L'Arôme by the sea
Located at Kalim Bay, L’ARÔME BY THE SEA features an elegant minimalist design throughout its two distinct areas: the restaurant level that highlights the art and delicacy of contemporary french cuisine with Swiss Alps influence and a rooftop bar to host casual sunset cocktails, also perfect for aperitif or digestif. Elegant and tranquil, the intimate dining room is inspired by its coastal setting. A light blue palette fuses with dark blue velvet furnishings to create a soothing backdrop, allowing gastronomical encounters to take center stage. The L’ARÔME BY THE SEA experience is enhanced with dining on the seafront seats, complemented by discreet personalized service, provided by the dynamique and passionate team.
In July 2022, L'ARÔME BY THE SEA has been featured in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand.
Head Chef Yannick Hollenstein
Our Head Chef Yannick Hollenstein was part of the Swiss Culinary National Team that won the Expogast Culinary World Cup in 2014. He was Sous Chef of Restaurant Mammertsberg * in Switzerland when it has been awarded with one star in 2015. The multi-award-winning talent has already gained valuable experience in many Michelin starred restaurants around the world including 3-star Andreas Caminada *** in Switzerland and 2-star Mathias Dahlgren ** in Sweden.
"As native of Swiss Alps, I put my culture heritage into my creations. Alpine cuisine has always meant making the best of what is available in the region. At L’ARÔME BY THE SEA, I include exquisite delicacies from abroad such as black truffle, Oscietra caviar or japanese Busy Wagyu, but also work on exploration of regional produce as Phuket lobster, wild-caught Krabi blue crab, hand picked local clams or various indigenous plants. Surrounded by this tropical island scenery, I find inspiration in the rhythm of the waves crushing the shore. I am very excited for all that is coming. Each day brings my team and me closer to find our groove and truly create something unique and memorable."
- Yannick
Contemporary French Cuisine
Chef Yannick carefully balances avant-garde french culinary techniques and his Swiss Alpine heritage to create new textures, flavours, colours and aromas.
Clever combination of tradition and innovation is reflected throughout L’ARÔME BY THE SEA’s menu: Chef Yannick confidently celebrates his Swiss Alps identity with his smoked cheese fondue ravioli and presents his interpretation of contemporary french with duck foie gras au torchon and pan seared with rhubarb, fresh elderflower and tamarind, honey cured, beeswax aged and rosemary wood smoked Muscovy duck served with red cabbage, blackberry.
Cooking in Phuket, Chef Yannick is inspired by the fabulous local bounty of fresh seafood, vegetables, aromatic herbs and spices. At L’ARÔME BY THE SEA, he incorporates the use of premium imported products, such as french oysters, turbot and japanese Busyu wagyu and introduces locally grown, in-season produce where possible, such as Chiang Mai strawberry, peach and tomato, Phuket lobster, wild-caught Krabi blue crab, hand picked local clams or local grown sea grapes.
Our Menu Prestige in 5 or 7 sequences are showpieces offering a deep and memorable journey and never fail to surprise with their precise execution and whimsical ideas. Over 200 fine wines from the carefully curated cellar harmoniously pair with the cuisine at L’ARÔME BY THE SEA.
