Two steps away from the Bell Center, the Siam serves delicious classics of thaï cuisine. Accentuating the spaciousness offered by the mezzanine, wooden shelves and structures stretch from floor to ceiling while spherical light fixtures gracefully descend from the heights, fostering unity between the animated 1st level and the quieter 2nd storey. The dark tones of walls and furniture highlight the golden details of pillars, lighting and two enormous buddhas, as contrasts balance each other to create a sparkling, intimist vibe. Outside, the mezzanine opens onto a verdant terrasse doted with playful wrought iron cocoons, a space also accessible through a set of stairs decorated with a lush floral pattern.
