About Blue Elephant Group
The Blue Elephant, which was founded in 1980 by Nooror Somany Steppe and her husband Karl Steppe with support from Thai partners, is highly regarded by Thai and international food connoisseurs. Since then, Chef Nooror, through the Blue Elephant group, has played a significant role in popularizing Thai food and culture around the world.
The Group now has 11 restaurants located in many of the world’s major cities. Apart from Bangkok and Phuket, where the restaurant also has cooking schools, the Blue Elephant can be found in London, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Lyon, Dubai, Bahrain, Malta, and Jakarta. The Group also produces and exports Thai sauces, curry pastes and powder to over 20 countries around the world.
Chef Nooror’s passion for Thai cooking was inspired by her Thai mother, who taught her the culinary art along with her secret recipes at an early age, enabling her to uniquely combine Thai and local ingredients in the countries where the Blue Elephant restaurants are located. Apart from her mother, Chef Nooror’s culinary skills were also enhanced through her food guru, Ajarn Sisamon Kongphan.
Raw ingredients and fresh produce from the Royal Project are used whenever possible in all Blue Elephant dishes.
