For the first time, Bangkok epicures can experience the thrilling cuisine of world-acclaimed chef Andoni Luis Aduriz of the two Michelin-starred restaurant Mugaritz in the Basque region of Spain.
A native of San Sebastián, Aduriz is considered by many as an heir to the title of Spain's most pioneering chef, Ferran Adria. He has worked under the legendary Adria at El Bulli in Catalonia in the early 90s before opening Mugaritz in 1998.
Mugaritz earned its first Michelin star in 2000 and a second one in 2005. For its revolutionary "techno-emotional Spanish cuisine", the restaurant is No.9 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. The Spanish culinary wizard has also received S. Pellegrino "Chef's Choice Award", bestowed upon him by fellow chefs in 2006 and 2012.

His avant-garde approach to cuisine takes cues on advanced food technologies. It is not just to produce a novel dining pleasure but also to evoke an emotional effect for guests to ensure a great gastronomical experience. At his scientist-attached cooking lab and restaurant in a misty, mountainous, eucalyptus-lined border of Errenteria and Astigarraga towns, a meal showcasing Basque cuisine with a playful innovative touch takes place over 20 courses.
Dishes come with as whimsical and original a name and presentation such as "An Oyster's Frozen Kiss", "Dried Hydrangea of Cocoa", and "Soldier Striped Shrimp from the Alboran Sea", while a lamb loin is served with "its cultivated wool".
