A celebration of the senses D'Sens French Restaurant has invited Christophe Thomas from the famous vineyard M Chapoutier, in France's Rhone Valley, to select wines to go with the five-course set dinner designed by chef Philippes. Accompanying Thomas is the sommelier Priscilla Teo from the two-Michelin-star restaurant Le Jardin des Sens. The promotion runs from October 23 to 28 and costs Bt3,600 (Bt3,300 for Wine Club members). Call (02) 200 9000, extension 2499 or 2680.
Fantastico at La Scala Chef Luca Cesarini has created a menu of Italian specialities at the Sukhothai Hotel's La Scala restaurant. The dishes should tempt even the most fastidious epicure. Mazzancolle (king prawns, cannellini bean salad and baby asparagus) will get the juices flowing as an appetiser. There is also a selection of wood-fired oven pizzas, such as the salame piccante (smoked mozzarella with spicy salami). Then perhaps you can treat your tastebuds to vitello (sautéed veal chop, eggplant ratatouille) and experience the pleasure of fine-dining Italian-style. For dessert, a must is gianduja (chilled hazelnut soup with vanilla ice cream and warm fig cake). It will send your senses into a spin. Call (02) 344 8888, extension 5736.
