Located in a magnificent Lanna-style house, at the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Resort. Farang Ses is renowned for its fine French cuisine and resplendent decor. The menu features traditional French countryside fare.
The dining room is filled with carved wood, enormous pillars and original art. The room is rich in dark wood, while soft butternut yellow calfskin covers the formal, contemporary chairs. Tables are laid with heavy linen in pale neutral colors, and crystal candelabras are filled with glowing candles. We began our meal with an ‘amuse bouche’, a delightful creative bite of beetroot terrine accompanied by a cup of hot beetroot juice. Then followed an appetizer of pan-seared foie gras, served with tiny salad leaves and topped with a black peppered sweet cherry sauce. Appetizers include marinated rainbow trout with crispy fennel chips at 580 baht and range up to carpaccio of Brittany lobster with green peas and green pea sherbet at 1,950 baht. |

Soup was next, a lobster bisque flavored with white port wine and star anis.
Presented superbly, the bisque is priced at 620 baht. Fish offers roasted salmon
with wild mushrooms and aged Balsamic vinegar at 880 baht while pan-fried turbot
with white bean pure is 1,650 baht. Navarin of lamb has pan-sauted red and
yellow peppers in an olive sauce with the lamb served in a classic French
canning jar. The lamb was tender and delicious, and the French olives were
exceptional. Meat dishes at Farang Ses vary from braised oxtail with truffles,
roasted pigeon breast with bitter chocolate sauce to noisette of roebuck with
walnut gnocchi. Prices begin at 1,150 baht to 1,950 baht. Desserts are creative
with ice creams and sherbets blended with liqueurs and fruit. For a
3-course dinner for two, expect to pay as much as 8,000 to 10,000 baht.
