About etcha

Skip predictable hotel dining—the draw in Ratchathewi sits seven floors up at the Chatrium Grand. Etcha matches Italian technique with Thai terroir across tasting menus of 11 to 13 rounds. Bangkok diners point to Chef Giacomo Primante’s appetite for off-beat combinations: Thai rock lobster wrapped in dehydrated jellyfish, charcoal stingray with roasted black leek, or sweetbread balanced with tamarind. Diners spread butter from the kitchen's cow, Mesa, onto warm brioche served on local ceramics. Midway through, the team leads guests into the coolers and pantry to inspect ingredients firsthand, followed by wine pairings from an award-winning sommelier.

  • Borderless Italian-Thai Tasting Menus: Chef Giacomo turns out 11 to 13 courses marrying Italian foundations with daring Thai produce, from dehydrated jellyfish lobster rolls to charcoal stingray.
  • Hyper-Local Craft & Provenance: Warm brioche arrives with house-churned butter sourced from the restaurant's own cow, Mesa, alongside bespoke handcrafted Thai tableware.
  • Working Kitchen & Pantry Tours: Mid-service invites bring diners past the pass and into the walk-in coolers to talk sourcing and prep directly with the team.
  • Sommelier-Led Wine Pairings: Curated pours navigate high-acid Thai aromatics and rich Italian reductions without missing a step.

  • Subverting Traditional Fine-Dining Tropes

    Rather than adhering to safe luxury tropes, dishes reframe regional Thai produce into European fine-dining architecture with precision and wit.

    Etcha is not for someone who just wants a safe “nice dinner.”

    They took us towards the end to see the kitchen and I was amazed at how clean and tidy it was kept while all the commotion still goes on.
