Executive Chef Thierry and team celebrate Signature Bangkok’s 1-MICHELIN Star win 

at the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 Awards Ceremony 

<<November 27, 2025>> Bangkok, Thailand—Signature Bangkok is delighted to announce its retention of 1-MICHELIN Star, for the fourth consecutive year. This extraordinary award was announced by MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 during an official ceremony held at Ritz-Carlton Bangkok on 27 November, 2025. MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 recognized Signature Bangkok and Executive Chef Thierry Drapeau for consistently delivering exceptional French and floral gastronomy in a spectacular setting overlooking Bangkok’s stunning skyline. 

Signature Bangkok received its first MICHELIN Star in 2021, within one year of opening. The restaurant has continued to maintain its 1-MICHELIN Star status for each subsequent year. The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 marks the restaurant’s 4th year retaining 1-MICHELIN Star status.

A pioneer of modern French and floral gastronomy, Signature Bangkok follows Chef Thierry’s ‘cuisine of the soil’ approach. Noted for being exceptionally light and expressive, Chef Thierry’s approach makes prodigious use of fresh, edible flowers and herbs to add dimension to flavours. Seasonal menus blend classic and contemporary French techniques and are rooted in the stories of each ingredient. 

1-MICHELIN Star Signature Bangkok is located on the 11th Floor of 5-Star VIE Hotel Bangkok—MGallery Collection.  Dinner service is limited to 20 guests per evening, and advanced reservations are required. Parking is available, and BTS Ratchathewi is located 50m away.

THE ART OF THE STORY

Signature Bangkok’s cuisine is rooted in the art of story telling. “Each ingredient, each dish is an opportunity for discovery, and I hope to share this journey of discovery with our guests,” states Chef Thierry. 

Signature Bangkok’s seasonal menus reflect techniques, flavours, inspirations, and memories that have shaped Chef Thierry’s life journey — from his earliest days as a young Chef in Nantes, France to helming the critically-acclaimed 2-MICHELIN Star Thierry Drapeau Logis de la Saint-Sulpice-le-Verdon, en Pays de La Loire, France, where he held on to 2-MICHELIN stars for nine consecutive years. 

Culture, geography, and family traditions also play an important role, according to Chef Thierry. For example, breads served with each meal are made from a levain starter based on the Chef’s grandmother’s recipe, which can be traced back several generations within the family. 

Chef Thierry began his first serious chef position in the coastal town of Guilvinec, and here he quickly became friends with a local fisherman named Laurent Daniel. To this day, whenever Chef Thierry features langoustine or any Atlantic fish on the menu, he sources it from Laurent Daniel. 

A ‘city-inspired’ series pays tribute to Chef Theirry’s favorite French cities, with ingredients that reflect each city’s character, story, and essence. For instance, the extraordinary duck course Canard de Callance can be called “truly Vendéen”, as each ingredient is from Vendée, Chef Thierry’s home. The presentation features duck from Maison Bourgeois in Challans and follows the Chef’s grandmother’s traditional French recipe. It is slowly simmered with butter until smooth, aromatic, and deeply flavorful. The Canard de Callance is paired with morjette beans—a legume grown exclusively in Vendée.

Finally, Chef Thierry’s special dessert — Riz au Lait—is a nostalgic dessert inspired by childhood memories. Chef Thierry’s version of his mother’s classic French rice pudding evokes warm memories and comfort, albeit with creative, contemporary flourishes that elevate the dessert to new heights.

WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER 

The story of Signature Bangkok’s French and floral cuisine continues to evolve. Working alongside Chef Thierry is a dynamic culinary team, each contributing their expertise and experiences. Thailand, with its veritable ingredients and rich culture, also takes part. For example, a trip north to Chiang Mai led to the discovery of a locally-grown cherry tomato. This humble tomato from Thailand “rose of the north” is now a star starter course.
