Les Amis de Colette marks its first anniversary with a one‑night‑only event on September 25, 2026 at Colette Bangkok. From 6 PM to 10:30 PM, diners will taste collaborative dishes and guest‑crafted drinks in the bistro’s central Sukhumvit location, a moment that the team hopes will become a memorable milestone for the neighbourhood.
One‑Night Celebration Details
The venue sits at the entrance of Sukhumvit Soi 29, a short walk from BTS Phrom Phong, Asok and MRT Sukhumvit stations. Its terrace offers open‑air seating that captures the city’s evening pulse, allowing guests to hear distant traffic while feeling a gentle breeze.

Series Overview
These collaborations illustrate how monthly pop‑up formats can keep a city’s dining scene fresh, giving patrons a reason to return and explore new flavors without waiting for a permanent menu shift. The concept encourages chefs and bartenders to step outside their usual routines, supporting a spirit of experimentation that benefits the whole culinary ecosystem.
Les Amis de Colette: La Série is an ongoing monthly program that pairs chefs and bartenders from Bangkok and beyond. Each edition offers unique dining experiences, guest shifts and one‑night‑only menus designed to surprise regulars, while also providing a platform for emerging talent to showcase their skills.
Looking ahead, the celebration will also preview additions slated for Colette’s evolving dinner menu, hinting at future seasonal dishes that will continue the blend of French tradition and local innovation. The preview includes a glimpse of a herb‑infused broth that may become a staple in the spring lineup.
