Michelin-Starred Chef Manuel Alonso Hosts Exclusive Rooftop Tapas Night at LUZ Bangkok

In a city known for its vibrant food culture, an extraordinary culinary evening is set to elevate Bangkok’s dining scene—quite literally. On April 25, 2026, the stylish rooftop venue LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar will host a one-night-only collaboration featuring Michelin-starred chef Manuel Alonso.

Set high above the bustling streets at INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, this exclusive event titled “Taste of Tapas: Touch the Sky” promises a refined yet social dining experience that blends Spanish culinary heritage with Bangkok’s cosmopolitan charm.


A Legacy of Spanish Excellence Meets Bangkok’s Modern Dining

Chef Alonso, the visionary behind the Michelin-starred Casa Manolo, brings over four decades of expertise rooted in Valencia’s rich coastal traditions. His cuisine is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors—where land meets sea, and simplicity meets mastery.

Joining him is LUZ Bangkok’s Head Chef Juan Ignacio García Racionero, fondly known as “Nacho,” whose contemporary tapas style perfectly complements Alonso’s time-honored techniques.

Together, the duo will craft a menu designed for sharing—true to the spirit of Spanish dining.


A Rooftop Feast Above the City

Guests attending this four-hour culinary showcase can expect a thoughtfully curated tapas menu featuring standout dishes such as:

  • Traditional Valencian seafood paella
  • Ajo blanco (chilled almond and garlic soup) with smoked sardines
  • A selection of premium Spanish tapas paired with curated drinks

The evening also includes live DJ entertainment, creating a vibrant yet relaxed ambiance ideal for both food lovers and social explorers.

Perched across the 33rd and 34th floors, LUZ Bangkok offers panoramic skyline views that transform dining into a sensory experience. One of its most unique architectural highlights allows guests to gaze up into the base of a rooftop pool—an Instagram-worthy moment in itself.
