Indigo
A notch above in price and décor, Indigo borders on stuffy. But it has its own butcher shop across the street, Gargantua, making its meats an absolute must-try. Go for lunch, when the deals make it a lot more affordable. 6 Convent Rd., 02-235-3268. Open daily 11:30-midnight
Oskar Bistro
With pizzas and skewers on its menu, Oskar may not look all that French. But the heavenly duck parmentier and solid wine list betray the chef’s Gallic origins. 24 Sukhumvit Soi 11, 02-255-3377. Open daily 5pm-2am. www.oskar-bistro.com
Chez Papé
The décor is trying a bit too hard to be tres Francais, but the food is definitely the real deal. 1/28-29 Sukhumvit Soi 11, 02-255-2492. Open daily 5pm-midnight. www.chezpape.com
Le Petit Zinc
A good-looking art nouveau space with regular promos and aperitif drink deals. 110/1 Sukhumvit Soi 23, 02-259-3033. Open daily 11:30-3pm; 6pm-midnight
Le Bouchon
Bangkok’s granddaddy of bistros is still favored by the Gallic expats in Silom, particularly for its delicious steak tartare. 37/17 Patpong Soi 2, 02-234-9109. Open Mon-Sat noon-3pm; 6:30-11pm
JP French Restaurant
A recent opening, JP is doing wonderfully well-executed bistro food in a small, cozy setting. Sukhumvit Soi 31, 02-258-4247. Open Mon-Sat 11:30am-2:30pm; 6:30-11pm
Cafe Tartine
When it comes to sandwiches and pastries, this is our favorite spot. For a Sunday morning brunch, you better book ahead. Athenee Residence, 65/2 Witthayu (Wireless) Rd., 02-168-5464. Open daily 8am-8pm
