Chef Gaggan Anand changes course

In Bangkok, chef Gaggan Ananda leading figure in contemporary gastronomy, is turning a new corner. After turning his Gaggan restaurant into one of the most influential in the world, repeatedly named Asia’s best restaurant by 50Best, the Indian chef has announced a profound transformation of his project. On his social networks, he has announced a total overhaul of the dining experience: less staging for the networks, more attention paid to the moment, to emotions and to the link between the guest and the kitchen by banning the use of phones to photograph the dishes. The idea is no longer simply to surprise with technique or creativity, but to offer an all-encompassing, almost artistic moment, where the food dialogues with the ambience, music and rhythm of the service. This change of direction may also involve a temporary closure of its current address in order to rethink the space and format. With this new step, Gaggan Anand affirms its determination to continue to shake up the codes of haute cuisine, while returning to the essentials: providing a sincere, intense and memorable experience. In Bangkok, the Gaggan revolution is not over, but simply entering a new phase.
