For adventurous eaters who are always on the lookout for something new. Above Eleven takes pride in being the first rooftop Peruvian-Japanese restaurant in South East Asia. The decor is just electic as the food: custom-designed structural trees, a maze in the entrance era, even the bathrooms are observatories of Bangkok’s skyline! Due to a high Japanese population in Peru, Peruvian-Japanese is one of the fastest growing fusion categories, and Above Eleven is one of the pioneers. Dishes center on Nikkei cuisine, and most dishes are served in small tapas portions so guests can experience the range of  flavors and styles offered in the menu.

If one had to eat a buffet, most would agree that Japanese buffets would be the best bang for the buck. After all, expensive sashimi and seafood add up quickly. Takumi’s buffet menu boasts over 80 items and covers a broad range from hand rolls to chicken cutlets. Located inside Swissotel, the quality of the food and service is consistent with the hotel’s high standards. Be sure to leave room at the end for the signature milk and cheese pudding - a must try even for those who aren’t big lovers of diary!





6. Vertigo

What is a water library anyway? Diners will find out after an unforgettable meal at Water Library Chamchuri. Instead of collecting books, Water Library Chamchuri carries an impressive collection of water, which is put on a dazzling display. The water bar aspect is as central to the establishment’s identity as its creative fusion dishes. The cold capellini with wakame and Tasmanian abalone is a stunner. Thinly sliced abalone, topped with a Japanese touch of wakame-flavored caviar and truffle oil? Mmm.
