French restaurants in Bangkok

  1. A

    Le Banyan

    Sukhumvit’s trendy diners demand change every six months: new menu, new décor, new chef, anything to chase away restaurant boredom. But for the monogamous eaters who value a stiff-lipped experience, this classy French restaurant proves its dinosaur wisdom with formal efficient service and traditional fare. A lush garden surrounds the charming house illuminated with candles and gleaming wine glasses. The house speciality is pressed duck, but the seared foie gras steals the show.

    Le Bouchon

    Cast aside any preconceived notions of pretentious waiters and intimidating menus; this homely bistro in the middle of one of Bangkok’s more ‘colourful’ districts is a capable and fun introduction to French cooking. Choose your dishes from the blackboard menu toted around by cheery waiting staff, but it’d be a shame to miss the garlicky frogs’ legs or the savoury foie gras pâté.

    Le Normandie

    As the menu, which boasts an entire foie gras section, suggests, this is classic French cuisine, and no fewer than 20 three-starred Michelin chefs have helped to prepare it over the years. Dress appropriately.

    Crêpes & Co

    Want to pretend you’re part of Bangkok’s expat community? This cute cottage crêperie is a good place to start. The homely setting and excellent service, not to mention a menu that offers much more than the restaurant’s name suggests, keep the desperate housewives of Bangkok’s diplomatic corps coming back again and again.

    D'Sens

    Arguably Bangkok's best upscale fa·ràng (foreign) fine-dining restaurant, D'Sens is perched like an air traffic control tower atop the Dusit Thani hotel. A venture of French wonder-twins Laurent and Jacques Pourcel, creators of the Michelin-starred Le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier, France, the menu draws from the traditions of the south of France, relying mainly on high-quality French imports for its ingredients.
