What is an evening at Sirocco like? It’s an experience best taken in with all five senses—difficult to describe, but we’ll try. Its sights are iconic: lebua’s imposing golden dome above you, the twinkling lights of Bangkok around and below.
About Sirocco
Its sounds: the live jazz band and audible gasps as guests emerge from the dome and catch a first glimpse of the view. “Wow.” We hear that a lot.
Its smells and tastes also tend to elicit appreciative gasps: authentic Mediterranean cuisine cooked to perfection. It’s so perfect, in fact, that the food, wine, ambiance and service all received a perfect ten from Thailand Tatler.
Take a Mediterranean voyage without moving from your seat, and experience flavors from Mykonos, Nice, Rome, Barcelona, Tunis and Beirut, all imaginatively interpreted. For the full taste experience, make sure to add our sommeliers’ recommended pairings.
An evening at Sirocco has become so iconic—so synonymous with Bangkok fine dining—that it might surprise you to hear that it almost didn’t happen.
When lebua was getting its start, we were told by many that a rooftop restaurant where Sirocco now sits was a bad idea. There was no view. Believing in our vision for the world’s highest alfresco restaurant, we used 100 tons of steel to elevate the floor, ultimately creating one of Bangkok’s finest views and most celebrated dining experiences.
Finally, how about the sense of touch? How does a night at Sirocco feel on the skin? It’s a pleasant balmy breeze—none of the hot stickiness you might find 64 floors below. Or, maybe, goosebumps. Not from chill, but from the whole experience—a little bit of moonlit magic. But don’t take our word for it. Like we said, it’s something you need to experience for yourself.
THE CHEF
Chef Okan draws inspiration from its very own DNA, as his culinary journey is deeply rooted in the city of Bolu, Turkey, renowned for its distinguished chefs. With a family lineage that boasts numerous culinary experts, his passion for the culinary arts was nurtured from an early age.
“Drawing from my diverse culinary background, I blend and present a fusion of flavors, infusing my creativity into every dish. When you dine at Sirocco and savor my creations, each bite will transport you to a different cultural experience.”
Okan Ozturk , Chef de Cuisine
Having gained invaluable experience working across various international luxury hotel chains and Michelin-starred restaurants, the chef has had the privilege of refining his skills in culinary hotspots such as Seville in Spain, Nice in France, Macau, Dubai, and Istanbul in Turkey. One of his most notable achievements includes participating in the highly esteemed Bocuse d'Or competition, both in Turkey and Sweden. In addition to Chef’s competition experiences, Chef Okan was also honored with the opportunity to serve as a jury member for the Bocuse d'Or competition held in Turkey. In his pursuit of success, the chef firmly believes in maintaining a positive mentality. He emphasizes the importance of leaving a distinct mark on every endeavor, approaching each task with the mindset of signing his name under exceptional creations.
