Florae Restaurant at Valia Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 24 proudly introduces its reimagined culinary identity: Modern Mediterranean Cuisine — a seamless blend of timeless flavours and contemporary culinary artistry.

A Signature Culinary Approach

Central to Florae’s evolution is the Mibrasa wood fire grill — one of the few in Thailand — which imparts a distinctive smoky depth to every dish. This innovative technique, combined with premium local and imported ingredients, ensures each plate delivers both authenticity and originality.

Omar Khatib, Executive Chef & F&B Director, shares:
“Modern Mediterranean cuisine isn’t just a style of cooking — it’s a cultural expression. Our goal is to honor the roots of Mediterranean flavors while presenting them with a modern sensibility that excites today’s diners.”

Florae’s new menu celebrates the Mediterranean’s rich diversity, brought to life with modern flair. Guests can expect inspired dishes such as:

  • Wagyu Beef Tartare — Australian Wagyu, elevated with caviar and black truffle

  • Heritage Beetroot & Burrata — paired with pickled walnuts and beefsteak tomato

  • Grilled Spanish Octopus — balanced with chimichurri and new potato

  • Tasmanian Rack of Lamb — perfected over the Mibrasa wood fire

To complement the menu, Florae also presents a fine selection of premium wines, carefully curated to elevate the dining experience.

These highlights represent the essence of Florae’s culinary philosophy: bold flavours, refined execution, and a journey that lingers on the palate.
