R-Haan
Seasonal menus of refined Thai dishes made with locally sourced ingredients: that’s the name of the game here, as made evident by the name R-Haan which translates loosely to “sustenance” or “food” in Thai. Chef Chumpol Jangrai’s spacious, regally decorated restaurant looks across the country for culinary inspiration, folding goat meat from Thung Kru district, Samut Prakan Province. River prawns from Bang Phrae disctrict, Ratchaburi Province. It’s a great way to taste Thailand’s bounty. The restaurant was one of the earliest venues in Thailand to earn a second Michelin star, making Chef Chumpol one of the city’s most recognizable faces in fine-dining in the process. The concept of the menu follows an old Thai proverb, “nai nam mee pla, nai na mee kao” (where water flows, fish aboud; where fields lie, rice thrives).
131, Sukhumvit Soi 53, 095-141-5524. Open daily 6-11pm

Mezzaluna
Mezzaluna, Chef Ryuki Kawasaki's world-class fine-dining flagship at lebua hotel, has held two Michelin stars for seven years in a row — a level of consistency unheard of in Bangkok. The restaurant is known for its intricate combination of Japanese ingredients and French cooking techniques, which can be seen in dishes like the Grilled Aori Ika (Bigfin Reef Squid, Zucchini Blossom, Mussels, and Saffron Hollandaise) as part of the venue's current summer tasting menu. With a picturesque view of the Chao Phraya River from the 65th floor of the luxury Lebua hotel, floor-to-ceiling glass, and spiral chandeliers, Mezzaluna never fails to deliver a memorable experience and has proven to be one of the highest-performing and most consistent fine-dining restaurants of the past decade.

Gaa
Chef Garima Arora is a star on Bangkok’s dining scene (even more so after notching her second Michelin star in 2023), and her food is built on a mix of heritage cuisine and bold, innovative dishes. Found at an unforgettable 60-year-old Thonglor baan ruen-style building, the restaurant is heavy on making bold, ingredient-forward decisions that set the standard for modern Indian fine dining in Bangkok. Whether you’re going in for the tasting menu or stopping in at the lounge for a la carte, the food here steers hard into cutting-edge, science-based gastronomy, but there are timeless Indian flavors in every dish.
46, Sukhumvit Soi 53, 063-987-4747. Open Mon-Fri 5:30pm-11pm; Sat-Sun noon-2:30pm; 8:30pm-11pm

Côte by Mauro Colagreco
Only on the city’s dining scene since 2020, the eponymous Italian-Argentine chef Mauro Colagreco and team built the lush space inside Capella Bangkok on the river to become one of the city’s most talked about restaurants. Helmed by chef Davide Garavaglia and crew, Côte will be on Bangkok fine-dining lists for years to come. On the menu, diners find a host of signature dishes made from seasonal produce—so each visit is different. At Côte, everything starts with the ingredients—fresh and local where it’s needed, careful and chic where it matters. When Capella blew into town, it brought fresh life into the city’s riverside dining scene, and Côte’s perch atop the hotel is a big reason why.
2/F, Capella Bangkok, 300/2, Charoenkrung Rd., 2-098-3818. Open Wed-Sun noon-2pm, 6-10pm
| Get a complimentary selected mocktail valued THB 300 when spending THB 4,500 or more /sales slip |
Restaurant POTONG
This 120-year-old, five-story shophouse in lively Sampeng represents the heritage of a five-generation Thai-Chinese family and their historic medicinal shop. Glass jars with fermenting ingredients line the shelves on the way to a wooden elevator originally used by Chef Pitchaya "Pam" Utarntham's family to transport herbs to upstairs. Each floor of the shophouse has a story to tell. Pam caters to all five senses in her 20-course dinner, from the splashy 14-day five-spice-aged duck to the crab curry with a mud crab roe emulsion—both seen on Netflix’s recent Chef’s Uncut miniseries.
422, Vanich 1 Rd., Samphanthawong, 082-979-3950. Open Thu-Tue 4:30-11pm
| Get a complimentary beverage valued THB 380++ when ordering POTONG Tasting menu or Dinner course menu |
Cadence by Dan Bark
At Cadence, chef Dan Bark treats fine dining like music, paying special attention to the rhythm of his service and the ebbs and flows of the experience. Welcome martinis lead to bold bites that fuse his Korean-American background with his experience overseas, a carefully curated selection of textures, ingredients, and borderless flavors that burst with artful presentation. Want to jazz up the experience? Try the cocktail pairing, which includes a range of seven different cocktails — each designed specifically for the dishes that they are paired with. Bark has been a fixture on the city’s dining scene for ages, and Cadence is his pinnacle achievement.

Samrub Samrub Thai
Headed by Prin Polsuk, formerly Nahm and Mandarin Oriental’s Sala Rim Naam, Samrub Samrub Thai is a place for people who want to take Thai food seriously. The space serves two rounds— and it’s not always easy to get a seat—at 5:30 and 8pm featuring a friendly atmosphere and new menus that keep diners coming back again and again. Attempts at elevated Thai food can often be a little stuffy, but this is a spot that doesn’t compromise on bold flavors and, occasionally, the spicy heat—not fine-dining heat, real heat. Here, you’ll find simple, unpretentious dishes that require a high degree of care and creativity.
39/11, Yommarat Alley, Saladaeng Rd. Open Tue-Sat 5:30-8pm

Le Du
Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn’s pride and joy, Le Du has played a pivotal role in putting modern Thai fine dining on the global map. With a focus on seasonality—Le Du translates to “seasons,” after all—the rotating tasting menus highlight Thailand’s agricultural bounty. But you’ll always find the signature khao kluk kapi, plump river prawns served atop organic brown rice mixed with aromatic shrimp paste. The restaurant also got a big makeover this year, including a massive ceiling installation that sees over 1,000 tiny glass tubes hoisted above the main dining area, as well as a darker, more open-plan layout.
399/3, Silom Soi 7, 092-919-9969. Open Mon-Sat 6-11pm
| Get a complimentary welcome drink Siam Sunrise valued THB 300 when spending via UOB Credit Card |
Inddee
Bangkok is no stranger to Indian fine dining and this spot in Langsuan caters to a whole new crowd with its focus on the ingredients and flavors that aren't afraid to get a little spicy. The fare comes from the mind of Head Chef Sachin Poojary and his team, and the tasting menu spans dishes from the Indian subcontinent, from Kerala to Rajasthan. Walk through the foggy, jungle-like atmosphere of the entrance, and look forward to region-specific ingredients and flavors––all while enjoying the smooth ambiance of this luxe century-old house. Storing 450 bottles, with over 100 wines available by the glass, the wine pairing curated by Head Sommelier Thanakorn "Jay" Bottorff features a broad and creative range of bottles.
68, 1 Soi Langsuan, 062-812-9696. Open daily 5:30-11:30

Chim by Siam Wisdom
Despite its discreet Dusit location, Chim by Siam Wisdom isn’t a secret anymore. After catching Bangkok food circles off-guard with its Michelin star in 2018, the restaurant is now firmly planted on the dining map, thanks to chef Thaninthorn “Noom” Chantrawan. His tasting menu, “kim han ta phu ree,” aims to showcase the complexity of Thai cooking, with attention given to the tiniest detail, especially the provenance of the ingredients. You will find regular menu hits drawn from ingredients on hand that day, like tui dua, a southern staple soup that takes the freshest seafood available and mixes it into a creamy coconut soup.
315, Ongkarak Soi 13 (Samsen Soi 28), 02-127-0470. Open daily 5-10pm
| Get 10% discount on food only when spending THB 1,500 or more /sales slip |
