The world-renowned chef Martin Blunos, whose was awarded two Michelin stars for more than fifteen years, together with chef Aleksandrs Nasikailov, Executive Chef, unveils their mysterious and fascinating Latvian heritage as Martin Blunos opens the first fine dining Baltic restaurant and bar in Bangkok, located at Thonglor Soi 9, this coming August 2019.
“Although, I was born in the United Kingdom, my parents were from Latvia and I feel that it is a part of who I am. I am very excited to bring the food that I grew up with to your dining table,” explained Martin Blunos, Chef Patron of Baltic Blunos.
“When thinking of Baltic, it represents the four elements of nature which are air, water, earth and fire; and these are the elements you can see throughout the restaurant and bar. Baltic cuisine is very earthy, rough and fresh; the ingredients must be fresh and cooked at its best. I feel very passionate in introducing my origin’s cuisine to Thailand and I think it will be very fascinating
