BK Magazine has partnered with restaurant booking app Eatigo to offer discounts of up to 50-percent at some of our favorite restaurants. Go to either the app or website, look for the "BK Favorites" section (which you can find right here) and choose what time you want to eat.
There are heapsof deals available, but you've got to know when to book if you want to snag the biggest bargains. Here's our guide to the hottest times to eat at each of the partnered restaurants.
1. 1881 by Water Library
Water Library's gastro bar at this breezy, partly open-air mall is inspired by a 19th-century steam power plant. The kitchen is all about comforting dishes, ranging from a classic burger to tiger prawn pasta. Look out for consulting Swiss chef Urs Lustenbergerh's more personal dishes, too: the spicy "Siam chicken praline" or the "double duck salad" with black olive crumble, poached onsen duck egg, and smoked duck breast.
When can I get 50% discount?
4pm and 4:30pm.
What about primetime deals?
Get there by 6pm and you can still snag 30% off your meal, but by 6:30pm that's down to 20% and 7pm 10%, where it stays until 9pm.
1881 by Water Library, Groove@CentralWorld, Rama 1 Rd. Book here.
2. Scalini
Scalini appeals to diners looking for an Americanized form of Italian dining—more Godfather than La Dolce Vita. Headed by Chef Egidio Latorraca, who has over 15 years’ experience from stints in Australia, Europe and Macau, Scalini dishes out specialties like paccheri pasta with duck ragout, oven-baked black cod with Sicilian couscous and, its signature dessert, tiramisu, in a setting that recalls the prohibition era of 1920s America.
When can I get 50% discount?
This one's pretty good. You can get yourself 50% off all through prime lunch hours, from 12pm-1:30pm.
What about dinner?
7:30pm-8pm you can get a not-too-shabby 30% off, while 9pm and 9:30pm that goes up to 40%.
Hilton Sukhumvit Bangkok, 11 Sukhumvit Soi 24. Book here.
3. Mejico
The Bangkok branch of the Sydney-based restaurant Mejico does away with Mexican food's usual format of big portions and low-key vibe. Instead, Mejico aims to give its food a more exciting edge by incorporating modern twists like guacamole made table-side and served with banana chips. The menu does include some simpler items, too, like the substantial braised beef short rib in smoky chipotle marinade. There are also over 190 different labels of tequila behind the bar.
When can I get 50% discount?
3:30pm-5pm
What about primetime deals?
20% from 6-6:30pm and 10% from 7-7:30pm. 10% discount throught the lunch rush, too.
2/F, Groove @ CentralWorld, Rama 1 Rd. Book here.
4. Tapas y Vino
Tapas y Vino's plates are much more sophisticated in their presentation than you'd find in your average tapas joint. For example, the classic diced potatoes, patatas bravas, are artfully presented as six small hollowed out, inch-long cylinders stuffed with a wonderfully tangy mayonnaise. The sophistication isn't just in the plates, either. There's a certain sense of occasion to dining under the big Spanish chandeliers, with a wall of wine to one side and the cooks busying themselves behind a long zinc counter on the other.
When can I get 50% discount?
6pm and 9pm only.
What about primetime deals?
Still pretty sweet. 6:30-8:30pm you get 40% off. No lunch service.
2/F, Pullman Grande Sukhumvit, 30 Sukhumvit Soi 21 (Asoke). Book here.
5. Mexicano
This Mexican restaurant has the seniority (first in town!), the live band and we-aim-to-please hotel service. While touches of Tex-Mex remain, the menu is now firmly "South of the border," meaning Mexican classics (fajitas, espetadas, tacos) and a few South Americans additions like Peruvian-inspired ceviche salads. The terra-cotta and stone decor is a fittingly cozy backdrop for the regular live bands playing Latin sounds.
When can I get 50% discount?
5pm and 11pm.
What about primetime deals?
10% discount from 6:30-8:30pm
1/F, Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok, 19 Sukhumvit Soi 18. Book here.
6. The Great Kabab Factory
The famous Indian franchise is now in Bangkok serving some 450 types of kababs (grilled meat or vegetables) as well as curries. Served both as set menus and all-you-can-eat, Indian chef Mahesh Thepa changes his menu daily but sticks to the same herbs and spices as are used in the mother branch. Thanks to a large open kitchen, you'll see the chefs busying themsevles around the tandoor ovens.
When can I get 50% discount?
5:50pm and 6pm; 10pm and 10:30pm.
What about primetime deals?
A handsome 30% off is available from 6:30-7:30pm.
L/F, Majestic Grande Hotel, 12 Sukhumvit Soi 2. Book here.
7. Rock
Armed with a pan-Asian focused menu, chef Thanyathorn Kojaranonta takes culinary cues from places as far-flung as Myanmar, India, and China (as well as Thailand) to cook up dishes like crab curry with noodles, syrup pork buns and toddy palm cake. The cocktails, designed by ubiquitous bar-hand Joseph Boroski, are an equal treat.
When can I get 50% off?
You're in luck, here: 50% is offered right from 5:30-6:30pm.
What about other primetime hours?
40% at 7pm; 30% at 7:30pm; 20% at 8pm
7/1 Paholyothin Soi 9. Book here.
8. Barcelona Gaudi
This Spanish restaurant is perhaps Bangkok's only Catalan specialist and also serves a range of Mediterranean and Thai-Catalan fusion dishes. The specialty is the paella which is available in many different flavors. Other highlights include homemade croquettes, garlic prawns, Iberico ham, Spanish omelet and crema Catalana. You can also sip sangria while watching your favorite La Liga team on the big screen.
When can I get 50% off?
One for the night-owls: 11pm and 11:30pm
What about Primetime hours?
30% discount extends right from 12pm lunch through to 4:30pm. 10% discount throughout dinner service.
Le Premier 1 Condominium, Sukhumvit Soi 23. Book here.
