Restaurants in Bangkok: what to know

Restaurants in Bangkok range from family-run Thai kitchens and seafood houses to hot-pot chains, Indian, Japanese, Italian and fine dining. This page brings together restaurants across the city with their address, map pin, opening hours and Google rating, so you can compare places near you.

Use the area links to narrow your search. Chinatown and Victory Monument suit affordable local food. Thonglor, Ekkamai and Phrom Phong lead for international and trend-led dining. Silom & Sathorn, which has the largest group of listings, suits business lunches. Riverside offers river views, and Nana offers Middle Eastern food on Soi 3.

Before you choose:

  • Check the opening hours and the last-order time, which can be well before closing.
  • Book ahead for weekend dinners at popular places, and ask whether service charge and VAT are added to menu prices.
  • Read recent reviews rather than the overall score, since kitchens and owners change.
  • If you have allergies or eat halal or vegetarian, ask the restaurant directly. Listings cannot guarantee it.
  • Check the map pin. A restaurant inside a mall or deep in a soi can be a long walk from the station.

Stalls and market food sit in a separate category. See street food for those, and cafes for coffee and brunch. If you plan to open a restaurant, read the licence guide. For ideas, see our restaurants round-up.

Many restaurants sit above street level, so look at the floor number on the listing.
