White Box Restaurant Review

coast road Modern Mediterranean & Asian Food

Sophisticated and intimate yet lively and entertaining. These characteristics are the medley which form the ideal dining and nightlife venue, which surprise and please the most discerning guests. Combine these elements with an unsurpassed beachfront setting with views of the Andaman Sea and the setting sun at dusk and there is the perfect location for a memorable evening out.

White Box on Kalim Bay offers such an extraordinary dining and social occasion out. Once a house nestled on the beach and known to locals as White Box due to its colour and shape, it was refurbished by its present owner to a restaurant and bar. This two and a half storey building holds an outdoor rooftop bar and both an outdoor and air conditioned dining area on the first floor. The original theme of white has been retained while the colour blue marks the Mediterranean cuisine that is served.

Congenial host and owner Marc Audibert and Chef Vincent Denayer provide an unmatched combination of warm hospitality and fine cuisine. Appetizers of Tuna Tartar in sesame oil and balsamico dressing, avocado and tomato tartar and Pan Fried Rock Lobster and Foie Gras wth cantaloupe, mango and apple salsa and lavender essence – unique and innovative combinations of seafood and meat with fruit and vegetables – provide a sight and taste adventure into the glorious food at White Box.

A superlative main course also serves to capture and continue the exquisite recommendations that are just savoured. The Grilled Wagyu Beef Sirloin with grande escolha reduction, figs, plum and mizuna salad is a superbly cooked Waygu steak served with a divine array of sauce and salad. The seafood delight of the Steamed Snow Fish with shitake mashed potato, porcini and saffron cream sauce with clams is a delectable fusion of an array of vegetables and spices with a moistly cooked and flavourful fish.

Desserts also hold a pleasant array of suprises! The Chocolate Soufflé with vanilla ice cream and the Pineapple Carpaccio with spices caramel and coconut sorbet are treats to finish the meal.

After dinner, move to the party upstairs and get a taste of Latino, Salsa, Hip-Hop, R&B and more that White Box features on weekend nights. Dance with the tunes into the late hours of the evening!

A superlative beachside location with both intimacy and a lively social and nightlife scene, an outstanding cuisine and superb service make White Box a venue to frequent.
