The Melting Clock: A sophisticated spot for Italian cuisine and exquisite wine in Bangkok

It’s no secret that Bangkok has a lot of excellent Italian restaurants and wine bars, so standing out in the crowd is no small task. But The Melting Clock, the Italian restaurant and wine lounge in Ekkamai, has shown that exceptional vision and creativity can carve out a distinctive space in this competitive dining and wining scene. Named after Salvador Dalí’s iconic painting, “The Persistence of Memory,” The Melting Clock combines artistic flair with culinary excellence. This means you can expect an experience that is as visually captivating as gastronomically delightful.

Artistic interior with a distinctive character and charming ambience

The Melting Clock adds a dash of la dolce vita and a lot of pizzazz to the Ekkamai neighbourhood of Bangkok. When you walk in, take a moment to admire the distinct design that pays homage to Dalí’s surrealist art. Ornate chandeliers casting warm lighting, walls covered with art, floor-to-ceiling wine racks, and relaxed jazz music playing in the background all combine to create an elegant yet inviting space.

Open seven days a week, serving lunch, dinner, and everything in between, The Melting Clock is suitable for various occasions. There are intimate corners for romantic dinners, larger tables for group gatherings, and a lively bar area for casual drinks. You can also find two private rooms for more exclusive events, team meetings, or personal celebrations.

With their sophisticated yet unpretentious atmosphere, you’ll fall in love with The Melting Clock even before you’ve indulged in their delightful creations. And prepare to have one of the best dining experiences in your life. Aside from the tasteful interior, this Italian restaurant and wine lounge provides Thai hospitality at its finest: warmth, attentiveness, and a passion for good food.

Fine Italian cuisine with a selection of Thai delights

The interior alone makes it worth the journey wherever you are in Bangkok. However, what really steals the show is the food. Top-notch ingredients come together to create some seriously mouth-watering Italian cuisine. For a well-rounded start to your meal, go for the affettati misti e foccaccina al rosmarino. With an Italian cold-cut selection and rosemary and olive oil focaccia, it offers a range of flavours without being overwhelming.

Don’t forget to sink in a delicious bowl of pasta because this is undoubtedly where The Melting Clock truly shines. The bucatini con crema e guanciale, which consists of “setaro” bucatini with guanciale ham, cream, salted egg yolk, and black pepper, is everything you hope for and more – rich, creamy, and savoury all in one dish. Vegetarian options are available, too, such as the penne all’arrabbiata. It offers a satisfying combination of heat from the chili peppers, richness from the tomato sauce, and freshness from the garlic and parsley.

Dining with your friends? You can’t go wrong with The Melting Clock’s artisanal pizzas. Keep it classic with the Margherita, or go with Diavola for something spicy. And if you have vegan friends joining you, they can opt for vegan mozzarella.

Meat lovers will delight in dishes like tagliata di petto d’anatra in salsa di guanciale e amarene sciroppate, where grilled duck breast is sliced and served with a sauce made of guanciale ham, sweet Italian cherries, and shallots. Their seafood dishes, such as the salmone con capperi e erbette, also score high. It’s a salmon steak cooked in white wine with capers and herbs, served with potato, carrot, and celery concasse. Furthermore, this Italian restaurant in Bangkok also offers a limited but delightful selection of Thai food, such as shrimp Pad Thai noodles and spicy mango salad.

Exceptional wine selection at unbeatable prices

Aside from being a delightful Italian restaurant, The Melting Clock Bangkok is also a wine lounge. This means they take their wine seriously. With over 300 labels in their selection, every wine-producing region in the world is represented in their extensive and varied list. They also offer the most competitive prices in Bangkok, so it’s accessible for all to indulge in their exceptional collection.
