Thailand is a rich blend of regional tastes, with each part of the country offering its own unique flavours. From north to south, there’s a dish to match every palate. Seafood is a speciality of the southern region, but you don’t have to travel far, as right here in Bangkok, Matsaya brings those authentic dishes straight to your table.
The name ‘Matsya’ comes from Sanskrit and means fish, a fitting tribute to the nation’s rich coastal heritage. The restaurant celebrates traditional cooking techniques, from live fire and wood to charcoal grilling.
The menu is packed with seafood delights, from stir-fried squid in black ink sauce to deep-fried fish mousse with red curry and herbs. But the true showstopper is the catch of the day, a seasonal fish that changes daily. Whether it’s in a rich red curry or another culinary highlight, every visit brings a new surprise for your taste buds.
And it’s not just about great food. Matsaya also cares about the planet. Every plate you enjoy contributes B40 to initiatives that help preserve our oceans, so your meal makes a difference beyond the table.
