Suay Restaurant Cherngtalay

A Modern Thai Restaurant with a Michelin mention

Content show

Suay Cherngtalay is a popular and excellent restaurant serving modern Thai cuisine with a creative touch by chef Noi Tammasak (Suay means beautiful in Thai). The restaurant is very inviting, divided into two areas. The main dining room is a welcoming indoor building with large wooden tables, a cocktail bar, and floor to ceiling glass wall facade. The outdoor sitting area in a garden is lovely, with a more casual atmosphere, with a covered area and another bar. Suay received a Michelin Plate, which is a distinction for excellent food.

Remember that while the outdoor dining area is beautiful and very inviting, it is also the smoking area, and if you are a non-smoker and sit next to a heavy cigar smoker, it might ruin your romantic dinner.

The food served at Suay Restaurant Cherngtalay is a soft modern variation on original Thai recipes. The dishes are beautifully presented, with an enjoyable balance of tastes and textures.
