28. September 2024@erikskitchen, Asia, Asia, Hotels, Interviews, Meet the Chef, Recipes, Restaurants, Thailand, Thailand#foodadvisorblog, Bangkok, Chef, Chefkoch, Hotel, Restaurant, ThailandErik Seidel

Nicolas Basset – Chef Nico – is one of the most innovative chefs I have ever met. Before he started the BELGA project at Sofitel Sukhumvit, he was already sous chef at the MGallery Sofitel VIE Hotel.

The cuisine of the VIE Hotel enjoys an excellent reputation for a reason – for many years now, chefs of rank, name and stars have been coming here to set new highlights and pass on their knowledge.

Since the beginning of 2020, Nico has not only been head chef at BELGA but has also risen to the management level of the Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit with the position of executive chef – congratulations.

In recent years, Polish heifers on German plates have become a real insider tip – often the ideal conditions for breeding and keeping them are unjustly misjudged regarding our direct neighbour. The exclusive supplier R&S therefore showed the right instinct when they started out with heifer meat from Gut Bressau. Continue reading Gut Bressau →
