First Michelin Guide To Bangkok - A Guide To The City’s Best Restaurants

Bangkok has long dazzled discerning diners, and with the arrival of the Michelin Guide, the city’s world-class gastronomy now enjoys global acclaim.

The esteemed Michelin Guide has meticulously curated a selection of Bangkok’s finest dining venues, now featuring over 100 establishments and awarding a remarkable 24 stars across 20 restaurants as of the latest edition.

Bangkok’s Most Celebrated Michelin-Starred Restaurants

Among the elite, three restaurants have secured the coveted two-star status: the acclaimed Indian trailblazer Gaggan Anand, helmed by the eponymous chef; the iconic Le Normandie by Alain Roux at the legendary

Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

—a bastion of French haute cuisine since 1958; and Mezzaluna,

an innovative European dining destination

soaring above the city on the 65th floor of the

Lebua Hotel

.

Fourteen restaurants have been honored with one Michelin star, including the contemporary Thai standout Nahm at

COMO Metropolitan Bangkok

, the inventive Chim by Siam Wisdom, the modernist Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin, and the legendary street food institution Jay Fai.

In the most recent Michelin Guide, 30 celebrated street food venues are highlighted, yet only the legendary Jay Fai has earned a Michelin star—an extraordinary recognition for a street-side eatery. Of the 20 Michelin-starred venues in Bangkok, eight showcase the depth and artistry of Thai cuisine.
