Bangkok Best Restaurants

The readers of the Thailand Tatler are their best resource and once a year they make the most of that fact when they put together their guide to the city's best restaurants, for it is readers who guide them in compiling the list of establishments to be included within its covers.

Based on the annual Thailand Tatler's customer questionnaire, a number of restaurants are nominated for inclusion in each year's guide, with a handful of finalists selected for review by an expert panel of gourmands. These reviewers and contributors come from various areas of expertise, but all have two things in common: they draw upon a deep passion for food and wine, and they have no professional connection to any of the establishments reviewed.

Members of the experienced panel of reviewers dine in each of the restaurants, assessing quality of the food, wine, service and price. As is Tatler's usual practice, reviewers identified themselves only at the end of the meal, to ensure no special treatment.
