Fuego

Fuego sits on the second floor of The Taste Thonglor on Soi 11, and walking in feels like stepping into a different city entirely. The room is built around a central open kitchen with a curved copper hood that spirals above a horseshoe-shaped counter. The walls are clad in stacked dark wood blocks, the lighting stays low, and you hear the grill before you see it. Roger Sole cooks Spanish food through a Japanese lens, all live flame, and the tasting menu moves through shellfish, aged beef, and charcoal-grilled vegetables with a precision that matches the room. The energy builds as the night goes on.
