\"Banyan<\/a>Koh Samui, Thailand, December 4, 2024 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Saffron, a fine-dining restaurant<\/a> overlooking the luxury resort of Banyan Tree Samui, has been recognized by the prestigious Michelin Guide in its restaurant recommendations for 2025.<\/p>\n

The French-based Michelin Guide, famed for its accreditation of \u201cstars\u201d to the most exquisite restaurants in the world, last week announced its Michelin Guide Thailand 2025<\/a> in which Saffron is listed among only a handful of dining venues on the tropical island.<\/p>\n

Opened in 2010, Saffron hosts set evening dinners in a sophisticated and tranquil ambience, and offers a culinary journey of Thailand\u2019s most innovative cuisine<\/a>. An elegant dining establishment perched on a hillside and commanding spectacular vistas across the Gulf of Thailand, its chefs are renowned for creating combinations of flavours through a delicate blending of Thai herbs and spices.<\/p>\n

This award-winning restaurant serves specialties such as: Khong Wang Ruam<\/em>, an appetizer for two featuring freshly prepared crisp rice noodle-wrapped prawn; grilled tender chicken breast satay; fried floppy seabass rice noodle rolls; and pomelo salad with tamarind sauce; as well as Pu Nim Thod Yum Lychee Nham Sawaros<\/em>, a palate-tingling dish of crispy soft-shell crab, lychee salad, mint, lemongrass, and spicy passion fruit dressing.<\/p>\n

One of Saffron\u2019s most recent features is a Chef\u2019s Table evening when guests can be treated to a gueridon-style table service by one of the kitchen\u2019s chefs who specialise in Thai and Southern Thai cuisines. The chef guides the diners through the preparation of Thai cuisine in an educational and entertaining setting, and outlines local techniques and recipes including the famed Tom Yum Koong<\/em>, a traditional spicy prawn soup with condensed milk, lemongrass, mushroom and coriander.<\/p>\n

The Chef\u2019s Table dinners are complemented by Thailand\u2019s own Monsoon Valley wines, which have surprised many a connoisseur in recent years with their full-bodied flavours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Michelin Guide rating shows great recognition<\/a> of our Saffron culinary team and their daily dedication to and love of producing excellent food,\u201d said Director of Food & Beverage and Cuisine Rainer Roersch. \u201cWe have already seen an increase in outside customers<\/a> who have become aware of Saffron through the Michelin Guide. Our aim is to satisfy each and every guest with outstanding food and exemplary service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saffron\u2019s host hotel, the 5-star Banyan Tree Samui,<\/a> was among the recipients when Michelin recently announced an inaugural ranking system of \u201ckeys\u201d to acclaim the most outstanding hotels in the world. The 2024 Michelin Guide hotel selection in Thailand<\/a> included a total of eight Three-Key hotels (its highest decoration), 19 Two-Key hotels, and 31 One Key hotels. Each hotel had been anonymously visited and assessed by Michelin inspectors. Banyan Tree Samui was recognised with two \u201ckeys\u201d.<\/p>\n

In addition to recognition in the prestigious Michelin, Saffron has received a Best Restaurant Award four times<\/a> by Tatler Magazine.<\/p>\n

The 88-key Banyan Tree Samui is a luxury all-pool villa resort, with a pristine beach, blissful spa escapes, exquisite dining offerings, a personal concierge, and unparalleled views of the Gulf of Thailand. The 38-acre property is rich in flora and plant life, and its private beach is flanked by coral reefs.<\/p>\n

The resort hosts three restaurants, a spa with Banyan Tree\u2019s signature Rainforest hydrotherapy facility, a fitness centre, a kids\u2019 club, a meetings and events centre, and a library.<\/p>\n
