Situated on the 37 floor of Pullman Bangkok Hotel G in Silom area, this Bar & Restaurant is decorated in a bistro style: cozy yet elegant.

Great Gastro received an opportunity to visit Scarlett again. This time, we also had a chance to have a talk to Gérard Poulard, which is a great opportunity for me to learn more about how to select the best type of cheese to match my favorite glass of wine. Not only serves as an ingredient, cheese is suitable as a company of wine as well.

What Master Gérard brings us, this time, is totally amazing. His 10 unique kinds of cheese from a brilliant collection is an eye-opening for those who are not familiar with the cheese industry and a wonderful experience for cheese lovers. Each choice of cheese is varieties in taste, touch, and smell, in which it could be paired with different kinds of food and wine to enhance the flavour. Overall speaking, what Master Gérard prepared was very inspirative, for it opens a room of opportunities to explore more about the world of cheese together with a world of wine.
