Garima Arora’s Restaurant Gaa, Bangkok is giving the city’s brunch scene a cultural reset. The two Michelin-starred restaurant has just launched Uncorked Weekends: a wine-soaked, chef-led series that pairs global interpretations of Indian cuisine with access to Gaa’s 300+ bottle cellar.
This isn’t your typical pop-up. It’s plated with precision, poured with intent, and designed to bring the world’s best culinary minds into Gaa’s universe, for one afternoon at a time.
First up? Chef Mischa Tropp of Toddy Shop, Melbourne, who lands in Bangkok on Saturday, July 12, 2025, with unapologetically bold Keralite flavours and a brunch menu rooted in the spice-rich coastlines of Southern India.
What’s on the Table
Fish Fry. Ghee Masala Dosa. Sevai Payasam.
Familiar, but reworked. Traditional, but not locked in amber. It’s the kind of menu that feels generous, in portion and in spirit.
The wine experience is equally front-and-centre: a curated flight (THB 1,900++), or go rogue with 20% off any bottle from Gaa’s rare and obsessively curated cellar. The full brunch experience clocks in at THB 3,800++. And yes, it’s worth clearing your Saturday for.
About the Space
Gaa’s new home, a 60-year-old Baan Ruen Thai transplanted from Ayutthaya, balances softness and structure. Grey-washed interiors, bold plateware, and that unmistakable modern Indian visual language Garima is known for. The house still breathes heritage, but now with different lungs.
The Bigger Play
Uncorked Weekends isn’t just a new brunch format. It’s Gaa opening its doors (and its wine list) to conversations between chefs, cultures, and culinary traditions. Every edition will feature a new guest chef, a different region, and a fresh lens on what Indian food can be when it travels, adapts, and still holds its ground.
