This semi-chef’s table is turning heads with its feel-good food and daily-changing menus. Chef-slash-owner Kunanun Lertpisikul offers something between a Michelin-caliber meal and wine bar fare. On the menu might be fresh Dover sole, Rangers Valley ribeye, or diver scallops from Norway. Currently, you can try grilled shiitake with coffee dashi and pink peppercorn (B350); hanger steak with gorgonzola (B950); and risotto alla Milanese with bone marrow (B650). All the dishes include one or more smoky elements—even the signature flatbreads, which include smoked artichokes and taro in the dough. As far as drinks go, wine is the way to go, and it’s bottles-only for now, with plans to change to by the glass. Eventually, the space plans to stay open late night with a snack menu offering dishes like cereal-coated fried chicken and curry ramen, too.

 

 

 

Bo.lan is back after a tumultuous year. The restaurant has re-emerged with a distinctive tasting menu called The Never Ending Amuse Bouche. A kaleidoscope of thought-provoking bites take diners across Thailand as well as the evolution of the now 12-year-old restaurant. You can choose between the five-flight (B1,200/15 bites) or eight-flight menu (B1,800/24 bites), both of which feature regional flavors and are categorized according to cooking technique and how people in Thailand eat. Bites include steamed red curry with fish, minced pork, and crab; a Thai-style cupcake (khanom krok) with crab curry, green curry wafer, and longan; a Southern rice salad with fermented fish sauce; and an Akha-inspired larb. Only available until mid-April.

 

 

 

Run by the folks behind Cholo’s, Miss Fish is a brightly colored space serving up Aussie-inspired seafood fare. Go for the BFF (B250), loaded with deep-fried cod, pickles, tomato, onion, and cheddar on a homemade potato bun; the Miss Fish Royale (B250), featuring fried cod, shredded iceberg lettuce, and a mountain of their signature tartare sauce, also on a potato bun; or the classic fish and chips (B200 dory/B290 cod). Rice bowls, meanwhile, offer a healthy alternative for dine-in or takeaway. Choose from salmon (B350) or tuna (B390), with options like the Green Goddess, which packs in greens like broccoli rabe, peas, guacamole, brussels sprouts, pea sprouts, and yogurt-cucumber dill dressing on brown rice. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Set sail on the Sirimahannop, the Marriott group’s boat dining experience stationed on the river in front of Asiatique. Aboard the three-deck ship replica of an old Royal Thai Navy ship, kitted out with an outdoor lounge, private dining room dubbed the Bridge, and rum bar hidden below deck, guests enjoy menus that reflect its globetrotting past. Think dishes like smoked pepper mackerel served with hardtack biscuits and Scandinavian horseradish sauce (B270), and fish sliders with Danish remoulade and homemade dill gherkins (B160). Sundowners here come in the form of cocktails like the Tamarind (B380), a mix of Caorunn gin, curacao liqueur, clarified tamarind, beer syrup, and foam.
