Hyde and Seek Gastro Bar At Plaza Athenee Residence on www.bumres.com
For more yummy review of Bangkok restaurants please Click Here!
Hyde & Seek has been the hot spot for quite sometime among restaurateurs
of Bangkok. The name speaks for an entertaining and electrifying character of the dining experience. Gastro Bar is an extension added after the name
Hyde & Seek to announce that this is a food bar or a bar for your
stomach. Chef Ian Kittichai, a Thai chef who is famous for his successful
restaurants business in Barcelona and New York. Now he is back in his homeland, serving great
food to his Thai fellows and promise to cater a playful culinary experience.
This uniquely fine restaurant is located at Plaza Athenee Residence, accessible
from both Wireless Road as well as RuamRudee Road. In terms of seating, two
areas are available for you to choose from; indoor and outdoor. Interior
area is divided to bar and table seating. Many tables on the patio are
set for a relaxing meal on any nice days.
Hyde & Seek offers an exclusive blend of international foods; mainly Asian,
American and European. Sections in the menu are universally divided into appetizers,
main dishes, and desserts. Adequate amount of selections are typical in
an upscale restaurant like this one. Details of the menu can be seen in
the Tab Menu as usual. I was there for lunch, so I went for the lunch
special at the price of 295 Baht.
The lunch option includes a starter and a main dish taken from the a la
carte menu. And for desserts, pay 90 Baht extra. By saving 200 Baht
for the main dish + appetizer combo, I considered this offer to be a reasonable bargain.
For two guys, we ordered five dishes. First one was the crispy bits
of battered Calamari, delicious and well presented (came in a tin bucket). Quantity was more than what I had expected
(see photo). Next one was the Waldourf
Salad or an American salad. New
experience to a spring mix with fruits and walnuts salad was interesting. To me, I wasn’t so fond of the weird looking walnuts
(looked like a brain). But, I assumed that
the crispy texture of the nuts would be ideal in the salad.
Our first main dish was the highlight, the Wagyu Burger. A love at first sight was with the chunky
ground Wagyu. Staring at it, I knew that
there was no way I could shove the thickness into my mouth. A solution to enjoying this burger was to
flatten it down a bit. Though it was
still too thick, I had to cut it up some to eat it (I feel ashamed). Grilled to my favor, medium rare; the burger
was amazing; the good quality patty was tasteful. Hyde & Seek’s Burger definitely deserved
their prize as voted to be the Best Burger in Town in the CNNGO.
Our other main dish was a Gratin.
Served hot, the crispy brown surface concealed a good amount of macaroni
and cheese. After getting the first bite,
I had to force myself to not be so worried about my weight so I finish this delicious
high calories dish stress-free. For dessert,
we only ordered the Panna Cotta. Our
sweet ending wasn’t as lovely as expected.
I thought it was too sour. I guessed the tang their intention to bring the invigorating feel.
Overall, my lunch at Hyde & Seek was satisfying. The food was great but the service lacked
caring a bit. The water was too
expensive (singha water 750cc for 65 Baht).
However, I really enjoyed the uniquely charming culinary. If you were looking for a delicious mix of American
and European menu and a comfortable yet elegant atmosphere, I would
suggest trying this place out. You will
be impressed like I did for sure.
