Silom Restaurants
Where and What to Eat in Silom
Silom is home to countless local and international restaurants, caf-s, bistros, food stalls and food courts. Eat with the city's bourgeoisie at lofty rooftop restaurants like Sirocco or Breeze. Queue for fast-foods at the likes of Burger King and McDonalds. Or join the man-on-the-street, literally, by patronising one of Silom's delectable curbside food stalls.
In Soi Convent, directly opposite Soi 4, is an exciting mix of international cuisines such as French, Japanese, Mexican, Thai, English and Italian located right to next one another. Even traditional sleaze pit, Patpong, has its fair share of quality fare, including that served at French bistro Le Bouchon. See Thailand Tatler reviews for the area's best. Dotted along both sides of Silom Road are the usual mix of fast food chains and street food stalls. If you love Japanese food, go to Soi Thaniya for authentic Japanese food.
