The World’s Highest Nobu Restaurant
The jewel in EA’s crown is undoubtedly Nobu Bangkok, the world’s highest Nobu restaurant, created by the culinary master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Set over three floors, Nobu Bangkok offers a sublime fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, a concept that has earned Nobu restaurants a reputation worldwide. Each dish, meticulously crafted by Nobu himself, celebrates fresh ingredients, masterful technique, and cultural fusion.

Designed by the globally acclaimed Rockwell Group, the restaurant blends elements of Thai and Japanese aesthetics to create a harmonious and luxurious atmosphere where every meal becomes an artistic journey.
EA Chef’s Table: The Pinnacle of Fine Dining
Taking the dining experience to even greater heights, the EA Chef’s Table brings together three globally renowned Michelin-starred chefs to offer guests a culinary journey. Located on the 56th floor of The Empire, this exclusive experience features three restaurants, each with its distinct cuisine and culinary philosophy.

At the forefront is Le Du Kaan, the world’s first rooftop Thai restaurant by Michelin-starred Chef Ton.

The breathtaking view from Le Du Kaan makes it the perfect venue to enjoy his signature dishes, such as the “Hot Pot Stirred Fried Beef Basil,” while witnessing the spectacular sunset over the city.
Next is K by Vicky Cheng, a sophisticated fusion of contemporary French and Chinese cuisine. Chef Vicky Cheng, who hails from Hong Kong, introduces a new level of refinement to Bangkok’s dining scene. Inspired by the ancient Chinese calendar, his seasonal dishes pay homage to Chinese heritage, blending classic flavours with modern culinary techniques.
Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo completes the trio, where multi-Michelin-starred Chef Paulo Airaudo redefines traditional Italian cuisine. Sourcing the finest local ingredients from Thailand, Sartoria offers a contemporary twist on classic Italian dishes, all served in an elegant space that reflects the warmth and charm of Tuscany.
Chef Airaudo, reflecting on opening his first restaurant in Southeast Asia, stated, “Bangkok is the perfect place to push boundaries and redefine European cuisine. EA offers us a platform to showcase our creativity and bring something truly unique to Thailand’s culinary landscape.”
EA Gallery: A Lifestyle Experience Like No Other
