The new Peruvian restaurant "Guilty," with its luxurious atmosphere surrounded by contemporary art and vibrant music, invites guests to enjoy delicious Latin American fusion cuisine in the heart of Bangkok – a new hotspot with a certain something. The cuisine, which impresses with playful touches and typical Thai spices, features the finest ingredients and unique preparation methods. Guests can not only indulge in culinary delights but also immerse themselves in a new gastronomic world.

Venezuelan chef Carlos Rodriguez, who has years of experience in Thailand's fine dining scene, including at the two-Michelin-starred restaurants Gaggan and Meatlicious, created the entire Guilty menu with the aim of enchanting every guest from the very first bite. He brings the vibrant cuisine of his homeland to the table, blending modern Latin American, Peruvian, and Nikkei influences in both the food and the accompanying drinks. His deep understanding of the flavors and cultures that merge between Latin America and Asia is an essential part of his menu—it is truly his culinary masterpiece.
