On a maddeningly hot night at 137 Pillars in downtown Bangkok, BK Magazine hosted its 14th Top Tables event, a vibrant gathering for the city’s dining elite. The night celebrated Bangkok's culinary excellence, supported by a prestigious lineup of sponsors including 137 Pillars Hotels & Resorts, Aperol, Nikka Whiskey, and more. As always, the rankings were decided by an independent panel of journalists, bloggers, and influencers who prioritize taste and innovation above all else.
The night’s biggest honors went to Côte by Mauro Colagreco, which not only claimed the No. 1 spot for 2026 but also swept the Best Service and Best Mediterranean awards. Thai cuisine also saw a massive victory: Baan Tepa secured the No. 7 spot and the Best Thai Restaurant title, while its visionary leader, Chef Chudaree “Tam” Debhakam, was crowned Best Chef for 2026. Additionally, Chef Pam’s new venture, Khao San Sek, made an impressive debut at No. 20, taking home awards for Best New Restaurant and Best New Restaurant Design.
The 2026 rankings showcase the incredible diversity and talent within Bangkok’s gastronomic landscape, from long-standing icons to bold new entries.
