SIGNATURE DISHES

Lamb beignets with tomato basil Seafood bisque Larb duck salad Grilled duck breast Andaman sea bass with mango salsa sauce

SETTING: The restaurant comprises three shophouses joined together, boasting an inner Spanish colonial-style patio with a fountain and grill and an open-plan kitchen to the side.

FOOD: Formally of Cherng Talay's The Red Room and hailing from Nakhon Panom, chef Zico Srijan's fare is suitably eclectic for such a spanking new venture as Siam Indigo. He has had international experience and is well guided and inspired by manageress Celine Masson. For starters, goong sarong, prawns wrapped in noodles, is done to a turn. Lamb beignets with tomato basil sauce is simply superb and a beautiful early surprise, yielding and packed with flavour. Piquant seafood bisque with cream is perhaps less impressive but certainly worth trying. Grilled Andaman sea bass fillet with mango salsa sauce is simply the last word in fresh, eclectic dishes, while grilled duck breast is admirably presented.

WINE: A competent and far-reaching collection of labels.

SERVICE: Professional, courteous and well-trained staff.

PRICE: A meal for two will cost about 2,000 baht, minus wine.
