The dishes at this longstanding restaurant, with descriptions like
'fig & blue cheese ravioli w/ walnuts, rosemary and brown butter', or 'beef cheek tagine
w/ saffron and dates', may sound all over the map or perhaps somewhat pretentious, but
they're actually just plain tasty. A buzzy, casual-yet-sophisticated atmosphere, good
cocktails and a handsome wine list, as well as some of Bangkok's best desserts are addi-
tional reasons why this is one of our favourite places to dine.

Holy seafood factory: ascending the
many staircases to a free table might make you nervous about the quality of so much
quantity. But Somboon's legendary 'fried curry crab' will leave you messy and full.
Dainty eaters can opt for the slightly more surgical pursuit of devouring a whole fried
fish.
