Savour the Extraordinary: Fine Dining Experience Reimagined
Nabbing a coveted seat at a chef’s counter is a bucket‑list dream for many gourmands, yet a world‑class fine dining experience need not demolish your holiday budget. Across Asia‑Pacific, members of ALL Accor+ Explorer enjoy 30 % off food and 15 % off drinks—even at Michelin‑starred and award‑winning restaurants—turning once‑in‑a‑lifetime meals into smart value plays. Below, discover five chef’s‑table moments where your membership opens doors (and loosens corks), plus etiquette and reservation hacks for seamless first visits.
1. Belga Rooftop Bar & Brasserie, Bangkok – Belgian Favourites Above Sukhumvit
Take the lift to the 32nd floor of Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit and step straight into Brussels: steaming moules-frites, glistening beer taps and a terrace made for sunset. ALL Accor+ Explorer members save 30% on food and 15% on drinks for up to ten guests, and every baht still earns Reward points. Order Chef Nicolas Basset’s roasted bone-marrow, follow it with a flight of Trappist ales and watch the neon flicker to life.
Tip: arrive before 6 p.m. to claim a front-row seat for golden hour—the best tables go fast.
2. SKAI, Singapore – 70th-Floor Grill With Bay-Front Drama
Level 70 of Swissôtel The Stamford sets the stage for SKAI’s modern grill: miso-aged Wagyu, line-caught tuna and small-batch produce plated against a skyline that sweeps from Marina Bay to the open sea. With ALL Accor+ Explorer you shave 30% off à-la-carte dishes and 15% off drinks—or 50% when dining as a pair—so the bill stays grounded while the view soars.
First-timer hack: Dress smart-casual, request a window two-top, and flag any dietary quirks 48 hours ahead; the brigade is famously flexible.
3. Le Beaulieu, Hanoi – Haute Cuisine in a Heritage Icon
Tucked inside the 1901‑built Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Le Beaulieu marries classic French technique with Vietnamese terroir—think foie‑gras torchon finished with Đà Lạt strawberries or line‑caught Hạ Long Bay snapper, beurre blanc on the side. Chef Charles Degrendele’s open kitchen adds a dash of theatre as sauces are whisked and soufflés rise.
ALL Accor+ Explorer members enjoy exclusive dining savings — 30 % off meals and 15 % off drinks (one membership per table, up to ten diners) — so that île flottante dessert is practically mandatory.
Local tip: Weekday lunch features a keenly priced three-course set menu, and tables nearest the open show kitchen let you watch sauces being whisked to order. After dessert, ask Guest Relations to book you onto the hotel’s “Path of History” tour for a rare descent into the Metropole’s wartime bomb shelter (subject to availability).
4. Cellar Table at Atelier, Sydney – Bordeaux Meets Darling Harbour
Descend beneath Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour’s two‑hat Atelier to a timber table flanked by 300 vintages. Provençal classics—lobster bouillabaisse finished tableside, côte de bœuf for two—arrive alongside sommelier‑selected pours. ALL Accor+ Explorer members shave 30 % off food plus 15 % off that rare Barossa Shiraz.
Reservation intel: Request the wine‑cellar table (maximum 14) when emailing; it is not on public booking engines. Arrive five minutes early to greet the head sommelier and influence the flight.
5. MIO Omakase, Seoul – Tokyo Technique, Han River Skyline
Within Sofitel Ambassador Seoul, MIO blends Korean seafood with Japanese knife work. Counter seats are limited, so conversation with the itamae flows naturally. Your ALL Accor+ Explorer discount applies to lunch and dinner, making that toro upgrade an easy yes.
Politeness pointer: Koreans value punctuality; aim to arrive exactly at your booking time.
Booking hacks for ALL Accor+ Explorer members
- Use “Restaurants” on the Accor Plus site to locate restaurants and check blackout dates.
- Boost your balance: charge meals to your room to collect ALL Reward points on top of the dining discount; Status Nights accrue only from the stay itself.
- Pair with Stay Plus: use one of your two complimentary Stay Plus nights at the same hotel to drift upstairs after dessert.
- Watch Red Hot Rooms: flash sales can land a suite for up to 50 % off, turning dinner into a full tasting‑and‑turndown weekend.
From Bangkok to Bali, these venues prove a fine dining experience can be both bucket‑list and budget‑wise when you hold the right membership card. So polish your etiquette, sharpen your appetite and let ALL Accor+ Explorer guide you to seats most gourmands only day‑dream about.
