COBA: a gastronomic star is born in Bangkok…
Ellipsis Hospitality is thrilled to introduce COBA, an avant-garde dining and drinking concept poised to revolutionize Bangkok's culinary scene. Nestled in the bustling heart of the city, COBA welcomed its first guests on November 7, 2024. This innovative establishment promises a dynamic, multi-sensory dining adventure that transcends conventional boundaries, where cuisine, atmosphere, and experience converge harmoniously.
Renowned Michelin-starred chef and visionary culinary curator Olivier Limousin brings his ground-breaking expertise to COBA, curating an unprecedented dining journey that marries immersive culinary artistry with an equally immersive dining experience. At the helm of the kitchen is Executive Chef Sebastien Lalanne, whose vast experience in esteemed Michelin-starred establishments around the globe shapes the sophisticated elegance of COBA’s gastronomic narrative.
The menu at COBA presents an exquisite fusion of Latin American flavours, masterfully refined through French techniques to deliver a tapas-style tasting adventure unparalleled in Bangkok. Highlights include the signature Tapas Tower, featuring a refined assortment of seafood delights such as tuna tataki, confit scallops with umeboshi, and wagyu tartare. Unexpected yet delightful flavor pairings like humita gyoza with Joselito Iberico ham underscore COBA's commitment to celebrating local ingredients in inventive and mouth-watering ways. This multi-layered menu is designed to push culinary boundaries, ensuring each dish offers a sensory feast.
Further elevating the dining experience, COBA’s main courses continue the theme of blending global influences with local flair. Standout dishes include saffron and lobster ravioli, miso-glazed black cod, and grilled beef tenderloin accompanied by spicy Mexican mole and mini tacos. These selections epitomize COBA's dedication to culinary innovation and craftsmanship.
Reflecting on COBA’s upcoming debut, Managing Director Albert van der Westhuizen remarked, “With COBA, our goal is to introduce an entirely novel dining and entertainment concept that emphasizes warm hospitality and meticulous attention to detail. This is a reimagined fine dining experience — vibrant and pulsating with life, much like the city of Bangkok itself. We've thoughtfully curated every aspect of our concept, from the menu and design to the cocktail offerings, to embody the essence of Ellipsis Hospitality. Our vision is for COBA to become a cherished destination for our guests, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming everyone in November.”
COBA’s rainforest-inspired interior, replete with rich textures and striking contrasts, creates a visually stunning setting that exudes an air of exclusivity while embodying the renowned warmth and hospitality of Thailand. COBA is destined to become a lively social hub, featuring a daily array of curated, immersive performances that craft a multisensory experience, seamlessly blending dining and entertainment in one uniquely designed venue.
