The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2025 continues to celebrate Bangkok’s vibrant food scene with new additions to the Bib Gourmand category — where bold flavors, time-honored recipes, and unbeatable value come together in true Thai style.
This year’s list in Bangkok takes diners on a flavor-packed journey across the capital, from century-old offal dishes to bold Southern Thai staples. Whether you’re a seafood lover, spice chaser, or comfort food enthusiast, there’s something to savor — like stewed pig’s brain and liver sausage for breakfast, turmeric-fried frog and lotus-root curry for lunch, and crispy garlic tofu or stir-fried crab to wrap up the day.
Hungry yet? Let’s dig into what to order at these Bib Gourmand eateries in Bangkok in this video.
Thai Tham
This well-loved little shop has been passed down through the generations for more than a century. They specialize in offal -- and their signature dish showcases stewed pig's brain, prepared fresh each morning by octogenarian owner Sudjit Suranan. Try the Chinese liver sausage starter, too.
Krua Apsorn (Dusit)
This family-run stall is inevitably a hit with anyone who eats here -- including patrons such as the Thai royal family. The simplicity of the exterior belies the gem of a Thai kitchen hidden inside. Some dishes are unique and feature the family's secret recipes. The stir-fried pork with bird's-eye chili is tender and bursting with herbal aromas. The signature yellow curry with large prawns and crispy lotus root strikes the perfect blend of sour, spicy and sweet.
Janhom
Aunty Paew has been serving intense Southern Thai cuisine for more than 20 years, using fresh, daily ingredients to guide a changing menu. The chef makes her own curry paste, and signature dishes include kaeng tai pla fish curry and stir-fried sataw beans with shrimp and aromatic shrimp paste. The deep-fried frog with turmeric is another standout. Chilled watermelon refreshes the palate after this fiery feast.
Jeh O
Jeh O might be known for her Tom Yum instant noodles, but her menu contains numerous other top-notch dishes. Many, including her delicious fried tofu with crispy garlic, boiled rice with duck, and signature crispy pork, are popular Thai favorites. Though the staff only speaks Thai, there’s an English picture menu for non-Thai speakers. Outside the shop, an eager crowd waits up to two hours for tables -- to get in faster, arrive just before opening or near closing.
Lucky Seafood
This gem of a place serves fresh seafood with Thai flavors, featuring house-made curry and chili paste. Order in advance or call to check availability. Try the stir-fried crab with bird's-eye chili or the non-spicy stir-fried squid with curry powder.
