In a glittering award ceremony held in St Petersburg, Russia, Big Fish & Bar was named as the top “Luxury Resort Restaurant” in Asia, and even more impressively, it was selected as the best “Luxury Beachside Restaurant” in the world. These remarkable achievements are a reflection of the gastronomic ingenuity and innovation being demonstrated at Big Fish & Bar.
Organized by the World Luxury Awards Group, the 2019 World Luxury Restaurant Awards showcased more than 270 restaurants in over 90 countries worldwide. The fourth event of its kind, the gala award ceremony was attended by more than 200 people at The State Hermitage Museum Official Hotel.
“We are thrilled to have won these two amazing awards. The hospitality industry is so competitive nowadays, with many exceptional hotels, restaurants and chefs creating outstanding experiences for their guests. So to have been named as Asia’s leading Luxury Resort Restaurant and the world’s best Luxury Beachside Restaurant is a truly astonishing achievement,” said Goetz Bauer, General Manager, Hua Hin Marriott Resort & Spa.

The talented chefs specialize in fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, including sublime seafood and premium meats, which can be enjoyed either indoors or on the elegant alfresco terrace, overlooking Hua Hin Beach and the glistening Gulf of Thailand. Open for lunch and dinner, this is a stunning setting for light lunches, cool cocktails, memorable meals or special occasions.
Hua Hin Marriott Resort & Spa features a total of five restaurants and bars. In addition to Big Fish & Bar, guests can enjoy Thai and international fare throughout the day at Amber Kitchen, freshly-baked snacks and light meals at Siam Bakery, or refreshing drinks and light snacks at the Pool Bar or Lobby Lounge.
