Romance and indulgence in a serene Bangkok hideaway where German roots meet global inspiration.
There’s something quietly magical about stepping into Sühring. Nested in a tropical garden, this 1970s Bangkok villa whispers “romance” in a dozen different languages, some of which happen to be edible.
Imagine the nostalgic charm of German soul food, reimagined by two identical masterminds, Mathias and Thomas Sühring, who have infused their heritage with the kind of globe-trotting flavours you collect like passport stamps. The result? A dining experience that feels like unlocking a series of love letters, each written with fork and knife.
A Romantic Tango Between Memory and Flavor
From the first bite, this Relais & Châteaux restaurant insists you forget the world outside. Picture this: soft, pillowy spaetzle, swirled with earthy Périgord truffle and daring you not to swoon. The Kagoshima A5 wagyu? It practically melts under the smoky-sweet seduction of kintoki carrot and braised oxtail. Somewhere between the lobster kissed by vanilla and those hazelnut-studded persimmons, I caught myself smiling across the table, soaking up that rare feeling of being completely present. Sühring has this way of turning every bite into a quiet little occasion, like the way first love lingers in fleeting, tender moments. And yet, for all its decadence, nothing about the villa feels pretentious. The vibe is more understated romance than stiff formality. You can lounge beside an open kitchen, watching the brothers’ artistic choreography, or slip into the atrium space, where tropical greens climb toward the glass ceiling, filtering the light in soft, cinematic blush tones.
Flavours That Whisper Romance
The wine program is bold but approachable, full of German and Austrian treasures that feel like hushed secrets. And if you’re adventurous (which, by now, you should be), the non-alcoholic juice pairings are somehow as cheeky as they are sophisticated. Sühring isn’t just a meal, it’s a perfectly folded love note. It’s where past meets possibility, where German nostalgia is waltzing hand in hand with tropical Bangkok allure. And while the flavours might fade, this memory will linger like a beautiful whisper.
