Immerse yourself in the delightful ambiance of Checkmate Bar and Bistro.

Welcome, everyone! Today, Stop me found myself running errands near Asiatique, leading me to indulge in a delightful meal at Checkmate. Let's delve into the culinary experience and the captivating atmosphere.

Atmosphere

The establishment boasts a unique atmosphere, featuring a chessboard theme and warm yellow lighting that creates a relaxing ambiance. Live music further enhances the experience, making it an ideal spot for a casual hangout.

The restaurant displays its recommended dishes on a board at the front entrance. There are two types of menus available: one for food and one for drinks. The food menu features a variety of options, including steaks, seafood, and other dishes. As the establishment is a bar, it naturally focuses on providing a space for socializing and hanging out with friends. Accordingly, the alcoholic beverage selection is extensive and offers a wide range of choices.

Table Setting

We were seated at table number 30, a bar-front table with a beautiful and luxurious marble top. The table was set with plates, spoons, and forks for each person, and tissues were provided in a dispenser.

Australian Striploin Steak

This steak was incredibly tender. We ordered it well-done, but the meat was still juicy and not dry or tough. We loved the generous amount of marbling, making it perfect for those who enjoy meat with a bit of fat. The accompanying sauce was well-balanced, slightly salty, and complemented the steak perfectly.

The french fries were large and soft, but lacked saltiness. We weren't sure if they used little or no salt, so we opted to dip them in the steak sauce instead.

Tom Yum Fried Rice

This Tom Yum Fried Rice is truly exceptional. Firstly, it boasts all the essential ingredients of Tom Yum soup, including lemongrass, which I accidentally ate (haha). Secondly, it lacks any trace of spiciness.

The seafood, consisting of shrimp, squid, and clams, is incredibly fresh, with a delightful springy and crispy texture. The Tom Yum flavor is rich and intense. Just the sight of this dish upon arrival was enough to win me over, and the taste only deepened my admiration.
