Best restaurants in Bangkok

After only a few hours in Bangkok, tourists will be surprised by the wide variety of places to eat. The city has many notable Thai and world-class international restaurants. Perhaps the best thing about Bangkok's restaurants is that the food is delicious but very cheap compared to other cities.

The following are some of the best restaurants in Bangkok.

100 Ratchadamri
A place for the blue-bloods, 100 Ratchadamri is located on the complex of the Royal Bangkok Sports Club. It specializes in Thai and Italian cuisine. The house specialty is deep-fried crab with a pomelo salad. The dining area is outdoors, facing the lush club grounds. As its name indicates, this restaurant is located at 100 Th Ratchadamri, Pathumwan.

Ban Glang Nam
Located at 288 Soi 14, Th Phra Ram III, Greater Bangkok, this traditional Thai restaurant provides a soothing riverside view. The kitchen specializes in seafood dishes cooked the Thai way. Their spicy shrimp soup is a hit among expatriates. There are other riverside restaurants in the area but none have the same old-fashioned charm.

Bed Supperclub
One of the most popular international restaurants in Bangkok, Bed specializes in European and American dishes but also has a Thai menu. It has a unique setting: diners eat on beds rather than tables. In keeping with its futuristic theme, the restaurant projects art films throughout the day. Bed is located at 26 Soi 11, Th Sukhuvmit, Sukhumvit.

D'sens
This elegant French restaurant is at the top of Dusit Thani, overlooking Lumpini Park. It’s the brainchild of the Pourcel twins, Jacques and Laurent, the men behind the Le Jadrin de Sens in Montpellier, France. D'sens conjures images of the south of France and serves outstanding French cuisine and French wine. It’s located at 946 Th Phra Ram IV, Lumpini.

Somboon Seafood
Located at 169/7-11 Th Surawong, Silom, Somboon Seafood is one of the most popular Chinese restaurants in Bangkok. They are renowned for their authentic Chinese cuisine, especially seafood dishes featuring crabs and fish. The Somboon crab curry is famous all over town. Make sure that you book ahead for reservations.
