Huus Plate, from the famous cafe Huus of Bread, recently opened on Sukhumvit 60. With the exposed brick and vintage color scheme, the more than 100-year-old house gives off a homie and vintage atmosphere with three levels and each room offering seating space. The menu is a blend of Asian and Western comfort food, featuring everything from a hearty breakfast selection to pasta, freshly baked goods, and desserts. We recommend trying the Huus super corn cheese toast that’s packed with corn cream cheese filling and paired with corn puree. Another option is the Huus signature breakfast, which gives you options of bread, eggs, and sausage from Sloane’s.  

 

Matcha fans, this one’s for you. Ren Cafe and Goods is the newly opened specialty matcha shop in Charoenkrung serving both drinks and desserts. Their matcha latte (ranging from B110-190) contains ceremonial-grade matcha powder where you can choose from three different types of matcha: ren, mizumi, and yama. For a twist, try their innovative matcha drinks with fruits and chocolates, and don’t forget to pair it with their homemade matcha tiramisu or strawberry shortcake dessert. The second floor of the cafe is complete with sofas and trees, providing a nice little sanctuary to relax and sip your matcha. 

 

What started as an online cookie shop has finally upgraded to a brick-and-mortar store that feels like a little slice of South Korea. If it is your first time, try the crowd-favorite creme latte (B115), a cold latte topped with thick, soft whipped cream. Don’t forget to treat yourself to the fudge chocolate mousse (B160) or their freshly baked cookies (dark chocolate walnut, white choc cranberry, or brown butter, B85). The interior here is decorated with soft tones and white and orange exposed brick, which creates a contrast with the naked plasterwork to give off an industrial vibe. 

 

 

Smith and Co is an American-Italian restaurant that focuses on burgers and pasta, but with a twist: each dish comes with an unusual presentation. The atmosphere here is decorated with American diner-style furniture and color schemes, and the burger buns and pasta are made fresh daily. We recommend the truffle mushroom burger (B319), which is drenched in a truffle mushroom sauce, or try their sweet and smokey bacon beef burger with hash browns and sweet potato fries (B457). For Italian dishes, we recommend the carbonara (B239) with fresh guanciale and a raw egg to make it extra creamy. 

 

 

Holiday Pastry has opened a new branch at Central World with a “Dining Room” concept, flouting Wes Anderson vibes with its sunshine yellow color scheme, archways, and large-scale lighting. They serve an all-day hearty brunch and a dessert menu, like the New York spicy rigatoni vodka (B320) which seems to be all the craze lately (and  for good reason). There’s also the grilled crispy pork risotto topped with sweet and sour apple glaze sauce (B420). But save some room for dessert and try their No.1 Signature Pancake or the Best French Toast Ever,  the names speak for itself.

Highlights from the menu include a melon and mint-infused watermelon salad (B340) which is a unique twist on a Thai salad, brown rice noodles with gyoza veggie soup (B280) which is a comforting dish with brown rice vermicelli vegetarian gyoza in a goji berry-infused broth, shiitake mushrooms, and zesty lime chili sauce. After your meal, head to the bar for a curated selection of craft cocktails, fine wines, premium cognacs, and Japanese whiskies. 

 

The Aglio Store, established in 2021 as a famous sauce brand, opened as part of the Degree Square Project. The restaurant boasts a Nordic-inspired interior with a minimalist design, featuring warm white tones and light brown wood accents. Their specialty is Neapolitan-style pizza, known for its soft, fluffy dough compared to the Roman-style counterpart. What makes the restaurant unique are its unconventional toppings. For instance, the mentaiko ikura pizza (B450) combines Japanese flavors with salt-cured roe of Alaskan pollock, cream, butter, and parmesan, resulting in a burst of umami. If you prefer a creamier white base, consider the carbonara pizza (B380), or for vegetarians, the supreme truffle champignon (B390)
