Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Why go, and how to do it well

Most places on Khaosan are built for one drink and a quick plate. This one isn't. The kitchen runs Thai, Thai fusion, pasta and sourdough pizza, and bakes its own bread downstairs, which is why people who stay in the area end up coming back three or four times in a week rather than once.

The dishes that come up again and again are salmon with yellow curry, stir-fried chicken with spaghetti in red curry sauce, and mango panna cotta to finish. Sandwiches come on baguette, sourdough or ciabatta, and there's homemade salami, ham and sausage if you want a breakfast that isn't rice soup. Wine, cold and by the glass, plus cocktails. There are two floors, with fans on the ground floor and an air-conditioned room upstairs, and I'd take the upstairs room in April without thinking twice. The one gripe worth passing on is the seating. The chairs are hard and some tables sit low, so it's not a place to linger for three hours.

Visited for a late lunch. We tried salmon with yellow curry and stir fried chicken with spaghetti and red curry sauce. We ended the lunch with mango panna cotta. The restaurant has a great variety of dishes - from traditional dishes and breakfast on sourdough bread to pasta and pizza. All is home made (including the pasta and sourdough pizzas) and fresh. The team are so friendly and welcoming - happy to help you with your choices. You can also have a look at their own bakery on the second floor and see how they make their sourdough products. We had a great time and are very grateful we found this place - definitely one to add to your stop when visiting Bangkok. Thank you so much to the team for looking after us ❤️

Lovely restaurant with a great selection of wine in Khaosan. The food was excellent and very tasty 😋 The staff were lovely and friendly 🤩 We went there for our dinner and also for our breakfast 😊 I love the homemade salami, ham, sausage and bread 🥖💕 Only tiny problem was the seats (chairs) were to hard to sit in for long time which I believe it would be fabulous if the restaurant have chair cushions to afford the customers:) , and some of the tables are quite low, make it a bit difficult to sit and enjoy the food but for the drinks are fine 🙂

Best food in Kaosan area! Great pizza, Thai, Thai fusion food. Good cold wine, cocktails and drinks. We came here 3 times during our 4 day stay in Bangkok and everything everything was great. Our service guy was so charming and friendly! 5****

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
