Recently, I stopped by Quince restaurant in Bangkok for a weekday lunch, a long-overdue chance to revisit a restaurant that features thoughtful food in a pleasant space. Tucked behind a furniture shop on Sukhumvit Road, Quince has gone through at least two chefs in about eighteen months. Originally helmed by Jess Barnes, now at the excellent Opposite Mess Hall, the menu at Quince continues to impress.
This being lunch and dining with only one other person, I didn’t get a chance to try a broad selection. This special, a beetroot risotto with asparagus, parsley, and feta, was nicely composed and properly cooked. I would have preferred the beetroot to have been diced and folded in at the last moment instead of being pureed into the dish, but you have to admit that the scarlet color is striking.
From the regular menu, the ricotta gnocchi with zucchini, green pea, lemon, mint, and chili was nicely executed, bright flavors with good attention to the vegetables not being overcooked.
The interior of the restaurant continues to be one of my favorite in Bangkok – lots of light without being overly bright, different rooms have different types of energy. It is an especially good place for lunch or brunch, simply because it isn’t as crowded. I look forward to another return visit soon.

I LOVE beet anything and, interestingly, made a golden beet borscht just last night watching the Seahawks whoop the 49ers
Haven’t ever had a golden beet borscht. Would be interesting to try.
They look yum!
Very much so.
Did it taste as good as it looks?
Pretty much so, yes.
It definitely looks spectacular. The colors are great. How was the taste?
The taste was good.
that beetroot risotto looks damn inviting. you have reviewed this place numerous times and i have yet to try it out. a must place to visit the next time in bangkok.
Well, there are places I would put higher on the list but if you are here for an extended stay, sure, add it to your list.
After seeing that eye-popping risotto, I had to drop in.
Ha ha… they say bright colors attract attention. Guess it worked!
