SP公园酒店

A neighbourhood original serving for over three decades, this humble cart is famed for its steamed crabs and prawns on glass noodles. The seafood is impeccably fresh, the noodles silky yet springy, and the flavours come alive when you stir in the rich juices beneath. Prices remain wallet-friendly and portions generous. Easily reached from Wongwian Yai BTS, just follow the tempting aromas through the alley.

Traditional and novel converge at this Thai-Chinese fine dining restaurant from chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij. Set in a historical Sino-Portuguese building that once housed Pam's family’s Chinese pharmacy, Potong blends rustic and modern décor from the ground-floor bar to the rooftop chill space. Her progressive tasting menu, offered as a single set with optional upgrades, is infused with storytelling and showcases creative use of Chinese ingredients. To make it even better, ask the sommelier for a wine pairing.

Peruvian executive chef Evens López stays true to the spirit of French fine dining, albeit with a fresh, lighter, international perspective. He thoughtfully interweaves Southeast Asian ingredients and Mediterranean flair, a refined balance exemplified by his heritage tomato starter – Thai and French tomatoes transformed into jellies and consommés, topped with crunchy almonds. The tender Mount Schank lamb rack with fig leaf is equally accomplished.

A new chapter unfolds in Bangkok’s dining scene as Anne-Sophie Pic brings her celebrated French artistry to the city. Working alongside her trusted Japanese head chef, Tamaki Kobayashi, the menu highlights Pic’s signature creations, including her renowned lobster dish and the thoughtfully curated Voyage menu. Set in a beautifully renovated space overlooking the Chao Phraya River, it blends elegance with quiet refinement.

For over two decades, this restaurant has been serving seafood here in Little China Town, an area whose streets are lined by vendors. The array of mouthwatering dishes on offer captures local savour. The popular stir-fried prawn with salt and pepper boasts a blend of savoury and slightly salty flavours. The clams with sweet chilli paste and Thai basil is another standout dish – the paste adds a hint of sweetness that complements the Thai basil aroma perfectly.

There are some things in life worth queuing for. Welcome to one of them. Jay Fai has long been a street food icon, and for good reason — the begoggled chef’s signature crispy, golden-brown crab omelettes are wonderful and will remain long in the memory of everyone who’s tried them. If you’re looking for another reason to love the local legend, then also try her stir-fried prawns in yellow curry or one of the many noodle dishes. The queuing system is well organised but arrive knowing you’ll have to spend time standing in line – and bring cash.

Tucked away in a small market stall, this family-run dessert shop is famous for its sweet Bokkia. It's a unique treat: egg noodles, topped with crushed ice and syrup, which is amazingly refreshing and not too sweet. The condimental options are also good quality.
