NOTE -- I have no interest in visiting Michelin starred restaurants but this place is so offbeat that it proved worth the time.

From CBS

Anglo Thai is London's only Michelin-starred Thai restaurant. Chef John Chantarasak has drawn on his family history to create an award-winning culintary experience and put a unique spin on Thai food.

Thai fusion!  Anglo-Thai chef seems like an interesting guy & the food looks amazing.  Prix-fixe dinner 125 GBP or approx 5500 THB in central London.

Plus drinks and service, but still reasonable.  

With the demise of Hakkasan last year loosing their Michelin stars at both the Mayfair and the original Hanway Place restaurants, which was then closed within months after the 2024 announcements, London lost 2 of it's best Chinese / Asian fusion eateries. The Mayfair resturant still exists, but current reviews are showing the resturant is slipping.

Will be over next year, so will make a point of visiting AngloThai. Did notice the options for Thai wines / spirits are limited, also a bit of a surprise was the omission of Cornish wines, given John Chantarasak's Cornish upbringing after his family left Thailand. Still, the menus and wine lists look interesting.

Cheers @reader for the article.

blessed are those who consider  such price for a dinner reasonable

I usually enjoy fusion cuisine but have never been to any Thai restaurant in London. Too many to enjoy in Bangkok! But I am no fan of one particular Michelin-starred restaurant in Bangkok - Nahm in the Metropolitan Hotel on Sathorn. I went with two colleagues a few months or so after it opened with great fanfare. The dishes are all classic Thai - and perhaps surprisingly we enjoyed none! First the tables were both too high and too wide, and the chairs too low. So trying to make conversation was just that - a trial and uncomfortable to boot! Throughout the evening not one of the mostly middle-aged waiters smiled. Not once! We were given the option of the level of spice in the dishes we ordered and, rather un-Thai-like, we selected moderate. All but one were so spicy we could hardly touch them.

We chatted with the English maitre d' who agreed with our coments about the tables and chairs. He said the wrong sizes had been delivered and new ones were "on the way"! He also apologised for the cuisine being over spiced. He had nothing to say about his wait staff not smiling. This restaurant gets consistently high marks from those who know their classic Thai cuisine. We've never returned.

nothing beats comfort of tables and chairs in another Bangkok's  Michelin-starred restaurant, world acclaimed Foodland Patpong

You need to consider the context. This is a Michelin starred restaurant  in Central London. All their overheads are hugely  more than seven star restaurant  in Patpong! In Paris you can easily pay Euros400 per head. I hasten to say I have not eaten there!

I get it. 

reason for my comment was recollection of dinner with certain boy I offed and treated with dinner at Happy Beer Garden opposite Raya . Neither dinner was nor restaurant is particularly flashy. Upon paying the bill boy commented " for that money I could have dinner for whole week in my local market at Din Daeng"
