Executive chef Top Russell’s love for food grew into passion when he joined his first kitchen career at the age of 17. His career developed rapidly as he moved to work in multiple Michelin starred restaurants in London with highly acclaimed names such as Alexis Gautheir, Jun Tanaka and most notably the legendary french chef Peirre Gagnaire. The freedom of using modern western techniques coupled with Asian flavours is still relatively new and unexplored in the Bangkok dining scene. Freebird is a true canvas for chef Top Russell and his team to explore the many depths of these techniques.
