Bangkok's best restaurants in focus - The BigChilli

Reeling It In- Cafe Fish

2/3/2020

By Peter L.

The large menu at the entrance is blue in colour. So is the restaurant for the most part with nautical theme taking center stage. The restaurant feels like a welcoming deck on a ship, sailing towards a dream destination in the azure waters of the Mediterranean.

Their promise is in the freshness - of their seafood, so we came to try one fine Friday morning. This is Cafe Fish, and their flagship branch is in Siam Paragon. Located on G Floor, steps away from Gourmet Market, this seafood galore is an easy find…

Chicken & More@Piri Piri Flaming Grill

22/8/2019

By CK Lee

With a no-nonsense approach to cooking, Piri Piri prides itself on offering fast and tasty food that doesn’t scrimp on quality. While their grilled chicken is the main star, this restaurant chain also has other delish burgers, beef grill and a selection of salad. We came one afternoon to have a feast…

The casual and rustic atmosphere was welcoming. Piri Piri has several branches across Bangkok. Location is key, as we all say - and this chain has got it - superb locations within Siam Paragon, Emporium, Terminal 21 and their latest opening in Trendy Building on Sukhumvit Soi 13.

We started the meal with the must-have Piri Piri Chicken, cooked the Portuguese way. The piping hot fries were a welcoming sight, we downed it with gulps of ice-cold Coke (or soft drink of your choice) and happiness rushed in. We had a great time sharing the various plates of chicken. Lemon & Herb Chicken was most memorable. 4 distinct bottles of sauce were available at every table. Hot Chilli, Thai Salsa, Sweet Chilli and Extra Hot - the last one is surely not for the faint hearted.

It was also possible to swap out the fries and have a bowl of fried rice, to accompany your chicken. Beef lovers - move towards the Grilled Meat section in the menu where Tenderloin 200grams kicks off the selection. Combo options also aplenty for anyone wanting to mix and match and have a portion of seafood with your chicken. We tried the prawns and sea bass, interchanging them with different sauces! Oh, what a great lunch!

Land Meets the Sea at Pesca

14/6/2019

By CK Lee

Pesca Mar & Terra Bistro is located on Ekkamai Soi 12. Pesca is a market-to-table concept offering a great selection of fresh products, carefully selected with the help of passionate fishermen, farmers, butchers and cheese artisans.

Freshest seafood, steak, organic vegetables and a luxurious display of cheese and cold cuts will dot your table during dinner. Guests can be seated as early as 6pm with last order at 10.30pm (11pm on Saturdays).

Come early to beat the evening rush and let the valet handle your parking. That’ll give you more time to select your oysters and lobsters. We opted for Fine de Claire Oysters, and it was a roaring start to the meal ahead.

Azure goes local to offer dining with a delicious difference

5/12/2018

Premium products and fresh seafood from Hua Hin suppliers

Azure, the Inter Continental Hua Hin Resort’s popular beachside restaurant, has added a neat twist to dining with its “local fare with flair” concept.

Taking inspiration from community traditions, the restaurant now emphasises fresh-caught seafood supplied by nearby fishing villages, together with locally grown fruits and vegetables, and premium meats produced at local farms.

“We wanted to do something truly different to what’s offered at similar restaurants in Hua Hin,” explained General Manager Michael Janssen. “First, put strong focus on local ingredients and preparation methods. Then, delight diners with refined yet straightforward cuisine in a beachfront setting that perfectly complements the food – elegant yet relaxed.”

Diners can experience Azure’s commitment to local ingredients in dishes such as steamed lobster, grilled octopus as well as in top-
quality cuts of beef.

The restaurant’s signature raw bar, meanwhile, serves local and premium imported delicacies such as oysters on the half shell, jumbo prawns, crudo, ceviche and more.

WITH great locations in Bangkok’s most popular malls, the aptly named Café Fish restaurant chain reels in seafood fans in droves with a wide selection of maritime meals such as classic Fish and chips (B290++ made with imported Atlantic Cod) and the Mediterranean- inspired Seafood with pasta in Pomodoro sauce (B290++).

Moom Talay

3/6/2014

Serving tasty Thai seafood right next to the beach

SEAFOOD restaurants in Pattaya are as ubiquitous as seashells on a beach, and just as searching for the perfect, unbroken conch can take several hours, seeking out a decent eatery you want to return to here can take several days.

Visit Moom Talay Thai Restaurant, though, and you’ll find it’s not only an 'unbroken conch,' but actually a giant clam of a discovery – that is, one of the best places in town for enjoying some delicious Thai seafood at great value for money.

Oceans Restaurant

Enjoy a beachfront meal in tropical splendor at Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya

IF you’re looking for a great place to enjoy a beachside seafood meal with your friends or family, Oceans Restaurant at Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya should be your first port of call.

The District Grill Room and Bar

6/6/2013

Succulent steaks, superb seafood, and great service await at this chic new restaurant at the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit

INSPIRED by the style and cuisines of the Meatpacking District of New York City, The District Grill Room and Bar is a must visit for steak and seafood fans looking for superior cuts of meat at great value for money – and a very different atmosphere.

Capturing the essence of its Big Apple muses, this delightful restaurant is set within a contemporary dining room decorated with earthy, dark brown tones. A high ceiling is reined in by carefully subdued lighting, and the ambiance is made even cosier thanks to the open kitchen, where a large grill with flickering flames spills dancing shadows across the room.
