Two stars, MICHELIN Guide Bangkok 2018
Situated inside the golden dome on the 65th floor of lebua hotel, this contemporary restaurant offers a panoramic view of the city’s horizons — featuring both city and river views.

The dishes are made of Japanese ingredients from chef Ryuki’s hometown such as sazae (sea snail), ayu and Niigata Murakami wagyu beef A5. Apart from the food, Mezzaluna offers several wines from Italy, France, New Zealand, Austria, Portugal and Japan to pair with the seven-course menu.

Located in the heart of the city centre, La VIE on the 11th floor of VIE Hotel Bangkok is where the view is complemented by the contemporary French-Japanese cuisine. Dishes are inspired by the guest chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants who cook at the restaurant regularly throughout the year. Fresh ingredients are a top priority here, with the menu constantly adapting to the seasonal availability of produce from local farmer’s markets and ingredients shipped in from Japan and France. A lot of herbs and vegetables are grown in the hotel’s rooftop garden — so freshness is guaranteed.

Supanniga Eating Room (Tha Tian)
Plate, MICHELIN Guide Bangkok 2018
Supanniga Eating Room’s riverfront restaurant is located right opposite of the Temple of Dawn where you can watch the warm rays of the setting sun. The Thai restaurant serves several types of food with the authentic Thai flavors — with all signature dishes inspired by the recipes of the owner’s grandmother. Some dishes come from time-honoured recipes, such as Moo Cha Muang or stewed pork with herbs and cha muang leaves. For special occasions, board a unique evening Supanniga River Cruise along the Chao Phraya River where you can experience views of the illuminated temples and bridges along the way while feasting on a gourmet meal from the Supanniga kitchen. Or you can simply sip on champagne on the cruise and get off at the port in front of Supanniga to taste the food at the restaurant.
