Any restaurant where the waiter will wade through a knee deep puddle in a raging thunder storm just to bring us our tom kha gai can’t be all bad. (read more...)
New retro-inspired boutique hotel, 72 Ekamai brings a nostalgic touch to their poolside eatery. Decorated with simple alfresco vibe with low tables and couches surrounding the pool, they also have an indoor room on offer. Thai and Western are served. The chef previously worked in Pomodoro’s kitchen, and the food here takes on a similar simplistic style.
Draped in retro 60s-70s style, this small and airy restaurant takes pride in its black ink spaghetti, made from scratch with white pasta, white wine, herbs and fresh squid ink. Other homemade Italian dishes such as seafood lasagna and pizza carbonara come highly recommended.
At this compact restaurant, you can have Japanese cuisine while admiring the artworks of well-known local artist Kongpat Sakdapitak. The must-haves are beef teppanyaki and DIY okonomiyaki (Japanese “pizza”).
Edogin rolls out 12 good-value JApanese lunch sets with prices ranging from B300-550. While a list of tempura, udon and grilled saba is not likely to surprise you, the sashimi here is dependably fresh and the service is warm and efficient.
The interior decor-a generic South American affair of stenciled red-earth tiles and white washed walls---screams margaritas-anfajitas fest. The elegaant table setting sets the right mood, and the courteous welcoming staff lifts the ambiance. Expect excellent food and service and a price that rivals hotels anywhere.
Made of wood and decked out with artifacts and big triangle chairs, the place oozes Thai charm. The menu is a mix of Thai dishes and western snacks, but each recipe is served in a small pinto with Thai flair.
This stylish, modest-sized “grill bar” has some unusual items like horse and whale on offer to please daring carnivorous diners. If you can’t afford the pricey imported Wagyu beef, local Thai-French tenderloin never fails to please. Two thumbs up for the quality of the food.
Set in a lovely white house, the famous Singaporean restaurant treats you to its tasty European fare with Asian accents. A chef is imported from its original outlet in the Merlion Land to guarantee Bangkok fans can enjoy the same standards of cuisine. Also irresistible is its selection of desserts.Those with tight budgets should opt for its affordable lunch sets.
Entering Enchant in the evening may give you goosebumps. The place breathes romance. The dark wooden furniture, candlelight, and flowers offer the impression that a proposal may be in the air. However, do not wait for (pseudo) romantic occasions to enjoy its decent priced delicatessen.
Strictly speaking, "enoteca" maens "place of wine," and over the years it has come to be understood as a casual wine bar, similar to a Spanish tapas bar or mezze bar in Greece or Turkey.
Good food (all the recognizable favorites), Asian ambiance (a little Thai silkand a lot of air-con) and friendly service are some of the virtues of this cute eateryin the upmarket Grand Hyatt Erawan. More than just being a tea room, they also have delicious main courses worth trying.
The buzz: One of Ekkamai’s favorite drinking spots, Escobar always has been the sweet escape for suffocating clubbers from Nang Len—until it submerged into the sounds of renovation a few months back. Now it’s back and ready to satisfy its fans with an interior face-lift and a few tweaks in the DJ station.
This hip hop haven lives on the fourth floor of the bar-heavy building. Wooden floors, white bed-like sofas and mini tables with square leather chairs make Escudo a stylish hang out with funky décor. This place is sardine-packed on weekends, so make sure you reserve a table and come before 8pm. The stairs lead to the fifth floor where an in-house DJ plays house and electro music.
This is only a five-minute walk inland from Pohpuck, so if you need to do more serious shopping, come here. Crowded, tight aisles are packed, filled with lots of treats. Not really a place for mock meats, but the big draw is their non-dairy ice cream, and lots of jay veggie snack chips.
