Restaurants in Bangkok

Five worth booking ahead, from a noodle shop with a queue to a dining room with a view.

  1. Tha Tien, facing Wat Arun

    Rongros

    Thai cooking on a riverside terrace looking straight at Wat Arun. Book the terrace or it is not the same restaurant.

  2. Near Chulalongkorn University

    Jeh O Chula

    A shophouse famous for its tom yum instant-noodle bowl. Opens in the evening, queues start before that, and you take a ticket.

  3. Siam Kempinski, Siam

    Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin

    Thai cooking put through a Nordic tasting-menu technique. A long, seated evening rather than a meal.

  4. Phra Nakhon

    The Island Bangkok

    In the old town, within walking distance of Wat Pho and the Grand Palace — a useful dinner after a day of temples.

  5. lebua at State Tower, Silom

    Mezzaluna

    A high floor of the tower, with a dress code and a tasting menu. The rooftop bar above it is a separate visit.
