Best places to eat at ICONSIAM

This unique concept restaurant at Iconsiam gathers Thailand’s rich culinary heritage under one roof – literally. Think of it as a miniature kingdom of Thailand, where the heady flavours of the north, north-east, central plains and sizzling south come together in a feast for the senses. Essentially, it’s a big bite of the nation’s diverse food culture in a comfortable and immersive setting.

From the heart of the north-east, Phu Thai Kai Yang is a standout eatery from Sakon Nakhon, famous for its authentic Isan-style grilled chicken. From the Central plains, Pad Thai Ari serves up plates of pad thai made with Ratchaburi radish and fresh shrimp. The far north is represented by Khao Soi Lamduan Fa Ham, a beloved Chiang Mai hot spot that puts its own spin on the iconic noodle dish khao soi by insisting on serving only short noodles – a choice that, they say, enhances the dish’s flavour. And from the sultry south is Nam Cha Bang Bao, a Nakhon Si Thammarat haven famed for its signature roti offerings and expertly brewed tea.

Here, you’re in for a treat from both land and sea. The restaurant’s commitment to fresh, high-quality seafood and prime cuts of meat is evident in every dish, with standout options like farfalle with wagyu in cream sauce. Australian wagyu beef is also a highlight. The restaurant’s clever touch is its use of all-white plates, which inspired its name. Opt for the outdoor seating area for a view of Iconsiam’s river park overlooking the Chao Phraya River.

True to its name, James Boulangerie offers croissants – arguably some of the best in town – in a restaurant setting overlooking the Chao Phraya River.

Standout options include salted egg squid, Phuket-style braised pork, green curry with tender beef cheeks, and the inventive croissant sai ua.

Sporting industrial-chic décor and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, the venue offers sweeping views of Bangkok’s skyline and the Chao Phraya River.
