Baan Kanitha

If you want to experience traditional Thai cuisine at its most diverse, in a traditional setting then Baan Kanitha should be high up on your agenda. The grand converted Thai house makes for an unbelievably romantic and interesting setting, with its antique furniture and numerous paintings.

The seafood here is definitely something to savor, particularly the soft shell crab in tamarind sauce and grilled cotton fish. You should expect to pay a bit more than you usually might for your average Thai meal but it’s worth it, especially having the opportunity to dine in such an authentic setting it is impossible not to be bowled over by the venues inherent charm.

Blue Elephant

This well-known chain of Thai restaurants already had branches in Europe and the Middle East before opening a venue in Bangkok. You might know the Blue Elephant for being one of Bangkok’s most famous cooking schools, where during the day you can learn the secrets of the spectacular dishes you savor during the evening. Set within a gorgeous colonial home, the food featured on the menu is reminiscent of ‘Royal Thai Cuisine’ sealing the restaurant a place on the ‘must-eat list’ for Thai culinary enthusiasts.

Classic dishes we recommend include the larb salmon – a spicy tartare with fresh Thai herbs that complement the fish very well. To carry on that refreshing feeling, choose wing bean and pomelo salad or rock lobster with green apple. Read More...

Capsicum

Facing a tropical garden, this restaurant is an ideal place to enjoy a romantic lunch or dinner. At the helm is native French master chef Patrick Escribe, whose signature dishes delight your palate.

Just One

Well known for its seafood, Just One is a particular pleasure to dine at due to its outdoor setting in a courtyard, complete with a man-made lake and water cascading down its walls. The food here is incredibly reasonably priced. Dishes average from 80 to 100 baht each and, true to Thai form, rice is served in the shape of a teddy bear.  

We recommend getting a whole fish with chili sauce (seabass or king fish, known in Europe as dorada) and really huge river prawns, grilled with their own Just One sauce.
One of the great things about this restaurant is that guests have more than ample space in which to dine with friends and not be distracted by noise from other tables. In fact you almost feel as though you have the restaurant to yourself, although getting hold of a waiter can be something of a chore. Cocktails for just 100 baht are a good way to begin and end the evening. 

La Scala

Situated inside the Sukothai Hotel La Scala sways towards the upscale end of Bangkok dining where you can expect to pay western prices and more! Nevertheless, it is a beautiful restaurant with impeccable service and a menu that speaks for itself. Although it is pricey the Italian cuisine which changes seasonally is absolutely superb, especially the pizzas that are prepared in a traditional wood-fired oven.

Beyond pizzas you have all your typical Italian dishes each prepared with unique twists, tasting different from the typical Italian fare you might be expecting. 

Le Pre Grill

Relocated from its former location in Soi Lang Suan, Le Pre Grill continues to offer an authentic French cuisine in an intimate and charming ambiance. The restaurant's Master Chef, Alain Geistlich, flew directly from Le Pre Grill, Paris to take charge in food preparation to ensure consistency in the taste of finest authentic French cuisine that allow you to indulge yourself, without having to travel across continents. Many exquisite signature dishes include 'crepe de saumon' (pancake salmon), 'boeuf bourguignon' (stew beef) and 'blanc manger' (vanilla cream). A carefully chosen wine list is also available to compliment the fine dining experience.

The Lido

One of Bangkok’s best kept secrets on the international dining scene, the Lido has a legion of loyal customers who have been coming for years to eat the thin-crust pizzas and pasta based dishes. Sweet and simple the restaurant is decked out in red checkered table cloths, while the walls are laden with mementoes of Italy. Here we have a little slice of Italy in Bangkok.

Opus Wine Bar

With a walk-in wine cellar containing some 400 labels and an elegant setting – a two-storey restored Thai villa – Opus Wine Bar is ideal for enjoying a sumptuous Italian wining and dining experience. Matched with the classic ambience is the menu of traditional Italian with a contemporary flair, from tapas and antipasti dishes to homemade pasta and imported meat and fish grilled to perfection. The extensive wine collection covers all regions of Italy and French Champagnes, while the Cigar Lounge features a large selection of Cuban cigars and fine spirits.

Pandanus

Popular with Bangkok’s high-so set, you should expect a trendy crowd of twenty something’s here. The striking interiors offer an eclectic atmosphere, blending contemporary lines and classic furniture pieces. The menu is predominantly Thai with exciting Italian fare designed to showcase the chef’s culinary creativity. Leave some room for desserts, before heading upstairs to the glitzy bar for a chilled out evening and live DJ mixes.

You can dine on either one of the floors or, outside on the polished terrace. With excellent service, this cosy eatery is ideal for impressing your date.

Patara

Elegant and popular with local office types for group parties. Some interesting cross cultural combinations like rack of lamb with chilli sauce, tuna with lime and lemongrass vinaigrette in addition to the more traditional favourites.

The Secret Garden

Reminiscent of an English tea-room, the Secret Garden is both charming in choice of interior and culinary character. The menu is comprised of French inspired sweets and traditional Thai treats including fresh fish dishes and delicious chicken wrapped in pandan leaves. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, smokers are well catered to and the heat-shy can rest assured that a well air conditioned inside, waits.

The dress code is informal and the staff both attentive and pleasant. Worth visiting if you want to experience traditional food in an unusual setting.

Trajai Steak House

A popular choice with Bangkok expats, the Trajai Steak House features a meat and fish based menu, with everything from salmon, dory fish and ostrich to New Zealand pork chops available. Other than steaks there is a great selection of salads and some Thai classics including Tom Yum and green curry. What really attracts much of its custom is the cheap wine, which is something of a rarity in Bangkok.

The interior is eclectic to say the least with umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and palm trees decked out in fairy lights, you get the feeling this could only be in Thailand. What really stands out about Trajai is the excellent wait staff, who anticipate your every need.

Vertigo

If you’re after world-class dining when in Bangkok, step 61 floors up to Vertigo where the endless panorama is enough to distract you from the food, although it’s not as though you’d want to be. The superb cuisine on offer comprises Pan-Asia and international treats catering to a global clientele while still carrying accents of Thailand. Before dinner the adjacent Moon Bar is the perfect pre-dinner drink venue to enjoy a cocktail before settling down for a breezy moon-lit feast.

The menu features culinary wonders including chilled green mango soup and broiled maine lobster in chardonnay sauce. For dessert we recommend a sampling plate, essential for those who want to taste everything on offer.
