step up to the plate: Suhring Bangkok

If you want to taste authentic German fare with a phenomenal wine pairing in a city known for bold spices, Suhring is the place to go. The restaurant, run by twin brothers Mathias and Thomas Suhring, has proudly held on to two Michelin stars since 2018.The duo seamlessly melds flavours, techniques and experiences accumulated in Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Thailand, under one modish roof. The result is a sophisticated – and playful – seasonal haute cuisine menu with a strong German identity and contemporary finesse.

Step through the luscious front garden into a charming 1970s villa. Some tables overlook the open kitchen, while others enjoy the lush tropical landscape. It’s a blissful and calming breath of fresh air in Thailand’s energetic capital, offering an escape from the bustling streets.

The menu includes Aal Grun, smoked eel with cucumber, dill and pike roe; a refined take on the regional German vegetable dish Leipziger Allerlei, featuring Brittany lobster, white asparagus, peas and morels; a nostalgic currywurst street food tribute served in a box complete with a wooden fork; and spaetzle egg noodles topped with Allgauer mountain cheese and crispy onion – all inciting German culinary nostalgia with a modern twist.
