Colette Bangkok introduces Les Amis de Colette: La Série, a new collaborative programme spotlighting Bangkok’s hospitality scene with a unique pairing of French and Neapolitan flavours in an exclusive one-night event on 21 August 2026.
Colette Bangkok is adding a new reason to book a table on Sukhumvit with the launch of Les Amis de Colette: La Série, a collaborative dining programme designed to put Bangkok’s hospitality community in the spotlight. The first edition, titled "Naples on the Terrace", is a one-night-only evening pairing the French bistro’s style with the flavours of L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Bangkok. According to the announcement, the event will take place on 21 August 2026.
For diners, the appeal is straightforward: it brings together two crowd-pleasing cuisines in one setting, with French bistro dishes sharing the stage with Neapolitan staples. The menu is said to include Margherita and Napoletana pizzas alongside Lobster & Salmon Ravioli and Wagyu Tenderloin, while Naples-born DJ Joe Cola will provide the soundtrack. Colette’s broader identity as a polished but relaxed French-inspired venue makes the concept feel well suited to Bangkok’s social dining crowd, whether the plan is brunch, a date night or drinks that run late.
The restaurant itself sits on the ground floor of KROMO Bangkok, Curio Collection by Hilton, and has been positioned as a French bistro and wine bar with both indoor and outdoor seating. Colette’s usual offering leans into comforting classics and familiar luxuries, including cheese fondue, raclette, seared foie gras and beef tartare, backed by a sizeable by-the-glass wine list. Other listings describe the atmosphere as modern and inviting, with an open bar, soft lighting and a menu that moves comfortably from breakfast through to dinner.
That makes "Naples on the Terrace" less of a one-off gimmick than an extension of what Colette already sells well: an easygoing but refined place to eat and linger. For travellers staying in central Bangkok, it is the kind of collaborative dinner that offers both novelty and a recognisable level of comfort, especially for those who want a French-leaning meal without losing sight of the city’s more casual, sociable dining energy.
