Intercontinental Hotel Bangkok Introduces a Premium Seafood Dinner Buffet Spread at Expresso Restaurant

Bangkok’s luxury dining scene continues to give seafood enthusiasts plenty of reasons to venture out for dinner, and Espresso at InterContinental Bangkok is adding to the appeal with a premium evening buffet built around seafood, international specialties, grilled meats, and an extensive dessert selection. Designed as more than a conventional hotel buffet, the dinner brings together chilled seafood, dishes prepared to order, Asian favorites, and premium proteins in an upscale setting in the heart of Bangkok.

The experience begins with an extensive seafood-on-ice display, where diners can explore ingredients sourced from several regions. Among the highlights are Irish oysters and Fine de Claire oysters, accompanied by Avruga caviar, salmon roe, black lumpfish roe, and red lumpfish roe. As this Bangkok Hotel Buffets News report explores, the emphasis throughout the buffet is on giving guests considerable variety while allowing premium seafood to remain the centerpiece of the evening.

Oysters, Lobster and King Crab Take Center Stage

Beyond the oysters and roe, the chilled seafood selection features Golden King crab, Canadian lobster, river prawns, white prawns, New Zealand green mussels, and steamed blue crab.

Serving the seafood chilled and relatively simply allows its natural flavors and textures to remain prominent. Diners can move from oysters to lobster, crab, mussels, and prawns at their own pace, creating individual plates rather than following a fixed progression.

For seafood enthusiasts, this opening section alone offers substantial choice, but Espresso extends the experience with a barbecue station where ingredients are prepared to order.

Grilled Seafood Meets Distinctive Thai Flavors

Among the cooked seafood offerings is marinated salmon served with dill crème sauce, combining grilled fish with the freshness of dill and a creamy accompaniment. Marinated tiger prawns are paired with caper butter sauce for a richer alternative.

One of the more distinctive dishes is roasted Sri Lankan river prawn with Thai herbs and peanut chiki sauce. Large river prawns are split before roasting with aromatic herbs, including lemongrass, and served with a spicy dipping sauce. The combination introduces recognizable Thai flavors into a premium seafood format and provides a contrast to the more straightforward chilled preparations.

The cooked-to-order approach also helps distinguish this section from the traditional buffet model, with guests able to enjoy dishes shortly after they leave the grill.

Wagyu, Lamb and Asian Classics Broaden the Selection

Seafood may command much of the attention, but the buffet has also been structured for diners who prefer meat. New Zealand lamb chops and Australian Wagyu beef steaks are grilled according to guests’ preferred level of doneness.

Additional specials include Australian sirloin roasted with fresh herbs and whole salmon baked with salt and Thai herbs. Together, these dishes make the buffet particularly suitable for groups whose members have different dining preferences.

The Asian selection adds another dimension. Chinese favorites include Peking duck, roast duck, crispy pork belly, and char siu pork, while the broader international spread incorporates Japanese, Indian, and other dishes.

That diversity is particularly relevant for group dining. One guest can concentrate on oysters and lobster while another explores grilled beef, lamb, Chinese dishes, or other international selections without compromising the overall experience.

Desserts and Live Music Extend the Evening

Dessert is treated as another substantial part of the buffet rather than an afterthought. Guests can choose from Thai sweets, cakes, mango sticky rice, sticky rice shots, seasonal fruit, and a chocolate fountain.

Freshly prepared Crepe Suzette provides a warmer finale and can be paired with accompaniments including Nutella, strawberries, or chocolate.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the atmosphere is extended with live music from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m., giving diners an opportunity to linger over drinks and conversation after exploring the buffet.

Dinner Prices and Beverage Packages

The premium dinner buffet is available Wednesday through Sunday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Dinner is priced at THB 2,250++ per person on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, rising to THB 2,350++ per person on Fridays and Saturdays.

With premium chilled seafood, cooked-to-order grills, Wagyu beef, lamb, Asian classics, desserts, and weekend live music assembled under one roof, Espresso is positioning its dinner buffet as an expansive evening dining experience rather than simply a quick trip around a buffet line. Its combination of variety and premium ingredients also makes the offering particularly suited to seafood enthusiasts and groups looking for multiple cuisines in central Bangkok.
