LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar, the rooftop dining destination at INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, has unveiled a new menu that celebrates the rich and diverse flavours of Spain. Located on the 33rd floor and overlooking Bangkok’s skyline, the venue brings together authentic Spanish cuisine and a unique dining experience beneath the transparent base of the hotel's infinity pool.

The new menu has been crafted by the hotel's Spanish chef de cuisine, Juan Ignacio Garcia Racionero, popularly known as Chef Nacho. Originally from Madrid, Chef Nacho has built his culinary expertise in some of Spain’s leading kitchens and has designed the menu to showcase flavours from different regions across the country.

Drawing inspiration from Spain’s varied gastronomic traditions, the menu features everything from San Sebastian-style pintxos and Basque-influenced dishes to Madrid street-food favourites, Andalusian seafood specialities, and traditional rice and fideuà dishes associated with Spain’s eastern coastal regions.

Among the signature offerings are Steak tartar y Gilda San Sebastian, which combines Wagyu tenderloin tartare with brown and white anchovies and Spanish pickles on ciabatta, and Tacos de Rabo de Toro, featuring braised oxtail, roasted piquillo peppers and smoked Idiazabal cheese served in homemade corn tacos.

Seafood takes centre stage across the menu with dishes such as Carpaccio de Gamba Roja, a red prawn carpaccio finished with espelette pepper and extra virgin olive oil, and Lomo de Corvina al Pil Pil de Azafran y Aji Amarillo, a croaker dish paired with saffron-infused pil-pil sauce, yellow chilli and fish collagen.

Other highlights include Pulpo Frito served with mashed potato and paprika oil, black squid-ink fideuà with red prawns and octopus, and a seafood paella prepared with clams, mussels and squid.

The dessert selection continues the Spanish theme with a burnt Basque chocolate cheesecake served alongside white chocolate ice cream, warm chocolate fondant with vanilla custard, and creamy rice pudding topped with confit strawberries.

"This menu is very personal to me because it draws on the different regions and flavours I grew up with in Spain," said Chef Nacho. "Spanish cuisine changes dramatically from one region to another, and I wanted the menu to encapsulate that diversity and match the energy of LUZ's, with dishes designed to be shared over cocktails and incredible views of Bangkok".

LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar welcomes guests daily from 4pm until midnight, offering an elevated dining experience that combines Spanish culinary traditions with panoramic views of Bangkok.
