Best Restaurants & Food in Bangkok
124 places found in Bangkok
Bangkok is one of the world's great food cities — a place where a 40-baht plate of pad kra pao from a street stall can be just as memorable as a 3,000-baht tasting menu at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The city holds more Michelin stars than any other in Southeast Asia, yet its real culinary power lies in the depth and variety of its street food, market stalls, and neighbourhood restaurants.
Chinatown (Yaowarat) is the epicentre of Bangkok's food scene after dark — head there for legendary seafood, roast duck, and T&K's famous crab omelette. Thonglor and Ekkamai are where Bangkok's dining-out crowd congregates, with everything from Japanese omakase to modern Thai tasting menus. For old-school Thai cooking, explore the side sois of Ari and Saphan Khwai, where family-run restaurants serve regional specialities that never make it onto tourist menus.
