NAVA Restaurant Serving Thai and International Cuisine on Riverside
Bangkok, Thailand, August 1, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / Four dining venues serving Thai and international cuisine in a delightful riverside setting. NAVA at The Salil Hotel Riverside Bangkok is more than a restaurant. In fact, the name refers singly to a collection of four distinct food-and-drink outlets; NAVA Kitchen, NAVA Chef’s Table, NAVA Sala and NAVA Terrace — each offering guests an extraordinary culinary experience for any occasion day or night, indoors or out.
Menus take inspiration from Thailand’s riverine and seafaring heritage, as seen in recipes reflecting the great bounty of produce in and along the Chao Phraya and Mekong rivers as well as from Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea waters.
Indeed waterways and coastlines have long defined the Thai way of life, providing sustenance, transport and recreation in all regions of the country. That’s certainly so at The Salil Hotel Riverside – Bangkok on the banks of the majestic Chao Phraya River. The famed River of Kings is central to Bangkok living and throughout centuries has been the very pulse of the city. In Bangkok the river is life, and a healthy life it is — something fully reflected in Nava chefs’ imaginative use of local ingredients to create delicious and life-enhancing fare.
International cookery further enhances the NAVA dining experience. Venues feature a variety of Asian cuisines such as Japanese and Chinese in addition to a wide range of European culinary traditions. The latter, moreover, bears upon more than dish selection; it also emerges in innovative blends of Thai and Western preparation, presentation and serving methods as applied by talented chefs at each NAVA location.
NAVA Kitchen
