Nestled among the lush greenery of the historic Dempsey Hills area of Singapore, the complex of grand colonial-era buildings that once functioned as the main military barracks for the British Army in Singapore have been extensively restored and converted into a thriving upscale lifestyle complex of restaurants, antique stores, and art galleries. In one of the more prominent heritage buildings near the main entrance to the complex, the globally renowned Thai silk and textile company- Jim Thompson- established their flagship Thai restaurant in 2009 – the acclaimed Jim Thompson Thai Restaurant & Wine Bar. Drawing on decades of design experience and the cultural heritage of the famous Jim Thompson Residence and Museum in Bangkok, the company have created a magnificent statement of restaurant design- artfully combining the impressive colonial architecture with a contemporary Thai style of refined elegance.
The culinary experience is equally as important as the interior design, and Jim Thompson Restaurant & Wine Bar engaged a team of talented Thai chefs to create an authentic Thai cuisine, based on traditional Thai recipes and ingredients, adding some modern innovations in the process. The expansive restaurant provides guests with three options of dining style- a true fine-dining experience in the stunning main dining hall, the more casual style of the Wine Bar, and the relaxed atmosphere at the outdoor garden terrace setting.
