A proud Naples native, Chef Antimo Maria Merone is among the vanguard of chefs rewriting the rules of Italian cuisine. Dedicated to elevating Neapolitan cuisine through modern cooking techniques, one MICHELIN-starred Estro’s refined tasting menus draw inspiration from Antimo’s homeland, with each dish evoking rich memories of his ancestors, history and childhood. Bringing a global perspective to regional cuisine, Estro acknowledges Antimo’s Neapolitan roots while showcasing his innate creativity and progressive style.
The Baan Tepa dining experience is an interactive one. Guests are welcomed into the home with a garden tour to learn more about the ingredients in the culinary journey that they are about to embark on.
The menu draws inspiration from Chef Tam and her team’s culinary trips through the different regions of Thailand. Herself and the team consciously pick dishes and ingredients that are true and unique to each region, and craft their own narrative within each dish, telling the food producers’ stories through their crafts.
The Chefs’ goal is to cultivate long lasting relationships with the farmers, from those who raise free range chickens, chemical free with Thai herbs to varieties of rice grown in the Isaan province by farmers who are looking to revive old crops of rice for the next generation. It’s important to develop and grow together with the producers who help to source and create the food served at Baan Tepa. Together, they achieve a shared mission; creating a more sustainable food future for Thailand, for more years to come.
