SÜHRING

Went this restaurants few years back before it was so famous. Taste is good and the food is like a piece of art.

This is my third visit to Sühring since 2017 and the first since they earned their Michelin stars. I booked in advance for a lunch for my wife’s birthday for a party of 6, which included our parents, a 2 year old toddler and nanny. The restaurant made an exception to accommodate our toddler on this occasion and made a private area for us, so thank you for this.

While the food was good, I feel compelled to share my experience and say that the service was not up to scratch nor on par of a Michelin starred restaurant. The service was a bit cold and the staff did not make an effort to understand the needs of a toddler and parents.

What annoyed me the most is within the first few minutes of sitting down. I confirmed clearly with the restaurant in advance that it will be “4 adults dining” on the 4 course set menu. Our waitress at the table and the front desk did not seem to communicate and thought it was 5 people dining on the set menu. Who is the fifth person..? My toddler or my nanny? What’s more irritating is that she was thinking our toddler will have the 4 course menu and was pushing for our toddler to have the adult set menu. I mean, which type of parents gives their 2 year old a THB 4800++ set menu? First, kids doesn’t do set menus because they will be screaming well before the second course arrive, and second, they would not appreciate it especially when there’s some adventurous ingredients involved. They will be happier with a single dish of pasta. I did not want to make a scene whilst there but thought this was the strangest experience among our fine dining adventures.

My second gripe is the music. There is none and it was too quiet. We were sat in a nice private area with a fancy record player and records collection in the background. I see it was powered ON. I asked the waitress if we can turn it on, she swiftly replied that it was “broken since yesterday”. Umm ok, does she think we are two year olds too?

In addition, for a 4800 per head menu, it was bizarre that tea and coffee was not included. When asked what type of coffee they have, it was just from an Illy machine, which is like a dollar or less per pod. Why isn’t it included? Well, I guess I am not missing out too much.

Excellent all around!

My dining experience at the restaurant was disappointing. Despite the overrated reputation, the staff asked us to vacate our table prematurely to accommodate another round, leaving us feeling rushed and undervalued as patrons.

Worth spending time here. Quite entertaining German twist fine dining
