ation for authentic Seoul food. Go for the tasty prepared dishes or, if you've got a bit more
time, the excellent, DIY Korean-style barbecue.
BEI OTTO$$$
GERMAN

;
1 Soi 20, Th Sukhumvit; mains 175-590B; 11am-midnight; ; Sukhumvit exit 2,
Asok exit 4)
Claiming a Bangkok residence for nearly 30 years, Bei Otto's major culinary
bragging point is its pork knuckles, reputedly the best in town. A good selection of Ger-
man beers and an attached delicatessen with brilliant breads and super sausages makes it
even more attractive to go Deutsch.
OPPOSITE MESS HALL $$$
INTERNATIONAL
(

; 2nd fl, 27/2 Soi 51, Th Sukhumvit; mains 220-650B; 6-11pm Tue-Sun; ;
Thong Lo exit 1)
Much like the dishes it serves (example: 'savoury duck waffle, leg confit,
pate, crispy skin and picalily relish'), Opposite can be hard to pin down. But how can you
go wrong with a beautiful space, friendly service and really excellent cocktails? There's a
menu, but the best strategy is to check the daily blackboard menu.
SOUL FOOD MAHANAKORN $$$
THAI
( 0 2714 7708;
www.soulfoodmahanakorn.com
;
56/10 Soi 55 (Thong Lor), Th Sukhumvit; mains 220-300B;
5.30pm-midnight; ; Thong Lo exit 3)
Soul Food gets its buzz from its dual nature as both
an inviting restaurant - the menu spans tasty interpretations of rustic Thai dishes - and a
bar serving deliciously boozy, Thai-influenced cocktails. Reservations recommended.
BACCO - OSTERIA DA SERGIO $$$
ITALIAN
(
www.bacco-bkk.com
; 35/1 Soi 53, Th Sukhumvit; antipasti 200-800B, mains 350-1200B; 11.30am-2.30pm &
5.30pm-midnight Mon-Fri, 11am-midnight Sat & Sun; ; Thong Lo exit 1)
The slightly cheesy in-
terior of this
osteria
serves as a cover for one of Bangkok's better Italian menus. There's
an abundance of delicious antipasti, but the emphasis here is on breads, from pizza to
pi-
ada
(flatbread), all of which are exceptional.
