17 August 2026 | Anglothai* x Restaurant Flore**
For the first time, exclusively for a series of 4-hands dinners in which Executive Chef Bas van Kranen shares the kitchen with four chefs who inspire him. This summer and autumn, the kitchen at Restaurant Flore changes shape — not as guest shifts or takeovers, but as conversations between chefs who approach cooking differently, yet recognise something familiar in each other’s work.
John Chantarasak – Anglothai
Bas met John at an earlier event, where the reaction was immediate: this is someone who can cook. The same intensity, the same precision, the same understanding of how spice works when it is properly controlled. At AngloThai, John cooks Thai food through British ingredients, using elements such as holy basil from vertical farms in London and sea buckthorn where tamarind would traditionally appear.
Bas Invites
Each dinner begins with a personal connection: a conversation, a shared obsession, a mutual respect for ingredients and the natural world.
What follows is expressed through a one-of-a-kind menu, bringing together the conscious fine dining philosophy of Flore with new perspectives, techniques, and seasonal inspirations from each invited chef.
