Hemingway’s Various DiningAreas Provide a Moveable FeastYou can�t help but feel that Ernest would have approved. Papawould have fitted in nicely at the new Habana cocktail bar atthe recently opened Sukhumvit eatery which bears his name,sipping a dry martini at sunset as the ornamental fountain inthe lush garden provided the background to some strident jazz.

The two level restaurant is a shrine to the adventurouslifestyle that the larger than life writer enjoyed, with wholesections of the establishment devoted to African, Caribbeanand Spanish themes.

Owner Damian Mackay, from Western Australia, hascreated a menu that has also been very heavily influencedby Hemingway�s spheres of operation. Intriguing dishes onthe rich menu include: Patatas Bravas with Mojo Rojo andSaffron Aioli, Spanish Mix, Chilli Salt Fried Squid withHemingway�s own Tartar Sauce, Classic Anchor Bar BuffaloWings with Hot Sauce and Blue Cheese Dressing, Sea Basswith Hemingway�s Oyster and Absinthe Broth, SteamedMussels and Braised Lettuce, La Scala Chopped Salad,Imported Hard Salami, Mozzarella Cheese, Parma Ham, PittedOlives and Shaved Parmesan on a bed of Chang Mai CosLettuce and Hemingway�s Dressing.

The beautiful old building that now houses Hemingway�s wasbuilt over 90 years ago, within metres of what is now bustlingSukhumvit Road and the Sukhumvit/Asoke transport hub.

Rare golden teak was used in the construction, and the buildinghas served as a home to notable figures from Bangkok�spast, including the Siamese Ambassador to Laos, the son ofKing Rama VIII�s Royal Guardian.

Hemingway�s sits just inside Sukhumvit Soi 14, opens from11.30 am until late, and provides their tempting meals anddrink selections throughout the day. Diners can choose tolinger in the airconditioned restaurant, the relaxing verdantgarden, the Habana Bar or the upper deck Marlin Boulevard.
