[Restaurant Review] Aug - Sep 16 Le Versace Restaurant Lounge Bar The highest open-air restaurant in Patong

Awarded the Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor in 2014 and in 2015, along with many other awards, Le Versace Restaurant Lounge Bar is a venue that should not to be missed when you visit Patong.

It offers guests a superb dining experience unlike any other – as well as a stunning view from high above Patong.

La Versace Restaurant Lounge Bar is the highest open-air restaurant in Patong, which means it provides sweeping views over the town and vibrant Patong Beach. If you are searching for a place to enjoy the sunset – this venue is an optimal choice. It is worthwhile to come out a little early to the rooftop lounge to enjoy the last light of the day. Watch the blue sky gradually turn into twilight and finally dark blue, just before you begin your culinary journey with an array of sumptuous of food and drinks offered by the exclusive Le Versace menu.

Le Versace has been decorated in a chic and unique style inspired by European ‘Castle Class’ and is known as a Vesuvian-like restaurant.

from France. Choose to explore the restaurant menu or select from the Chef’s special list. The set menu is available at 2,200 THB per person exclusive of 10% service charge. It includes selections of amuse-bouches: Red Prawns Chefstyle served on leeks with champagne sauce and Ravioli of Duck Foie Gras with white butter sauce. Diners will also be delighted by the Wagyu Beef Steak with café de Paris sauce, accompanied by potatoes gratin scented with truffle oil, and a sweet surprise from the pastry chef for dessert.

Le Versace Lounge is also an ideal place to hold private celebrations, social meetings and special parties planned by the venue’s experienced organiser.

[Restaurant Review] Aug - Sep 16 The Mangosteen Wine Cellar An exclusive underground dining experience

Tucked in the tranquil residential area of Rawai on the southeast coast of Phuket island, Mangosteen Resort & Ayurveda Spa boasts the one and only underground wine cellar in Phuket offering elegant private fine dining.

The Mangosteen Wine Cellar is popular and is ranked among the top five restaurants in Rawai. As limited seating is available and the whole area is reserved for private dining, advance booking is strongly recommended. The Mangosteen Wine Cellar starts to serve from 6:30pm onwards. Though ideal for a romantic dinner for a couple, the wine cellar can also welcome a group of up to eight diners.

The underground dining and wine cellar provides two tables with maximum seating for eight. The underground room has been set up with warm and romantic dĂŠcor, and a comfortable tone set by balmy lighting complementing the orange vintage-style architecture. The private dining area is beautifully decorated and cosy for a romantic dinner for a couple; but also offers an intimate social atmosphere when filled with a few more people. Just behind the glass door is the wine cellar, which is Restaurant Preview  18

filled with hundreds of Old and New World labels. Wine enthusiasts will be delighted to spend time choosing a bottle.

There are two sets of four-course dinners on offer; and choices can be switched around. All dishes are stylishly created by talented and experienced chefs. Mushroom Cappuccino Soup doesn’t contain any caffeine – the name is derived from its fluffy froth that looks like the foam on a cappuccino. This mushroom soup has a nice texture and mellow taste, topped with butter.

Prawn Bisque is another alternative for whetting your appetite.

The second dish could be either Salmon & Mango Romance or Foie Gras.

Afterwards, the Chef provides a fruity sherbet to cleanse the palate for the main dish to come. If you are a meat lover, you will enjoy the Fillet Mignon.

The premium quality meat is cooked to perfection and served with potato gratin and powerful red wine sauce. The Chef’s Grilled Lamb Rack is another dish that should not be missed. The lamb shank is seasoned with rosemary and served with the perfect complement of wasabi mashed potatoes.

If you are not in the mood for meat and prefer a light seafood selection, the Saffron Sea Bass is an excellent choice. The pan-seared sea bass on creamy spinach with saffron sauce is simply delicious with a sweetness from the fresh fish and the mild flavour of saffron sauce complemented by nutritious spinach.

You can end your gastronomic journey with a sweet treat. The Mangosteen’s Crepe Suzette is the perfect combination of hot and cold, sweet and sour, taste and presentation – a definite delight you should never miss!

Make your travel experience a little more unique with exclusive dining at the underground Mangosteen Wine Cellar at 2,800 THB net per person inclusive of a half-bottle of wine. For more information or reservations, please contact +66 (0)76 289399.
