This Bangkok restaurant is one of the 50 best in the world according to Monocle magazine
The list rewards "consistently good" restaurants without the "novelty and pretentiousness."

London-born global affairs and lifestyle magazine Monocle has just revealed its second annual restaurant awards, which names what it considers the 50 best restaurants around the world.
Said to honor "consistently good" restaurants over "unpalatably pompous affairs where novelty and pretentiousness are entertained as marks of quality or invention," the full list can be found in the current issue of The Escapist (available at all good bookstores).
The top 10, headed by Tokyo's Cignale Enoteca, is available on the Monocle website, but further down the list there's a spot for Bangkok's Err (#42), the latest modern Thai restaurant from chef couple Duangporn Songvisava and Dylan Jones of celebrated fine-dining institution Bo.lan. To celebrate, the team posted the following photo to Facebook:
Congrats to the entire team!!! . . The winners of The Monocle Restaurant Awards are the ones that #monoclemagazine find...

So, what does BK think of Err? In our three-star review in Nov 2015, we wrote: "With Err, you’re far enough from the mother branch’s Michelin-star aspirations to relax a little but you’re getting the same meticulous research and virtuoso execution as at Bo.lan. Best of both worlds? We think so."
Meanwhile, 2015's Bangkok entrant, Appia, doesn't make the cut this time.
Lists, lists, lists. What do you make of Monocle's restaurant awards? Are there simply too many lists that they're now all but meaningless? If your answer is no, here's a shameless plug for our Top Tables 2016, a guide to Bangkok's 116 best restaurants.
