Six Hands on Deck: Ojo Brings Together a Triple Threat of Michelin and 50 Best Talent
For foodies whose bucket list needs a little altitude, Ojo Bangkok is about to take it skyhigh‑. On April 10, Thailand’s highest restaurant is tossing the rulebook out the window and hosting ‘A SixHands‑ Dinner Above the Clouds’, a one‑nightonly‑ collision of three culinary heavyweights. With big flavors on the menu and even bigger views from the top of The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, expect a whirlwind world tour crafted by three chefs who don’t believe in playing it safe.
This rare collaboration brings together a trio of chefs whose philosophies orbit around heritage, innovation and a borderline‑obsessive pursuit of perfection. Leading the charge is Chef Francisco “Paco” Ruano, the creative force behind Ojo and the man who propelled Guadalajara’s Restaurante Alcalde to #15 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. With time at Mugaritz and Noma under his belt, Paco’s cooking is a sharp, modern break from the clichés of Mexican cuisine.
Joining him is Chef Chele Gonzalez of Gallery by Chele in Manila, a one‑Michelin‑star visionary known for his anthropological cuisine, where local culture, memory and technique get distilled into something entirely new. Completing the trio is Chef Willy Monroy of Milpa in Osaka, the first Mexican chef to earn a Michelin star in the city. His style blends Japanese ingredients with Mexican soul, shaped in part by his time with the Noma pop‑up in Japan.
With only 80 seats available, the evening promises a collaborative menu that drifts between Mexico, the Philippines and Japan, celebrating the smoky, pickled and vibrant contrasts that define these culinary traditions. A Champagne Blanc de Blancs pairing is on hand for anyone who wants to take the high‑altitude experience even higher.
The Six‑Hands Dinner Above the Clouds at Ojo Bangkok will take place on Friday, 10 April from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Price is THB 6,900++ per person (food only); THB 3,500++ for wine pairing.
