In this charming, tastefully decorated townhouse, people from all over the city come to enjoy beef and red wine.

It’s easy to sum up: Sasaya is our favorite Japanese restaurant in Bangkok.

With its large windows, high ceilings, and manicured garden, this lovely white house looks like something out of a tropical dream. You settle into the wooden benches on the terrace, beneath the slow-turning fans, in the humid stillness — transported into the atmosphere of old films that evoke the golden age of Indochina.

A new standout Italian address has arrived in this beautiful villa along Soi 31 — a rare find in Sukhumvit, complete with a spacious garden.

Located in the 24 BLVR — the new go-to hangout for the well-heeled youth — the place is stylish, the music’s on point, and the plates are pretty enough. But much like the crowd pulling up in Panameras and flaunting their designer bags, this spot seems mostly made for Instagram.

The “healthy café” concept — born in the United States and quickly adopted across Europe — has, unsurprisingly, found its way to Bangkok.

Hidden down a side street in Bangkok’s Phrom Phong area — dotted with bars of varying levels of sketchiness — Ichigo’s Dining is a small, no-fuss spot worth knowing.

It doesn’t take long to realize you’ve stepped into the den of a true wine lover. With over 1,000 labels in the cellar, Swirl is a serious contender for Bangkok’s best wine bar. But the bottles, directly at hand to choose in the cellar, are only part of the story.

True to its name, this new riverside restaurant offers a full immersion in authenticity. Housed in a charming wooden structure along the water’s edge, every detail — from the architecture and décor to the staff’s attire — evokes a sense of heritage and tradition.

Catalan chef Roger Solé-Masoliver has turned his passion for Japanese cuisine into a bold, high-end concept that’s made Fuego a modern classic on Bangkok’s fine dining scene.

At Sushi Akazu, exlusivity isn’t just a concept, it’s a ritual. Hidden behind a discreet door, this minimalist sanctum seats barely a dozen diners, each privy to an intimate culinary performance orchestrated by Chef Masahiro Misaki.

This is the new favorite hangout of young Bangkokians who are drawn to its vibrant, Instagrammable aesthetic (and the markers provided to doodle on the glasses).

You’d never guess that the staircase of this modest little building leads to such a magical place.

With its tattooed chef and loud music, this place has naturally become a staple of Bangkok’s wild party scene.
