The Corner
27/39 Soi Si BamphenGreat brunch and French everyday food.
La Casa Nostra landed in the Top 5 of Bangkok Restaurants of 2017 - not only for their good, Italian food, but for having the probably most comprehensive wine list of Italian wines in Thailand. And the mark-up on all of their wines is only 500 baht, so if you go a bit higher up the price range in the menu, the wines are actually cheaper than on any of the other high-class restaurants in Bangkok.
La Casa Nostra is located on Soi Goethe, the small right-hand alley when you go from the apartment towards Sathon.

Bunker is run by Tim Butler, who is one of the most influential chefs in Bangkok. The decor of the restaurant is the unpolished concrete, uncovered piping with a very industrial look. The food, however, is American/Thai fusion at the highest level.
Located on Sathon Soi 8 - 5 minutes away in taxi.

Slanted Taco is probably the most authentic Mexican restaurant in Bangkok - that is 'Mexican', not 'Tex-Mex'! An extensive selection of high-class tequilas round off the experience.
Oh yeah - they also make a Pastrami Sandwich that is so good that you would have to go to New York to find its match!
