Ratana's Kitchen
(320-322 Th Tha Phae; mains 50-190B; 7.30am-11.30pm; )
Jump out of the daytime oven and into
Ratana's kitchen. It isn't a culinary legend but the dishes are affordable and it's close to
Pratu Tha Phae for wilting tourists.
Chez Marco Restaurant & Bar
( 0 5320 7032; 15/7 Th Loi Kroh; mains 150-350B; 5.30pm-midnight Mon-Sat; )
It is surprising to
find such a beloved restaurant in the middle of Loi Kroh's girlie bar scene. But Chez
Marco catapults past the ho-hum tourist joints with top-notch French fare and reasonable
prices. Homemade bread, duck dishes and tuna carpaccio are just some of the specialities.
Kids menu too.

Antique House
(71 Th Charoen Prathet; mains 100-250B; 11am-10pm)
Set in a quaint teak house with an antique-
filled garden, this touristy restaurant does a much better job with ambience than it does
food. Regardless, it remains a popular place to entertain out-of-towners, and the grilled
fish dishes won't disappoint.

Whole Earth Restaurant
(88 Th Si Donchai; mains 150-350B; 11am-10pm; )
This confectionery-coloured teak house
wears a garden of hanging vines and orchids growing in the crooks of tree limbs. It is the
sort of place Thais take someone special - where the staff will treat you like royalty and
the dishes seem exotic (Thai, Indian and vegetarian) without being demanding.
