Coffee-lovers from across the city seek out Red Diamond Cafe (733 Pradit Manutham Rd., 065-893-6287) for its hi-tech brewing methods and house blends like Sex Bomb (B140) and Dirty Coffee (B140). Artisan Cafe’s (33 Nak Niwat Rd., 02-102-6388) greenhouse location is just the place to step up your Instagram game with an espresso (B70) before heading to Cafe Reverie (23/1 Soi Rongrian Phet Thanom, 02-932-9388) for the French-pastries like Peter Pandan (B165) and Almond Dulce (B140).

Along Nak Niwat Road you’ll find the red door of Eat Lovers (85 Nak Niwat Rd., 099-198-9929), dedicated to Thai dishes like Phitsanulok dried spicy soup with pork ribs (B168) and Thai panang curry with pork and lychee (B168). PAA.MAA House (89 Lat Phrao Soi 71, 098-242-4789) takes a more fusion route with dishes like stir-fried shrimp and garlic with red-hot chili dip (B189). Butcher Beef and Beer (Nak Niwat Soi 16, 098-263-7700) is where the local craft beer geeks hang, chugging on Delirium Tremens (B250) and enjoying steaks from just B600. For special occasions, The Older Chef (14, Lat Phrao 71,  094-479-5935) serves possibly Bangkok’s cheapest omakase at B1,599.
