Great Restaurants in Bangrak and Silom

From Street Stalls to Michelin: Where We Ate in Bangrak

Bangrak is packed with great places to eat, and we had a lot of fun trying a mix of local and more refined restaurants. Some Restaurants in Bangrak were famous spots we’ve known for years, while others were new discoveries hidden in small sois. We tried everything from simple street food stalls serving fresh chicken rice or crispy pork with rice, to casual places where locals go for spicy curries and noodle soups. We also visited rooftop restaurants with city views, perfect for a drink and dinner at sunset, and even enjoyed a few Michelin-rated places that serve Thai food with a creative touch.

Each place had something different to offer, depending on the time of day, your mood or your budget. Some are very affordable and great for a quick lunch, while others are perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. This area has a lot of character, and you don’t have to go far to find something delicious. We always enjoy walking around Bangrak and Silom because there’s always a good meal just around the corner. Below are some of our favourite restaurants in Bangrak and Silom neighbourhoods.

Benjarong Restaurant – Baan Dusit Thani

Benjarong Restaurant - Baan Dusit Thani
Silom
Benjarong is a beautiful Thai restaurant hidden inside Baan Dusit Thani, a classic white house surrounded by a large, green garden right in the middle of Bangkok’s busy Silom area. With the chaos of Sala Daeng’s traffic and high-rise towers just outside, walking into the garden feels almost surreal, like stepping into another world that hasn’t changed for decades. The house is elegant without trying too hard. Wooden floors creak slightly underfoot, tall windows let in soft daylight, and the rooms are filled with vintage furniture, fresh flowers, and a few tasteful antiques. Some tables look out across the gardens, while others are tucked into corners for those who prefer a quieter meal. The mansion itself has a long story. It was built before World War II by a Hong Kong trader and designed by a German architect, which explains the European feel you don't usually find in old Bangkok houses. Later, it became known as Baan Sala Daeng and stayed in the hands of the Osathanugrah family for many years. The house stood empty for decades before Dusit International stepped in. In 2019, they reopened it as part of Baan Dusit Thani, after a careful restoration that kept many Read More
