Chateaubriand House of Steak is brand new, it just opened May 18, 2012 in The Promenade shopping mall. In this posh new mall there are lots of great restaurants but Chateaubriand looked the best at first glance. The food was delicious, the service was very good, and the atmosphere is nice. For 2 people the cost was about 1000 baht. It’s worth checking out!

The Menu: There are a lot of different steaks, from grilled sirloins, seared salmon, blackened cod in arrabiata sauce, pork chops with shitake mushrooms in a cream sauce, grilled beef ribeyes, rack of lamb steaks and also some basic pasta dishes too. There’s also a couple of desserts (only 2 on the menu at this time).
What I Ate: I tried the seared salmon, was also very tender, juicy, laying in a bed of spinach and cream sauce. The grilled sirloin steak, tasted so juicy and tender, almost as if it’s a roasted beef, it was delicious. Also a side order of french fries, they were great too, they are the crinkle cut type, I love those!
The Staff: Very friendly and helpful, no problems there!
