Bangkok Restaurants

International restaurants in Bangkok

  1. A

    Kuppa

    For Bangkok’s ladies who lunch, Kuppa is something of a second home. Resembling an expansive living room, this place fancies itself as a ‘tea and coffee trader’ and the coffee is truly among the best in town. Thankfully the eats are just as good, in particular the spot-on Western-style pastries and sweets. Kuppa is located a long walk down Soi 16; to find it, simply look for the Mercedes-laden car park peopled with loitering chauffeurs.

    Greyhound Café

    Conspicuous consumption is part of many Bangkok menus, but Greyhound still sets the pace. You could crawl into the techno soundtrack of the sleek dining room, but everyone knows that the best seats are along the main pedestrian hallway – the better to be seen. Despite the emphasis on style, the menu is diverse, the food decent, and it’s good value to boot.

    Eat Me Restaurant

    A little bit of Sydney has blossomed here off Th Silom, helping to give Bangkok more cosmo cred. Chic, minimalist decor is accessorised by rotating art exhibits supplied by H Gallery, the city’s leading contemporary gallery. And lest we forget, the food is creative and modern, spanning the globe from pumpkin risotto to tuna tartare.

    La Villa

    This new mini-mall features a handsome selection of eateries, including a branch of Greyhound Café, several Japanese restaurants, and delicious domestic ice cream at the local chain, iberry. Homesick foreigners will also appreciate the large branch of Villa, which carries an impressive variety of imported foodstuffs.

    Spring

    The expansive lawn of this smartly reconverted ’70s-era house is probably the only chance you’ll ever have to witness Bangkok’s fair and beautiful willingly exposing themselves to the elements. The pan-Asian cuisine can be hit and miss, but the desserts, with names like Better Than Sex, are as almost good as they sound.

    Tida Esarn

    Tida Esarn sells country-style Thai food in a decidedly urban setting. Foreigners provide the bulk of the restaurant’s customers, but to its benefit, the kitchen still insists on serving full-flavoured Isan-style dishes such as súp nòr mái, a tart salad of shredded bamboo.

    The Deck

    The Deck’s claim to fame is its commanding views over Wat Arun, but the restaurant’s short but diverse menu, ranging from duck confit to Thai-style pomelo salad, sweetens the pot. Consider arriving early for a sunset drink in Amorosa, the hotel’s rooftop bar.

    AH!

    The Atlanta Hotel’s delightful vintage diner is one of the few places that excels both in atmosphere and cuisine. Delve back into 1950s-era ‘continental’ dishes, such as Hungarian goulash or wiener schnitzel, or acclaimed vegetarian Thai.
