Larder flourishes, having become the go-to favourite for chefs, foodies, and others from the hospitality industry in Bangkok. Culinary heroes Radek and Adrian offer premium sandwiches, charcuterie and breads in this industrial vibe space with an open kitchen and friendly service staff. Breakfast sets of hummus with scrambled eggs and olive oil, potato rosti with pumpkin brown butter and a perfectly poached egg, and thick bacon with blood sausage onion and fried egg, dazzle with their simplicity yet all are equally executed with precision and consistency. Larder staples of tuna 3000 on sourdough with hard-boiled eggs and tartar sauce and a double ham and cheese sando appear simple to prepare but showcase on-point preparation and presentation. As it says on the menu, “if we do classic, we do it well!” House-made focaccia and baguette are as good as you will find anywhere served with nduja with mascarpone, anchovy butter, or a more substantial silky-smooth chicken pate. Pretzels, brioches and Japanese shokupan are faultless, respectively accompanied with smoked salmon and cream cheese, cotto, mustard and fried egg carbonara style. Coffees and teas are delivered with the same level of attention and fresh juice combos of celery and apple, cherry tomato and pomegranate and pomelo pineapple and coconut maintain high standards. Larder sodas, using seasonal fruits preserved by the team are exquisite.
