Dine in 12 countries without leaving Bangkok

Here are a dozen places in Bangkok with uncommon international fare from Catalonian and Georgian to Russian and Egyptian.

Embassy Room – Catalan Cuisine (Catalonian)

Catalonia is an autonomous community of Spain that draws big influence from the West Mediterranean, so expect fresh ingredients with no-frills preparation and presentation. One of the big highlights of the five-course dinner menu is the pop a la catalana, an octopus dish served with sofrito sauce and finished with picada (a pillar sauce of Catalonian food).

Considering its location, the prices are friendlier than you might think. You can get a glimpse of what Catalan cuisine is all about through the three-course lunch set menu for THB1,400. The restaurant will be open to the public Oct. 1, but you can start booking now.
