Allegedly Bangkok's first restaurant serving New Zealand
cuisine, Snapper specialises in Kiwi-style fish and chips. Choose from one of four sustain-
ably harvested fish from New Zealand, your cut of fries, and the delicious homemade tar-
tar sauce or a garlic aioli. A handful of other seafood dishes, salads and a brief wine list
round out the selections.
NEW SRI FAH 33$$

This former Chinatown shophouse restaurant, originally opened in 1955, has relocated to
a tight but classy location in new Bangkok. Just about anything from the Thai-Chinese
seafood-heavy menu is bound to satisfy, but we particularly love the stir-fried Chinese
black olive with pork, and the stir-fried water mimosa.
FIREHOUSE$$

Mon; ; Nana exit 3)
There's lots of debate about Bangkok's best burger, but Firehouse
gets our vote. If burgers aren't your thing, try one of the hearty dishes influenced by US
firefighter food. Open late, it's the perfect post-club meal.
TAPAS CAFÉ$$

Although it's the least expensive of Bangkok's Spanish joints, a visit to this friendly res-
taurant is in no way a compromise. Tasty tapas, refreshing sangria and a jazzy Latin vibe
make Tapas Café well worth the visit. Tapas Café is located nearly next door to Suk 11
hostel.

This longstanding garden restaurant is a safe place to gauge the Thai
staples. It also stands for a safe cause: instead of after-meal mints, diners receive packaged
condoms, and all proceeds go towards Population & Community Development Associ-
ation (PDA), a sex education/AIDS prevention organisation.
