Perched where the Gulf of Thailand meets golden sands at the Hua Hin Marriott Resort & Spa, Big Fish & Bar transforms seaside dining into an elegant, air-conditioned spectacle. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted vistas of turquoise waters, where sunset transforms the horizon into liquid gold. This culinary landmark presents Executive Chef Sabri Kocoglu’s vision: a sophisticated tasting journey marrying the bounty of local waters with global technique and authentic Thai coastal soul, a trajectory that won them a HOT Magazine Signature Award recognizing it as the Best Beachfront Restaurant in Hua Hin.
Expect artistry celebrating premium ingredients in an ambiance of refined tranquility. Standouts include pristine Irish Oysters crowned with glistening salmon caviar, vibrant Tasmanian Salmon Aguachile kissed by zesty lime and chili, and sumptuous Duck Foie Gras luxuriating with sweet Hua Hin figs and crushed pistachios. Seafood mastery shines through impeccably cooked Atlantic Monkfish adorned with woodland mushrooms and delicate white wine sauce, alongside an elevated Pla Muek Pad Kee Mao. This “drunken squid” stir-fry bursts with aromatic Thai basil and birds-eye chilies, showcasing hyper-local squid at its peak. Indulgence crescendos with show-stopping Japanese F1 Wagyu Striploin – a buttery revelation enhanced by earthy beets, black garlic, and truffle-infused gravy that unites the plate in pure umami harmony.
Dessert delivers a triumphant triple finale: the deep velvet richness of Textures of Chocolate, refreshing Tres Leches brightened by local mango and coconut ice cream, and a tropical Passion Fruit Vanilla Cheesecake where bright acidity dances against creamy decadence.
Beyond the plate, impeccably timed service by knowledgeable staff elevates the experience into seamless theatre. Each dish arrives as a curated moment, with servers offering insightful narratives on provenance and preparation. Chef Kocoglu’s ambition – fusing global sophistication with Hua Hin’s coastal essence – resonates in every detail. Marriott Bonvoy members enjoy a valuable 10% discount on à la carte selections.
