Dutch top chef Henk Savelberg will soon open his new restaurant in Bangkok (video)
Posted in Food and drink, Restaurants, Going out
Tags: Bangkok, Henk Savelberg, Restaurant, Video
Top chef Henk Savelberg, who many know from his previous establishment Restaurant-Hotel Savelberg in Voorburg, has embarked on a new adventure in Bangkok.
A former colleague who also lives in the Thai capital convinced the top chef some time ago: “He convinced me to start a restaurant there. In Bangkok we cook exactly the same as before in the Netherlands.”
Savelberg (www.savebergth.com) will officially open its new restaurant in Bangkok on Wireless Road in February 2015, but you can already get a first impression in this video.

Restaurant is already open!
Have eaten there recently. Top quality space, not too big, easy to oversee. 5-6 Dutch employees further operation Thai very correct. Wide choice of 3-7 course menu. top quality wines. Well at the price. Nice for a party.
Ideal location next to the Dutch and American embassy in BKK, highly recommended!
Savelberg has been open for about three weeks. Reviews have already appeared in various newspapers and magazines.
Of course, Savelberg is a super top chef. He was held up in the Netherlands by all the stress that the profession entails for us. He can now let go of all those rules and legislation. Yet it is very ambitious to set up such a top business in Bangkok. His guests will therefore not consist of the average expat, but of the more upscale people. Hope it is profitable.
congratulations. When is Pattaya's turn?
Looks good but the prices are Dutch 5000 thb exl 17% for a menu is not very cheap.

Dear Bob,
I think it's normal that the prices are Dutch. What do you want, an exclusive meal, by a top chef at Thai prices of 250 Baht? Be a bit realistic and don't think that you should be able to get everything at Thai prices in Thailand. You want a certain standard, then you also pay for it. In the Netherlands you will pay more than 125 euros for a similar meal, service, quality…. And after all, what is the difference between the fact that you are offered this meal in the Netherlands or in Thailand? Learn to get rid of that "cheap harry" image that you always have in mind when you are in Thailand. Either you live here like a Thai and then you are very cheap, or you live as a farang and then you pay without a murmur.
Lung addie
The food is great!
Absolute value for money

We wish Henk and his team every success.
Know Henk van Voorburg.

Yeah I've been waiting for that.... Dutch food in Thailand. Awesome. And that for prices, for which many Thais have to work for half a month. Civilization is advancing. Fleeing is no longer possible, I wouldn't know where to….
In another story I have already said that I like to eat every now and then in a better (and therefore more expensive) restaurant. However, I have nothing against the so-called "top chefs". There are hundreds of them in the Netherlands, although they are often less well known than Savelberg.
So Savelberg was in Voorburg, I understand. I lived in Alkmaar and you don't go from there to Voorburg to eat at a top chef and then be able to say, I was at Savelberg. The same applies now, I'm not going to Bangkok from Pattaya to pay a visit to Savelberg.
Michelin Star? Oh, it would. I sometimes jokingly say in a random restaurant that it does not deserve a Michelin star. My Dutch dinner companions and now also foreigners here in Thailand look at me with surprised eyes: what is he talking about, Michelin star? Never heard of it.
Savelberg has therefore closed the door in Voorburg. Someone says in a response because of the stress and the strict Dutch laws and regulations. Is that the real reason? Thailand also has laws and rules, but we all know that they are applied flexibly. Otherwise, how on earth is it possible that six to eight Dutch people work in that restaurant?
His menu shows 4 fish dishes and 4 meat dishes as a main course and I think that is rather limited, the prices are not too bad,
If you are such a celebrated top chef and “world famous” in the Netherlands, I don't understand why the next step is a restaurant in Thailand. Was London, Paris, New York, to name but a few, no longer obvious?
Of course I wish every Dutch person who starts a business in Thailand every possible success. I also hope that Savelberg has made a good choice, but I have my doubts whether it will work.
The fact that Savelberg is not hindered by Dutch rules is because in the past people have become ill after a visit to a restaurant due to poor hygienic conditions. These rules were not created by chefs like Savelberg, but by people who called themselves chefs.
I don't have to tell anyone about the hygiene in Thailand in many places.
In Mr. Savelberg's restaurant, everything will certainly be fine. I know his cooking and will be happy to book with him on my next visit to Bangkok. Quality comes with a price tag. If you want cheap and good food, you go to the market or stalls on the street. There you also eat very tasty and cheap. It's just what you want! In his Thai.
Savelberg also does not ask if you come from Pattaya to Bangkok to eat with him. I do, because I care about it.
I wonder if it is really so special in Bangkok. Savelberg cooks French cuisine (and there is nothing Dutch about it) and many restaurants in Bangkok have already preceded him, also at the prices that Savelberg asks.
Conclusion: apparently a new and good restaurant in Bangkok with a French kitchen and the only special thing is that a Dutchman runs it.

An amazing experience. Nice atmosphere good people and yes not cheap but there is a lot in return.
Compliments Hank! And good luck in the New Year.
