Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie

Le Normandie has been Bangkok’s benchmark for French haute cuisine for over six decades. Established in 1958 at the Mandarin Oriental, it is synonymous with sophisticated dining, marrying classic French technique with innovative presentation. Last year marked a new chapter with the arrival of Anne-Sophie Pic, the world’s most Michelin-starred female chef, whose three-Michelin-starred Maison Pic in Valence is celebrated globally. Now officially rebranded as Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie, the restaurant introduces her culinary philosophy of “suffusion,” emphasizing layered aromas and emotive storytelling in every dish. This is Pic’s first permanent venture in Thailand, taking over from Alain Roux.

The menu, led by Chef Arnaud alongside Chef Philipp Prinzbach, includes newly launched tasting menus. Complemented by wines from Alsace and Savoie, and classic touches such as tableside Crêpe Suzette, Maison Dunand combines refined technique, French warmth, and serene elegance.
