This accolade celebrates etcha’s philosophy of connecting Chef Giacomo’s Italian roots with Thailand’s vibrant culinary traditions, both grounded in simplicity, seasonality, and deep respect for local ingredients. By revisiting the foundations of each cuisine, Chef Giacomo discovers their natural harmony through fresh herbs, aromatic broths, handmade elements, and balanced flavours. Each dish becomes a dialogue between cultures, reinterpreting tradition in a contemporary way.
Among the season’s highlights is the Thai Rock Lobster with Jellyfish, Lemon Confit, and Kaffir Lime, etcha’s playful nod to Italy’s Fritto di Mare. The result is a dish that feels both comforting and refreshingly original, a true celebration of craftsmanship, contrast, and connection.
Sourcing with intention lies at the heart of etcha. Every ingredient tells a story from northern highlands to southern shores, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to ethical farming, sustainability, and creative integrity.
For Chef Giacomo and his team, food is more than flavour. It is about taste, curiosity, and sharing an ongoing exchange of stories, techniques, and inspiration that connects everyone behind each plate.
Located on the 7th floor of Chatrium Grand Bangkok, etcha continues to define dining as living art, where every flavour tells a story and every moment feels personal
