Chef
David
Thompson
He is responsible for elevating Thai cuisine to the ranks of gastronomic excellence. Ten years after leaving London, the chef David Thompson is about to reopen a restaurant in the British capital. Here’s why his return will not go unnoticed in the food world. Originally from Australia, David Thompson is a member of that select circle of chefs for whom foodies were ready to cross the planet… before the pandemic. If you’ve only just got into following food news, his name may not ring a bell. But his upcoming arrival in London will finally give you the opportunity to sample his cuisine and understand why the British press is so excited about his return. Although born in Sydney, David Thompson built his reputation on making Thai cuisine a truly, internationally recognised gastronomic cuisine.
In partnership with the COMO hotel group, the Australian chef added a second address to his portfolio, this time in the promised land, in Bangkok. Thompson kept his star London restaurant shining for ten years, before finally deciding to focus on the success of his restaurant in the Thai capital. And as soon as Michelin decided to launch an edition dedicated to Thai gastronomy, David Thompson earned a star. That was in 2017. But the chef’s talent had already been celebrated for several years by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The British magazine Restaurant offered him an entry right away in 2012. Nahm then experienced a meteoric rise to 13th place in 2014. And it continued to feature until 2018, when David Thompson decided to hang up his apron in Bangkok (it is the chef Pim Techamuanvivit who is now at the helm).
