The St. Regis Bangkok

IGNIV BANGKOK WELCOMES THE LAST HARVEST OF THE YEAR

WITH NEW AUTUMN MENU CREATED BY

NEWLY APPOINTED HEAD CHEF ARNE RIEHN

Earthy European flavors paired with Arne’s culinary memories of his first visit to Asia

Bangkok, Thailand – August 20, 2024 – One-MICHELIN starred IGNIV Bangkok restaurant, located at 1^st floor of The St. Regis Bangkok, celebrates the arrival of autumn to pay homage to the harvest season with a new menu, featuring 18 handcrafted dishes in a sharing experience that beautifully combines European and Thai flavors from September to November 2024.

Designed to evoke the earthy flavors of European autumn’s rhythm as the weather cools, the IGNIV Autumn Menu showcases hearty root vegetables including truffle, white fungus, and Brussels sprouts, along with locally sourced produce from communities in Chiang Rai and Tak provinces of Thailand such as mountain kombu, coffee blossom, and heart of palm.

“My inspiration of the Autumn Menu comes from my first experience when I came to Asia in November 2018. I remember the taste of local ingredients and vibrant flavors which are completely different from the flavors I recognized in Europe. I drew the inspiration from my culinary exploration and blend them with the flavor of European earthiness that celebrates the seasonal transitions. The moment of this discovery is always special for me, and I’d like to share it to our guests through my first seasonal menu as Head Chef of IGNIV Bangkok,” Chef Arne Riehn.

To reflect the seasonal shifts and the culinary heritage from both Europe and Asia, Chef Arne and his team has crafted a menu that embodies indulgent, rich sauces, the tangy zest of sour pickling juices, the comforting softness of moist brioche, traditionally fermented sauerkraut, velvety beurre blanc, and the warming embrace of rum and raisin.

Each Autumn Menu dish includes a classic element blending tradition and modernity in both presentation and preparation style. Some highlights include Truffle-Duexelle-Kataifi for snack, Foie Gras-Salee-Truffle for starter, Deer—Black Garlic—Brussel Sprouts, Gyoza—Sauerkraut—Chili, and Rainbow trout—Butternut—Mountain Kombu for main dishes and lastly Coffee Blossom-Rum & Raisin-Coconut for the dessert. 

The finale is signaled by an introduction to the IGNIV Candy Store; an invitation to revisit one’s childhood with a visual extravaganza of caneles, madeleines, financiers, caramels, toffees, chocolate dipped nuts, panforte and nougat to be brought home as a delicious memory of their visit.

IGNIV Bangkok’s DNA centres around a cosmopolitan fine-dining sharing experience rooted in combining Swiss hospitality with the highest quality products, innovative recipes and warm service in a stylish environment. From the design and service to the food and wine, the spirit of IGNIV Bangkok exudes an aura of warmth, conviviality and joy, injecting a sense of modernity and playfulness that informs an unconventional approach to fine dining.   

IGNIV Bangkok is located at 159 Rajadamri Road Bangkok, Thailand 10330. The Autumn Menu at IGNIV Bangkok is available daily for dinner from 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM, last order at 8:30 PM for THB 5,500++ per person from September 2 to November 30, 2024.

IGNIV by ANDREAS CAMINADA

Chef Caminada’s name is synonymous with haute cuisine, vision, and innovation. Schloss Schauenstein, with 3 Michelin stars, will celebrate its 20-year anniversary in December 2023. The Graubünden native’s ideas are usually well ahead of their time but also reflect the present, and his «IGNIV» restaurants are no exception. Caminada invites guests to embark upon a culinary experience: the sharing of time and fine food. A concept that truly appeals to a modern, cosmopolitan guest and creates a place in which culinary indulgence is celebrated. Rhaeto-Romanic for «nest», his currently three IGNIV restaurants are places for the senses where sharing culinary art, indulgence and time take center stage – a refreshing and young concept with outstanding cuisine focusing on the product. IGNIV celebrates also an attitude to life: experiencing a lasting gourmet adventure with friends and acquaintances, jointly putting together a meal which will ultimately be served in pans and platters as sharing dishes. The omnipresent love for detail leads to a modern but cozy atmosphere. In Switzerland, the renowned Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola was responsible the interior design of all four IGNIV restaurants and created the unique, hedonistic ambiance within their partner hotels.

In addition to the exquisite interior design, the IGNIV logo, designed by graphic designer Remo Caminada, also adds a touch of understated refinement. He used the simplest of design elements to create the logo: an oval and straight lines. At first glance it appears to be merely a muddle of lines and only becomes clear when one looks closely: It symbolizes an egg in a bird’s nest. The gastronomic concept not only pleases its guests: Guide Michelin currently awards two IGNIV restaurants in Switzerland – at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, at Marktgasse Hotel Zürich, both with 2 Michelin stars and opening 4th quarter 2024 IGNIV Andermatt.
