Ma Du Zi Hotel and the hotel’s restaurant La Truffe are trying to make their mark as being an ultra-exclusive hideaway for Bangkok’s elite. You must have a booking or the number to the front desk or one of the staff’s mobile numbers to gain entry, or you might just chat up the guard at the gate and that would probably be more troublesome. This also includes gaining access to the bar for a drink, as they do not allow walk-in clientèle. Quizzically, the main entrance to the hotel opens into the bar with the minuscule lobby tucked away behind.

The French Cuisine is by Chef Nicolas Reynard from Provence and it is very, very good. The “After Work Wine Promotion” is a good deal, considering there is a free flow of wine from 17:30-20:30 along with a few tapas for 650 Baht Nett. A lunch menu is also available for 650 Baht Nett.
In addition to the à la carte menu they offer a Set Dinner Menu at Baht 2,500 that includes:
Amuse Bouche
