AUBERGE DAB

It has some of the traditional feel of a French auberge but without the presence of a French family owner. A very accomplished Filipino duo croons ballads every evening. Located at the Mercury Tower near the Ploenchit skytrain station.

C’EST BON

Cosy, romantic and sophisticated. Framed black-and-white photographs adorn the walls of this graceful, well-appointed restaurant which dangles silky gauze between some tables to seclude diners in semi-cocoons amid little pillows, indirect lighting and other flourishes.

GIANNI

A pleasant, modest-sized restaurant, Gianni affords the same tranquillity as its quiet Soi Tonson location through its dimly lit tables and serene setting. But large abstract paintings and a bright red sofa add lively touches.

WITCH’S

At ground level stop at the cosy separate bar before heading upstairs to the dining section. There, wicker and white linen, paintings in ornate gilt frames and wood flooring that creaks a bit from humidity bring to mind days of empire and languid times in a tropical posting.

THE REFLEXIONS

Step across a marble floor, around a long brushed-metal bar and into the cool glow of blue and violet light that helps to set the mood for a jazz trio with vocalist. A black, pin-holed ceiling mimics twinkling starlight. Interior angles are sharp, colours muted. The restaurant’s private room occupies a balcony overhead.

PROVENCE

Although indoors at Peninsula Plaza shopping centre, this restaurant feels almost like an outdoor cafe with big white umbrellas, ersatz street lamps, artificial trees and a large fountain. Best for lunch because in the evening the shops close, giving the area an abandoned feel.

This contemporary Thai restaurant exudes relaxation from the light-coloured wood furniture. The open kitchen lends a lively feel as chefs dexterously prepare the dishes. Things can get hectic on days when there is a business conference though.

Located close to the Ploenchit skytrain station, the restaurant was opened late in 2005, eight years after its popular first branch in Soi Ekamai.
