About: Avani Riverside Hotel's 26th-floor rooftop restaurant has transformed into the third global outpost of Portuguese celebrity chef Olivier Da Costa's Seen Restaurant and Bar, which can also be found in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Lisbon, Portugal. The menu is devised by chef Da Costa himself, and his fresh and exciting take is not something you always associate with Bangkok’s many rooftop bars. There’s no beating the view, either.

About: The go-to for authentic Naples-style pizza, made to stringent Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana rules. Starring a tangy and pillow-soft crust, only slightly chewy with charred bits from the blazing hot oven, even the simplest pies, like the Marinara with its perfectly acidic San Marzano tomato sauce, shine—though you’d be remiss not to feast on the range of pastas and fine meats in this warm but well-polished space.

About: US restaurant chain 25 Degrees is a self-described “bordello meets burger bar.” They also say everything here is made from scratch, including the homemade buns. Burgundy wallpaper, iconic black and white photos, and a giant checkerboard mirror make for a suitably upgraded diner setting. The burgers, too, are upscale. The most popular order is Number One, with caramelized onion, bacon, arugula, Prelibato gorgonzola and thousand island dressing.

Deal! Please note that this menu is for TWO people. And drinks are included!

About: If you’re looking for some tangy small plates that aren’t your usual tapas, a 33rd-story view and stiff Pisco sours, Above Eleven hits the spot. The Japanese-Peruvian menu has a lot of raw seafood appetizers, some yakitori skewers, over a dozen maki options (plus some sushi) and some heartier mains. Portions are generous, too. Book a nice table if you can, the views are great. The food is original, the produce is quality, and the prices are decent compared to many much less inspired five-star hotel rooftops.
