Islero Bangkok

In a city known for wide-ranging culinary excellence, it takes agility and finesse to earn acclaim among Bangkok’s most sophisticated diners. Islero Spanish restaurant makes all the right moves.

Just like a top-flight torero, any restaurateur who steps into Bangkok’s culinary ring must perform at the highest level. Every step, every maneuver must be carefully considered and precisely executed. Yet, it’s not enough to merely get the job done, as important as that will always be. Your art and craft likewise must be done with style, flair and no small amount of brio.

At Islero Spanish restaurant, diners will be forgiven if moved to shout “¡Bravo!” at the taste of every distinctive dish.

Moreover, while Spanish cuisine is available elsewhere in the city, no venue can match the scope of Islero’s menu. Rather than rely on familiar Spanish favorites – although certainly those see their own innovative interpretations – the menu at Islero stands apart for its many dishes served nowhere else in Bangkok. Best of all, Bangkokians who might otherwise travel to Europe for such outstanding cuisine – and indeed likely have roamed the world seeking unforgettable culinary experiences – can put their passports away this time and head to Islero for Spain’s finest flavors.

Islero takes its name from Spain’s most famous fighting bull, a legendary toro whose ferociousness has come to symbolize human strength and determination in any endeavor. That endeavor at Islero pertains to creating unrivalled Spanish cuisine worthy of the most emphatic applause.

Mastery in the kitchen
If there’s a matador – a superstar bullfighter – of cookery at Islero, it’s certainly Chef Emiliano Gabriel Vignoni Alvarellos. His glittering culinary career includes not only positions at two-Michelin-starred Mugaritz and Atrio restaurants, but also work and training at no less than famed three-Michelin-starred El Bulli in Barcelona. The chef further honed his craft when with Seville’s two-Michelin-starred Hacienda Benazuza at El Bulli Hotel.

Beyond a matador of the kitchen, Chef Emiliano can be thought of as an author, that is, a culinary artist who composes the story of every meal – a cucina del autor. For the chef, the revered traditions of Spanish cuisine are his inspiration and the plate his page.
