The best restaurants and cafes in Bangkok Old Town

Food-loving graphic designer, Sittisak Sakornsin, has converted a traditional Thai wooden house into Baan Nual, a clandestine eatery—one of city’s very first—that serves home-cooked fare in a setting reminiscent of your grandmother’s Old Town residence.

The collaboration has produced one of the most exciting restaurant openings this year, combining Supanniga’s greatest hits with Root’s signature brews and an unparalleled riverside dining experience. 

Kushiyaki or grilled skewered items star in Jua’s menu. Chef Adkins’ take on casual  Japanese bites veer away from the traditional and instead focus on influences spanning global flavors. 

The focus here is on the ice cream made by owner Chutinat Thasananuphan. Popular flavors include lime soda sorbet, strawberry sorbet and blueberry yoghurt, but it’s the booze-infused frozen treats that make headlines.
