pound of saffron, Saffron culminates from a myriad of authentic flavours and ingenious culinary skills. The signature Thai restaurant of Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, Saffron first opened in Banyan Tree Phuket in 1995. Saffron is richly inspired by the art of traditional Thai cuisine in all its splendour. Presenting the authentic tastes of Thai cuisine at its best, Saffron allows one to savour Thai flavours convivially in a contemporary yet classically elegant setting. Traditional cooking methods reminiscent of the techniques passed down from generation to generation are steep in Saffron’s culinary presentation, which features a variety of delicacies originated from the historical Thai royal courts, dishes popular amongst countryside villagers to all-time favourite home recipes. Savour time-honoured Thai fare enhanced with innovative touches by dedicated chefs and the graceful service which is uniquely Banyan Tree.
