From electrifying stages with BLACKPINK to gracing Met Gala carpets as a Louis Vuitton ambassador—and now starring in HBO’s The White Lotus—LISA is proving there’s nothing she can’t do. Lisa’ favorite Michelin restaurants might just be the next viral sensation, if her recent hints about food are any indication.
On her Tyla-assisted track “When I’m with You” from the record-breaking album Alter Ego, LISA raps, “Dealin’, dealin’ with a certified winner. MICHELIN Star’s how I like my dinner.” And she means it. Raised in Thailand by a chef, LISA has long had a love for good food—and rumour has it she even dreams of opening her own Thai restaurant someday.
While we wait for that restaurant debut, LISA’s been eating her way around the globe—and her go-to spots just happen to be some of the most coveted MICHELIN-rated restaurants and hotels in the world. From Bangkok’s street food legends to haute cuisine in Paris, here’s where LISA has been dining, staying, and serving serious taste (literally).
NYC favorites: Thai street eats and Upper East Side luxe
Pranakhon (Bib Gourmand)
📍 New York, NY
Bangkok meets Manhattan at Pranakhon, a bustling Thai street food restaurant in the East Village. LISA’s love for authentic Thai flavours shines here—with vibrant dishes like hor mok hoy mang phu (mussels with curry custard) and roti stuffed with minced chicken stealing the spotlight.
Chalong
📍 New York, NY
Over in Hell’s Kitchen, Chalong offers Southern Thai small plates in a breezy space accented with rattan and wood. Don’t skip the grilled coconut curry shrimp or the must-try mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream. It’s casual, delicious, and perfect for a night out post-soundcheck or pre-premiere.
The Mark Hotel (Two MICHELIN Keys)
📍 New York, NY
Of course, LISA doesn’t just dine like a queen—she checks in like one too. She famously left The Mark for the Met Gala, and it’s not hard to see why. The chic Jacques Grange-designed interiors, Jean-Georges restaurant, and quiet elegance make it a MICHELIN Key favorite for A-listers and discerning travellers alike.
Hawaiian escape: peace, privacy, and prestige
The Kahala Hotel & Resort
📍 Honolulu, HI
Forget Waikiki crowds—LISA opts for The Kahala, a serene beachfront resort with dolphins in the lagoon and four fine dining restaurants. A favorite of presidents and pop royalty alike, it’s the definition of a hidden gem.
Back home in Thailand: from White Lotus to street food royalty
Jay Fai (One MICHELIN Star)
📍 Bangkok, Thailand
The goggles-wearing legend herself. LISA joined Jay Fai in celebrating the street food icon’s 7th MICHELIN Star. Her signature crispy crab omelette is famous worldwide, and the stir-fried noodles are just as craveable.
Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui
📍 Koh Samui, Thailand
Where do fictional hotel employees go after wrapping up a long shoot? To the same resort where they worked—if you’re LISA, that is. She stars as Mook in The White Lotus season 3, filmed on location at this stunning Four Seasons perched on a private beach. Each villa comes with an infinity pool and a view so good, even a global superstar might stop scrolling for a second.
Parisian indulgence: haute cuisine and high fashion
Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen (Three MICHELIN Stars)
📍 Paris, France
Nothing says culinary royalty quite like Alléno Paris. Chef Yannick Alléno’s legendary sauces and technically dazzling dishes are the kind of edible art that turns a meal into a memory. It’s no wonder LISA—always dressed to impress—has a seat at this Parisian table.
Ritz Paris Hotel (Three MICHELIN Keys)
📍 Paris, France
Finally, there’s no place like the Ritz. It’s the Parisian icon where LISA rests her Louis Vuitton bag and likely drafts her next big idea. With tulip bedside lamps, Escoffier’s legacy in the kitchen, and a guestbook filled with legends, the Ritz is a natural fit for a superstar with a taste for timeless glamour.
LISA’s next course?
Between viral bars about MICHELIN stars and on-screen cameos as resort staff, it’s clear LISA’s connection to the hospitality world runs deep. Could a Thai fine-dining concept from LISA herself be next? We wouldn’t be surprised if she traded in her mic for a chef’s knife—even just for a night.
One thing’s for sure: when it comes to taste—on and off the plate—LISA’s in a league of her own.
