Our annual Top Tables Bangkok 2015 guide launched last night at an event that welcomed over 200 guests comprised of chefs, restaurateurs, food industry professionals and BK Magazine partners. This year, the guide’s ranking shows profound shifts in Bangkok’s dining scene over the past few months, with the arrival of world-famous chefs and growing recognition for our local talent.

Now in its sixth year, Top Tables has grown into Bangkok’s most trusted guide for discerning foodies. Top Tables is compiled by a panel of foodies, bloggers, journalists and F&B professionals. Voted by 24 judges, 109 restaurants have made it into the 2015 guide.

L'atelier de Joel Robuchon is number 1 in the Top 30, showing how excited Bangkok is about welcoming the man with the most Michelin stars in the world. In second position comes Gaggan, now globally recognized as one of the world’s most important chefs. In third position comes Le Du, which is just barely a year old and helmed by a 29-year-old Thai chef—a strong confirmation that our city’s foodies value local talent and have embraced creative Thai cuisine.
