We, like you, know that Saturdays and Sundays are best spent around a dining table, preferably one sagging with wholesome sharing plates alongside awesome company. That’s why, for our next big Bangkok foodie event, we’re putting the spotlight on brunch. For five consecutive weekends starting Jun 15, The BK Brunch Club partners with over 20 of the city’s lightest, brightest, most daytime-friendly dining spots to roll out sensational sharing menus of the finest produce.
The BK Brunch Club isn’t your run-of-the-mill Sunday brunch with long buffet lines and the same old cooking stations. We’re talking at least four courses at every restaurant, most or all of them served family-style just for your table, with menus starting from just B1,000 per person. And what’s brunch without booze? Plenty of the Brunch Club venues will also be offering alcohol packages for an additional B500.
Who’s taking part? Many of Bangkok’s top fine-dining and fine-casual restaurants, including Ocken, The Meatchop and names that don’t normally do brunch or even lunch, such as 80/20, Jua and Sensi. This is their opportunity to create special dishes—and for you to sample them.
Pre-booking is now open for Citibank credit card users, while general booking for all card types opens on Jun 1. For full updates on menus and prices, stay peeled to bkrestaurantweek.com/brunch
80/20
The Place: 2019 saw Charoenkrung’s hipster hangout go upscale: kitchen bar seats, tasting menu, wine pairing and craft cocktails. Fermentation remains at the heart of chef Napol Jantraget’s nine-course menu, whether it’s a sinfully crisp slice of pork belly topped with infused mushroom and served with a fermented chili sauce or a tangy coconut cream with smoked goby fish. Desserts by Japanese pastry chef Saki Hoshino forgo sweetness in favor of sublimely challenging new flavors.

In a hall made for big, boisterous gatherings, guests are encouraged to hurl crockery, as is Greek tradition, to a soundtrack of “Zorba’s Dance.”

Olta
The Place: Olta shoots for the sweet spot between casual afterwork meetups and special-occasion dining through teal banquettes, moody down-lighting, walls popping with black-and-white contemporary art and a soundtrack flipping between mid-tempo hip-hop and singalong indie. Bar snacks like the Scotch egg and Thai wagyu tartare sandwich hint at humble origins, but regular, run-of-the-mill pub grub this ain’t. The cocktail list is short, but no after-thought, also reveling in fresh ingredients and refreshed recipes.

The pad pong gari pu nim (curried wok-fried soft shell crab) served with Maine lobster is a real highlight.
