Finished with lattice work, wood and steel furniture, the overall vibe of this Indian restaurant will be plush and contemporary. The main focus of the food will be dishes cooked in a traditional tandoor (clay oven). Owned by Soho Hospitality, the same team behind Above Eleven, the venue is also promising interesting drink options with cocktail pairing suggestions as part of the menu.
Set to open: June
5/F, Fraser Suites, Sukhumvit Soi 11
The Bull & Bush
Fans of classic pub names will guess this new venue is surfing on the modern British gastropub wave. Their kitchen will be offering tapas, gastro bites and pizza—all great for sharing over a sizeable drinks menu that covers cocktails, beers, ales and signature drinks made with gin and scotch. Get ready to grab a table on 2/F for views of the open kitchen or dine in the wine room on 3/F. Alternatively wait a little longer for the rooftop area which will open later this year.

After their success making some of the best fish and chips in town (and being a sustainable restaurant), the people behind Snapper are now turning their attention to a new project. Situated on Sathorn Soi 12. it's still very early days and unconfirmed so all we can tell you is it's going to be a cozy spot serving up New Zealand-style cooking. Indeed this street which is already home to Rocket, looks like becoming a little culinary hot bed with a Chinese restuarant manned by Chef Patrick Martens who used to work for Zuma Bangkok is rumored to be opening here soon as well.
