Best Restaurants in Bangkok (2026)

Bangkok is one of the world's great food cities, and its restaurants range from shophouse kitchens to some of Asia's most decorated dining rooms. In the old town, Raan Jay Fai cooks its famous crab omelette over charcoal and holds a Michelin star, while Thipsamai a few doors away has served its egg-wrapped pad thai for generations. Somtum Der near Sala Daeng is a reliable introduction to the fiery salads and grilled meats of Isan, and Supanniga Eating Room at Tha Tien serves home-style dishes from Trat and the northeast with views of Wat Arun.

At the top end, Sorn holds three Michelin stars for its Southern Thai cooking, Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie has two, and Gaggan, Le Du, Potong, Bo.lan and Nusara each hold one in the 2026 guide. Paste revives historic recipes from aristocratic households in Gaysorn Village. Book the tasting-menu restaurants well in advance, often several weeks ahead, and check deposit and cancellation rules, which can be strict. Many top restaurants close one or two days a week, and street food favourites can close without notice, so always have a nearby alternative. Ask for your preferred spice level when ordering, and carry cash for the smaller shops.
