The essence of Thai Cuisine

The essence of Thai Cuisine
A legacy of flavour
It takes 75,000 saffron flowers to yield one pound of spice. Since 1995, that same care and precision has shaped every plate we serve, in every Saffron around the world.
Every dish at Saffron is an invitation into Thailand, its flavours, its rituals, its generosity, wherever in the world you happen to be sitting.

It began in 1995, on a hillside at Banyan Tree Phuket, with a belief that Thai cuisine deserved the same care as the finest kitchens in the world.
What started as a single restaurant became something we carry with us. As the group grew, Saffron travelled too, from island shores to desert valleys, each one shaped by its new home yet unmistakably itself.
It is now a part of who we are, a way of sharing Thailand with the world, plate by plate, wherever we go.

Shared plates, familiar aromas, and the kind of meal that brings people closer. Some dishes you feel before you taste.
Thai cuisine as you know it, then a little further. Saffron finds the unexpected in every familiar dish.
Thai at heart, local in every ingredient. Visit a Saffron anywhere in the world and find something new waiting.
In Bangkok, Saffron takes to the river. Step aboard for handcrafted cocktails on the Moon Deck, then a Thai dining journey as the illuminated city drifts past your table. It is Saffron as you know it, carried onto the Chao Phraya, and one of the most memorable ways to spend an evening in the capital.
