About
An independent review of Bangkok’s high-end restaurants, bars and hotel dining rooms. Written by one Editor.
The Editor
Eric @ BangkokRestaurants is the Editor of this publication. He lives in Bangkok and dines out several nights a week, almost always with a guest, because a restaurant should be judged the way it is meant to be enjoyed: in company.
He writes about the rooms where Bangkok dresses up. Hotel dining rooms, chef’s counters, society restaurants, and the bars that come before and after them. He uses his first name only. The work is about the table, not the person sitting at it.
What we cover
Bangkok’s high-end restaurants, its serious bars, and the dining rooms of its great hotels. Tasting menus and long lunches. Old money institutions and the new rooms the city is talking about.
A review appears only when a place warrants one. Not every visit becomes a review, and silence is not a verdict.
How reviews are done
-
Anonymous bookings
Tables are booked under the publication’s name, without notice that a review is planned. The Editor arrives as a guest and expects to be treated as one.
-
A fair hearing
If a first visit seems unrepresentative, the Editor returns before writing.
Every review includes
- The room, the service and the cooking, in the Editor’s own words
- The table: what to order, where to sit and who it suits
- A verdict line, in place of a score
