There are few dining venues that can offer an elaborate presentation of outstanding cuisine served in an ornate setting with the extra touches of impeccable service and attention to detail. Breathtaking in sight and superb in taste, such an event is both a memorable and refined experience.

Mae Naam at the Royal Phawadee Village, a sumptuous boutique resort in Patong, is a newly opened restaurant that brings together such a fusion of modern French cuisine served in the surroundings of a traditional Thai-style theme. The effect is a celebration of sights and tastes that provide an unsurpassed dining experience of exquisitely prepared food in a regal and intimate environment. Incroyable!

Sitting at a round table offers a casual and open atmosphere and an ideal opportunity to sample some of the house specialities. Our “menu séduction” or what proved to be a tantalizing fare for the evening, began with a trio of appetizers consisting of avocado with crab meat in pomello butter, a tatin of tomato mozzarella, with a basil and balsamic caramel sauce and a tartare of red tuna with sour cream.

Artistic in their presentation and magnificent in their flavour combinations, these dishes offered an insight into the chef’s culinary expertise and artistic ability. Similiarily, the main courses of crisp red tuna wrapped in bacon in a red pepper cream and Thai vegetables, rack of lamb in nougatine with carrot and mint purée and the shrimp skewers soaked with lemon and vegetables also yielded eye opening sight and taste delights.

Wines and desserts offer special complements to a meal. A white and a red from TerraMater wines from Chile proved to be a perfect accompaniment to our fine French fête, an incredible feast that was followed by a sweet procession of a sushi of fresh tropical fruits and a strawberry sundae, Mae Naam style.

Mae Naam offers an exceptional and unprecedented dining experience with fine French cuisine served in an elaborate setting yet in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly service. A restaurant to discover with an evening to savour for both tourists and residents alike! Bon appetit.
