Elegant French restaurant Reflexions in Bangkok
Reflexions
Elegant but edgy, with its raw black and white photography of Bangkok, Reflexions is authentic French food without the stuffiness. One look at the handsome, young Thibault Chiumenti will tell you this is not stodgy French food. Still, Chiumenti cooks with an eye for tradition and bold flavors,...

Pasta & Chopsticks by Brown Eyes
While searching for an eclectic restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, we recently happened upon this Japanese-Italian eatery. Starting the meal off, we ordered the rucola salad (rucola, tomatoes, smoked bacon and Parmesan cheese) to share. The dish wasn’t that bad—the presentation and...

Pathum Cake
This petite white-and-blue restaurant has been a favorite for more than thirty years. Get there early (around 9am) to get fresh baked pastries like eclairs, breads and pies. Their single-dish food, like those phad krapao, is also good too.

Nobu
Not to be mistaken for the chain, this Nobu specializes in food from Osaka, where the southern dishes are tastier and spicier. It is popular among expats for its fresh sashimi and Japanese fusions. Recommended dishes include the Enoki butter and Sukiyaki. There are over 30 lunch sets all in the...

Orchid Lounge
Orchid Lounge
Holiday Inn Silom Bangkok, 981 Silom Rd., 02-238-4300. Usually, the snacks served for tea are always heavy on the sweet side, but not at Orchid Lounge. While the view here can’t compete with riverside hotels, Orchid Lounge is a good option for those who are looking for a hearty afternoon high...

Coffee Roasting
Besides the minimalist décor—all raw cement and wooden accents—we’re even more impressed that Pla Dib is now all the rage for coffee. Adopting all the third wave principles, they even do fresh roasting here, too. The selection is quite similar to other specialty cafés. Their drip...

The elegant establishment overlooking the Chao Phraya River offers one of the best dim sum experiences in town. The food is authentic Cantonese fare, while the service is knowledgeable and courteous. There’s even a cool display of tea on the counter and specially-trained staff so you can have...

Mr. Jones' Orphanage
This quirky pastry venue combines elements of country kitchen, Catholic church and Santa’s workshop. The focus is firmly on baked sweets, including the intriguingly named Chocky Mud Pie and Custard Cow’s Poo.

Elefin
This charming Thai café is all about local beans, serving only 100% Arabica sourced from Chiang Rai, which they roast themselves right here in the café. The coffee menu is short as they brew only from an espresso machine, but you can still enjoy a classic cup of coffee (B80). There’s also a...
