LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar at INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit is set to host a special one-night rooftop experience featuring Michelin-starred Chef Manuel Alonso. Scheduled for April 25, the event titled “Taste of Tapas: Touch the Sky” will bring together Spanish culinary traditions and a lively dining atmosphere in the heart of Bangkok.

The four-hour takeover is being organised in collaboration with the Spanish-Thai Chamber of Commerce and will also feature LUZ’s Head Chef Juan Ignacio “Nacho” García Racionero. The evening will focus on a shared dining concept, with a curated tapas menu designed by both chefs.

Chef Manuel Alonso brings with him over four decades of experience from Casa Manolo, his family-run restaurant in Valencia. Known for its deep connection to Mediterranean coastal cuisine, the restaurant has earned a Michelin star along with several Sol Repsol recognitions. His cooking style reflects a balance of locally sourced ingredients and techniques shaped over years of experience in Spain’s leading kitchens.

At LUZ Bangkok, guests can expect dishes that highlight his roots, including a seafood paella inspired by Valencia, along with ajo blanco, a chilled almond and garlic soup served with smoked sardine. The menu is designed for sharing, staying true to the social nature of Spanish dining.

The event will be held from 5 pm to 9 pm. Guests will be served a selection of tapas along with one drink, while DJ music adds to the relaxed rooftop setting. Members of the Spanish-Thai Chamber of Commerce will also receive a welcome sangria on arrival.

Located across the 33rd and 34th floors, LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar offers an indoor-outdoor layout with open views of the city skyline. A unique highlight of the venue is the view from the 33rd floor, where diners can look up into the base of the pool above.

Sharing his thoughts, Tarek Beheiry, general manager of INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, said, "Chef Alonso's cooking comes from decades of consistency and a very clear point of view. Spanish food is meant to be shared, and this social way of dining sits at the heart of how both chefs approach food; made even more special by our spectacular vistas of Bangkok's skyline."

With limited seating available, guests are encouraged to book in advance for this exclusive dining experience.
