Cocotte's sister restaurant, Pesca Mar & Terra Bistro, ditches the farmhouse for the Mediterranean seaside and serves up imported seafood alongside hefty slabs of meat within a sprawling blue and white house. Inside, the open kitchen bustles with all the action of a fresh seafood market. A few steps away you'll find a market-esque deli counter and a small wine room.

Review from  

The buzz: Thonglor has a new gold standard for good pizzas, and it isn’t even on Thonglor. Massilia “mark 2” takes over where Smith left off at the top of Soi 49 with its Italy-meets-France approach to pizzas, along with a side order of Provencal small plates.

Review from  

This popular Sukhumvit eatery could be characterized as a “deluxe rotisserie” specializing in steaks, roast chicken and one of the best cheese and coldcut platters in town. Meats and vegetables come direct from quality suppliers, and the extensive selection of wines pairs well with the smart, focused menu. Best of all, the setting—open, friendly, stuffed full of both Thai and foreign food lovers—is perfect for large groups and celebrations.

Review from  

Chef Luca Appino’s habitual research trips back to his homeland result in some of the best seasonal Italian produce that Bangkok has to offer. These are put to good use in dishes that are refined yet authentic in flavor. Chef Andrea Ortu heads the kitchen these days, wielding his influene in unbelievably creamy and rich risottos, decadent slow-cooked beef and to-die-for lemon curdstuffed crepes. To drink, the cellar comes equipped with some of the finest Super Tuscans around.

Review from  

The buzz: Above a bro-heavy, chug-tastic craft beer bar, Korean-American chef Dan Bark (past employer: Chicago’s Grace) serves tasting menus that take on the most experimental end of fine dining. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is how fantastically this dichotomy works.

The food: When you see “Longan” on the menu of a restaurant like Upstairs, you can be sure that the dish in question will be anything but that simple. And is so. Longan is turned into ice cream, served with a plum sorbet with mochi and pistachio and coated in toasted rice milk. “Seafood Bisque” sees a local river prawn served with tropical santol fruit, clams, Asian mushrooms, sage and tarragon. Every night, the menu consists of 10 such deceptively simple and fastidiously handled courses.
