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
For decades Le Normandie was synonymous with fine dining in the city. And although today’s Bangkok boasts a plethora of upmarket choices, Le Normandie has maintained its niche and is still the only place to go for a genuinely old-world ‘continental’ dining experience. A revolving cast of Michelin-starred guest chefs and some of the world’s most decadent ingredients keep up the standard, and appropriately formal attire (including jacket) is required.

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
Bangkok’s swankiest diners come to D’Sens, located in what looks like a control tower at the top of the Dusit Thani Hotel, for vibrant contemporary French cuisine as designated by the Michelin star–lauded brothers, Jacques and Laurent Pourcel. Gracious service and one of the best views of Bangkok round out the package.
