Vancouver’s award-winning Thai restaurant, Maenam, is launching Maenam and Friends: A Dinner Series, in which chef-owner Angus An and his team will be exclusively joined by acclaimed chefs from around the world.
Kicking things off is local talent Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson, executive chef of one Michelin star Published on Main, in March, followed by Duangporn “Bo” Songvisava and Dylan Jones, chefs of Bangkok’s celebrated Bo.lan, in April. Two fall dinners will be announced later this year.

This unique dinner will feature 18 different snacks over the course of two hours. Only 44 seats will be available per seating at 5:30 p.m., and 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale February 1, 2024, at www.maenam.ca.
Volume 2 with Bangkok’s Bo.lan: A Sensory Thai Experience

Songvisava and Jones visit Canada for the first time and join An on a multi-course Thai dining journey. Bo.lan is one of Thailand’s most esteemed restaurants, known for its commitment to sustainability, zero waste, and preserving Thailand’s culinary heritage. Bo.lan was featured in season five of Netflix’s Chef’s Table. 66 seats will be available throughout the evening. Guests can subscribe to Maenam’s newsletter at www.maenam.ca to be the first in line to purchase tickets.
Beverage pairings for both dinners are currently being curated by wine director Kurtis Kolt and bar manager Tony Limchai. Guests can expect a variety of Kolt’s favourite unique and thoughtful terroir-driven wines from local producers, as well as creative cocktails, and non-alcoholic pairings.
