It’s been over three years since chefs Michelle Goh and Top Russell carried the name Mia to the top of Bangkok’s fine-dining scene. They opened their restaurant in 2019 in a small two-story house on Soi Sukhumvit 26 (not too far from K Village) with a focus on European fusion fare. Mia’s food may be sophisticated but the restaurant itself is a casual affair, exuding contemporary flair in three different rooms: the welcoming yellow Color Room, the sweet pink Floral Room, and the sleek Dark Room.

A Malaysian chef, Michelle Goh, discovered her passion for cooking as a teenager. She pursued her culinary dreams by leaving Malaysia to study at Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney, where she honed her skills. After completing her studies, Chef Goh gained experience by creating pastries in Sydney and Melbourne, showcasing her love for pastry design.

When it comes to Mia Restaurant**, the first things people would think of are their non-vegan signatures, like, Foie Gras Donut and Hot Smoked Salmon/ Ikura Salsa/ Potato Velouté, but this October, this modern European cuisine just launched their vegan tasting menu available today until the end of this month. Their 9 courses menu of non-meat and non-dairy products entail Homemade Focaccia/ Olive Oil/ Tamarind Vinegar, and followed by Cauliflower 3 Ways/ Grapes/ Bergamot/ Green Curry Velouté, Grilled Eggplant/ Silken Tofu/ Fermented Shiitake/ Homemade Sriracha and end the meal with a decadent vegan pre-dessert and dessert.

Fuel your obsession for modern European fare at Mia, a themed restaurant with a bunch of vibrant western dishes wonderfully but not excessively laced with a fine-dining ethos. Helmed by owner Chef Julien Imbert — who has had past tenures at London’s Sketch, Jason Atherton’s City Social, and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal — along with two Bangkok-based chefs Pongcharn ‘Top’ Russell and Michelle Goh, the outlet promises succulent fare that will please all experienced palates. The movie scene-like dining space here will also delight, with a killer playlist to suit.

Whilst we welcome the summer season in Southeast Asia, let Mia restaurant remind you just how refreshing the current spring time in Europe can be. The Modern European restaurant with an Asian soul presents an eight-course Spring Tasting Menu this month. It begins with Chef Top’s familiar favourites, like the Josephine Oyster with Champagne and Shiso Granita, before blossoming into new territory with a Hokkaido Scallop Crudo, Hay Aged Pigeon with Red Endive and Figs, or 48 Hours Braised Beef Short Rib with Oyster Cream and Salsify.

Skilled chef duo Michelle Goh (last year’s Best Young Chef at Top Tables) and Pongcharn “Top” Russell (who won Best Young Chef in 2018) provide an exceptional five- to eight-course European and Asian seasonal tasting menu. There's something for everyone, from the hearty roasted quail with courgette pesto to the delicate Hokkaido scallop crudo with caviar and pickled kohlrabi. For your tipple, don’t forget to check out Behind the Curtain menu, a dark and stylish booze cave, and don’t miss out on the omakase dessert bar.

Walking into the stand-alone building that houses Mia Restaurant located off Phrom Phong’s Sukhumvit Soi 26 in Bangkok, the seductive aroma of roasted pineapples permeated the air while on our way out, the fragrance of caramelised apples from its signature Tarte Tatin (THB620, for sharing) accompanied us out. I can almost still smell it a week later.
