Cafes in France were the centres of the cultural revolutions in the 17th and 18th centuries and places of artistic freedom. Bringing the culture of cafe gourmand to Bangkok is the newly-opened Cafe Madeleine at the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River.
Located on the riverfront promenade, this casual cafe is under the helm of executive pastry chef Andrea Bonaffini and features modern French mignardises, bakery and retail items, with Italian flair, and this is where the artistic freedom comes into play. "Cafe Madeleine is French-influenced even though I am Italian," laughs the chef. Freshly-baked croissants, decadent pastries, cakes, premium coffee, sourdough and the signature madeleines are what will get your mouth watering the minute you lay your eyes on them. And that's a lot!
