Baan Tepa Culinary Space

Baan Tepa Culinary Space offers an exceptional Thai dining experience. The seating arrangement is well thought out, allowing many tables to have a view of the kitchen while still maintaining a comfortable distance between tables. The food was delicious and creative, and the staff provided excellent service throughout the meal. Parking was convenient, which added to the overall ease of the experience. Highly recommend this place for both locals and tourists looking for a unique and memorable Thai dining experience.

This was a TOUR DE FORCE of Thai fine cooking. Before beginning our meal, we were led into the kitchen for a tour, giving us a glimpse of the magic behind the kitchen. The food was also excellent, with a wonderful progression of courses. Service was excellent and the waiters explained all the dishes and ingredients. There were so many interesting and creative flavor profiles. Desserts were also excellent! Following our meal, we were given a tour of their private garden and Chef Tam personally thanked us for dining at her restaurant. If you are looking to experience the best of Thai fine cooking with world class hospitality, Baan Tepa is the place.

Food and staff were AMAZING! There's a reason this dining experience comes so highly recommended. You start off actually in the kitchen for the introduction to the meal. It's an amazing journey through the whole of Thailand

Baan Tepa the brainchild of Chef Tam which I am deeply honored to be able to dine her restaurant from the beginning to now a two stars ⭐️ restaurant. All I can say that all her hard work is worth it . She found her own identity in the type of cuisines in Thai and the multi flavors she had achieved in the new direction is commendable. Truly she has brought the different part of Thai cuisine to us diners is admirable. I shall return and await to award that fifth stars to the food . Service is amicable good 👍

An amazing food experience! The evening started with beautiful cocktails and a garden tour, followed by welcome drinks in the kitchen and then an amazing tasting menu! I chose to also have the wine pairing- which was wonderful and they even adjusted it slightly for me when I said that I preferred red wine. The staff was phenomenal and I loved where we were sitting because we could watch them at work! Each plate was like a piece of art- and the explanations were great. The flavors were unique and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and experience.

One of the best meals I ever had. I added on the non alcoholic pairing and like all other fine dining in Bangkok, kombucha is involved again. It was forgettable. But the food is very very well done. Flavours were spot on, temperatures and textures done right, and cooking was detailed and immaculate. Started off the night with a kitchen tour. I thought a lot more can be done rather than just a first stop to have an amuse bouche and a welcome drink. More enthusiasm on the equipment they have, the operations flow, the cleanliness and hygiene etc! Maybe they did all these at the start and most people found that boring but I thought the whole reason for a kitchen tour was to share your excitement and hard work in the kitchen planning and construction! First 3 bites were very modern interpretations is various nam priks around Thailand. Many other fine dining, even the other thai 2 star place started off with very light flavours which got stronger. Baan Tepa started off strong and ended even stronger and I really liked that. Thai food is usually always strongly flavored. Namprik kapi’s strong shrimp paste smell, nam prik pon pla fish flavour and nam prik pao’s sweet chilli jam all came though were many layers on ingredients. Tom Jiew temperature was fantastically times. Cold enough to feel refreshing in my mouth, and within 2 seconds, got warmed and the flavours started coming through. Each chew tells me how slimy, fresh and umami the ingredients were. To nit pick, it was described as a soup made from sweet and hot basil. The sweet basil did not come through at all but the herbalicious hot basil punched all the way. The dong dang noodle dish was one of my favourite dishes for the night. Aside from having perfectly cooked ingredients which was a given, the “inspired from wok fried” dish managed to impart this “wok flavour” into the sauce. The right balance between charred and burnt was in the extremely rich sauce. It was a flavour and texture bomb. The river prawn was really beautiful to look at and done as perfectly as it could be. Nice char, perfectly grilled meat which was still translucent right in the middle topped with creamy tommalley sauce full of tomalley. Yes, I have had such sauce that lacked any tomalley umami. However, as perfect as this dish is, I think a regular perfectly grilled live river prawns with nam jim seafood is very hard to beat. Duck dish was also my favourite and I enjoyed the rice. It was oily and flavourful and reminded me of a good classic claypot rice. I preferred it if they served the duck dishes together so I can pair each component with the rice. Desserts hot and cold were modern interpretations and I liked the chewy glutinous flour texture of the yam paste waffle! Service was excellent and friendly. While they had a script to follow, I felt that the staff were genuinely engaging and understood me well. It is really not cheap. But I haven’t experienced this kind of satisfaction in a similar concept restaurant yet. I will be back for more!

Visited in July 2024 for dinner. A visit to Baan Tepa had been the cards for a long time, and I finally got the chance to try it out during my recent trip to BKK. The dinner was a 11 course meal (excluding a couple of starting bites). The dinner starts with a couple of small bites in the kitchen after which you’re led to your table. The main dinner starts with another set of small bites followed by a series of proper courses. The main course for the ongoing menu is a couple of duck dishes. Every course was fantastic in my view, with each dish bringing a unique flavour profile to the taste buds. The dishes take you on a journey to different parts of Thailand with seafood courses forming a good chunk of the experience. My favourite courses were the Squid & Noodles, the River Prawn, and the 2 Duck main courses. I was a bit disappointed with the main dessert course, but the petit fours were really good. I did not have any drinks but there is a comprehensive beverage pairing menu comprising wine, champagne and sake for those who are interested. Service is really good here, as would be expected of a 2 Michelin star restaurant. Chef Tam even came out and attended to the diners at every table which I found to be a very nice gesture. The restaurant was also kind to cater to a specific food allergy I have by replacing an ingredient in a couple of courses. Overall, Baan Tepa is a fantastic restaurant, totally deserving of its 2 Michelin star status. A visit to Baan Tepa should be in your bucket list if you live in Bangkok or anywhere in Southeast Asia.

During our recent visit to Baan Tepa, we experienced what can only be described as a dining revelation. Despite its 2-star Michelin rating, the experience felt more akin to a 3-star establishment, surpassing even some of the 3-star restaurants we've frequented. Every dish was a masterful blend of creativity and flavor, with each unique element coming together harmoniously. Note that this is not Southern Thai food but contemporary Thai. I love that the Chef incorporated herbs and plants from the restaurant’s garden. We booked the later slot, so dinner started with a kitchen tour and not garden tour. The service was impeccable, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. Our main server, Team, provided attentive and genuine service, even waiting with us outside the restaurant for 20 minutes until our taxi arrived (it was us who insisted on standing because we were too full btw). This level of dedication and hospitality, paired with the exquisite cuisine, made our evening truly unforgettable. Baan Tepa is a gem that outshines its current rating, offering an exceptional dining experience.
