Served nightly from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., the promotion is priced from THB 690++ for 500 grams or THB 1,250++ for one kilogram. Inspired in part by the festive spirit surrounding La Braderie de Lille and its famous mussel traditions, this Bangkok Hotel Food Promotions news report highlights an offering designed to bring some of Northern France’s convivial seafood culture to the Bangkok skyline. ALL Accor+ Explorer members can also enjoy their applicable Full Dining Benefit.
Seven Ways to Discover Mussels
Rather than building the promotion around a single classic recipe, Belga gives diners seven preparations to explore. Moules Pesto Green Herb combines green pesto with parsley, dill, spring onion, and basil before being finished with white wine, lemon, and butter, creating an aromatic, herb-driven option.
Moules Kasteel Beer takes a richer direction, pairing caramelized onion with dark beer and Parmesan. Moules Provençal stays closer to southern French traditions, bringing together spiced tomato, Pastis, garlic, and parsley.
Those looking for something closer to home can try Moules Khao Soi. The kitchen combines mussels with khao soi sauce, coconut cream, shallot, chili, and lime, accompanied by crispy noodles. It is an unusual meeting of European shellfish and one of Northern Thailand’s most recognizable flavor profiles.
From Bloody Mary to Rockefeller
The remaining selections broaden the experience further. Moules Bloody Mary uses vodka, tomato sauce, garlic, celery, and olive, translating elements of the classic cocktail into a savory mussel preparation.
Moules Rockefeller features spinach, shallot, and celery finished with white wine and butter, while Moules Creamy Garlic & Dijon combines garlic, onion, white wine, and whole-grain mustard with lemon and Parmesan for a creamy, tangy finish.
Belgian Flavors Above Bangkok
Belga Rooftop Bar & Brasserie occupies the 32nd floor of Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit, combining an air-conditioned dining room with an open-air terrace overlooking Bangkok. Its European brasserie identity extends beyond mussels to dishes such as beef tartare and Liège waffles, complemented by a substantial selection of Belgian beers.
The restaurant’s culinary direction is led by Executive Chef Nicolas Basset, whose European background fits naturally with Belga’s Belgian brasserie concept. During the Mussel Extravaganza, that identity provides an appropriate setting for a promotion centered on one of Belgium and Northern France’s best-known seafood traditions.
The Mussel Extravaganza runs until October 31, offering Bangkok diners considerable variety without losing sight of the simple appeal of freshly prepared mussels. From dark beer and Provençal tomato to Dijon mustard and Thai khao soi, the seven preparations make the promotion equally suited to traditionalists and adventurous diners. Prices exclude 7% VAT and 10% service charge, and guests with allergies or dietary requirements should inform the restaurant before ordering.
