By Max Crosbie-Jones It felt wrong arriving at Pedalicious, Bangkok’s first bicycle bistro, by motorbike taxi, as if we’d cheated somehow. Not that anyone minded. Though geared towards Bangkok’s cycling converts (a gutsy breed of local who many would label suicidal given the anarchic roads here) this two-storey Ekkamai shophouse works just as well as… [more]

By Simon Ostheimer Adding a sense of comfort to the Seenspace mall off Thong Lor, Roast Coffee & Eatery is brought to you by the same folks behind Japanese housewife favourite Ohana Cafe on Sukhumvit 24.

If you’ve not heard of BKK Bagel Bakery, then you’ve obviously never heard of Twitter either.

As a native New Yorker, he should know…. [more]

Hunkered down at the intersection of Surawong and Rama IV Roads, Roadhouse is a carnivores’ pleasure dome. A bustling street level bar/restaurant offers up live music, while a quieter non-smoking dining room is… [more]

The neighbourhood around Bourbon Street seems to draw inspiration from the restaurant’s namesake – this 20- year veteran of Bangkok’s restaurant scene is set amidst a sweaty, bawdy entertainment strip. Once you plow past the neighborhood’s neon glare, you will find a restaurant with a casual, big-heated vibe – grab a seat at the giant… [more]

Woodstock Bar & Grill was once, in a former incarnation, the only non-girlie bar in Nana Plaza. Known for their rock and roll tunes – hence the name – and various styles of hamburgers, the modern day Woodstock is housed in a three-floor loft on Thong Lo where the atmosphere is, more than anything, exceedingly… [more]

This steakhouse is both extraordinarily rare and exceptionally well done at the same time.

A spacious open kitchen greets… [more]

Now, we have not gone mad. Yes, it’s a burger joint in a shopping mall but enter Owner Poo’s dream come true and you’ll trust us again. Bordering on the kitschy (general Americana) and the freakish (car seats), the interior screams cozy and offhand-cool. While junior guests are handed a Nintendo, the floppy menu promises,… [more]
