Walk up to the fourth floor of The Warehouse Talat Noi and you'll stumble upon something that looks like it's been beamed in from a sci-fi film. Electric Sheep is a Mediterranean restaurant that takes its name from Philip K. Dick's dystopian novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the 1970s fiction later adapted into Blade Runner.
The spot is the brainchild of Yoan Martin and Amerigo Tito Sesti, two chefs who spent seven years working together at J'AIME, the Michelin-awarded French restaurant in Sathorn. One day they both clocked the state of the planet and decided to open somewhere properly sustainable. Electric Sheep was born with a mission to use Thai ingredients in every dish. As the chefs put it, they're going 'back to nature, through culture, dreaming future'.
Chef Yoan hails from the south of France while Chef Tito grew up in northern Italy. Different countries, sure, but both rooted in Mediterranean food culture, which they've brought here and paired with local produce.
The space itself is brilliantly moody. Dim neon lights glow against bare concrete walls, and there's a small room at the front with shelves and pink twilight lighting that feels like some sort of experimental lab. Even the menu system is unusual: instead of paper, you get film sheets in a box with a tiny light projector at each table. Slide them in one by one to see what's on offer, then send your choices to the kitchen.
The rooftop doubles as a kitchen garden supplying fresh veg, while food scraps get composted into fertiliser. Furniture and plates come from local artists and designers who share the same eco goals.
