8 Bangkok tasting menus that hold a Michelin star, from THB 3,100
Two three-star kitchens, three two-star rooms and three one-star tables, ranked by how sure a bet each one actually is.
The queue for the elevator at lebua's State Tower starts before the sun is properly down, women in heels checking their phones, a bellhop who has clearly had this conversation forty times already about which floor is which restaurant. Two floors apart, two different Michelin two-stars are plating the same golden hour. That kind of density is the whole story of fine dining in Bangkok right now: a five-minute taxi ride can take you from a Chinatown shophouse doing twenty courses of Thai-Chinese food you've never heard of, to a modern German dining room in a converted villa, to a French kitchen with a river view.
What follows is ranked by Michelin tier first, three stars down to one, then within each tier by how much certainty you're actually buying when you book — proven consistency over a fresh promotion, a table you can get with a few weeks' notice over one that vanishes in seconds. Every star, price and address here comes from something confirmed this year or in the restaurant's own recent reporting; where a number couldn't be pinned down to something current, it's been left out rather than guessed at, because a made-up sitting time helps nobody standing at the host stand.
A note on the money: Bangkok's top kitchens hold their menu prices for stretches, but they do move, and the figures below are the most recently confirmed ones at time of writing. Ring ahead or check the restaurant's own site before you commit a card number, especially for the two three-stars, where a seat is worth more than the ego of getting the price exactly right.
Sorn
Sukhumvit Soi 26, Sukhumvit · Southern Thai · tasting menu around THB 7,200
Sorn was the first restaurant in Thailand to reach three Michelin stars, and it got there the hard way, holding two stars for five straight years before the promotion. The cooking is Southern Thai turned up to full volume — think Tapi River prawns and Phuket lobster arriving with a heat you can dial down if you ask. Book the moment reservations open; regulars describe it as closer to buying concert tickets than making a dinner reservation, with seats gone within seconds of release.
Chong Nonsi, Sathorn · Modern German · tasting menu THB 7,800–9,800
stockSühring is Thailand's second three-star, promoted in the 2026 guide after seven straight years at two stars — the longest apprenticeship of any kitchen on this list. Twin chefs Thomas and Mathias Sühring build the tasting menu around fermenting, pickling and curing techniques pulled from their own family recipes and childhood in East Berlin, which is a strange and genuinely rare thing to eat in Bangkok. It's booked out well in advance, and the restaurant itself says as much — reserve as early as your travel dates allow.
Côte by Mauro Colagreco
Capella Bangkok, Charoen Krung · French · tasting menu THB 6,200++
Promoted to two stars in the same round that gave Sorn its third, Côte is Mauro Colagreco's outpost of Mirazur-trained cooking dropped into a riverside hotel. There's a full vegetarian tasting menu offered as standard, with a vegan version available if you give the kitchen notice — unusual generosity at this level. It's the newest two-star on the list, so book as soon as your dates are fixed rather than assuming a hotel restaurant means walk-in flexibility.
Chef's Table
lebua State Tower, Silom Road · French · tasting menu around THB 7,000
Two Michelin stars, an open kitchen you can walk right up to mid-service, and a seven-course menu that leans on wagyu and seasonal Japanese produce inside a French frame. The room narrates every plate as it lands, which either charms you or doesn't. Reserve well ahead — this and its upstairs neighbor share a building, a reputation and, most nights, a fully booked diary.
Mezzaluna
lebua State Tower, 65th floor, Silom · French-Japanese · tasting menu — call ahead for current pricing
Mezzaluna has held two Michelin stars since the very first edition of the Thailand guide, which makes it the steadiest name on this list rather than the flashiest. The view from the 65th floor does a lot of the room's talking, but the plates — precise, French in technique, unmistakably Japanese in restraint — hold their own. Current tasting menu pricing wasn't confirmed recently enough to print here with confidence; call the restaurant directly before you book.
Vanich 1 Road, Samphanthawong, Chinatown · Thai-Chinese · 20-course tasting menu around THB 6,300
stockOne star, in a 120-year-old family home turned dining room in the middle of Chinatown, and a menu that runs to twenty courses over roughly three hours. Chef Pichaya 'Pam' Soontornyanakij built the restaurant on the traditional Chinese medicine dispensary her family used to run downstairs, and it shows in a menu that keeps circling back to fermentation and preservation. Reservations are genuinely competitive — expect to plan around whichever date the kitchen has open, not the other way round.
Paste
Gaysorn Village, Ploenchit Road, Lumpini · Thai · tasting menu — call ahead for current pricing
One Michelin star for a kitchen doing precise, research-heavy Thai cooking out of a shopping mall address that undersells it completely. Dinner runs as a set tasting menu rather than à la carte, and the signature roast duck dish is the one regulars order round for. Menu pricing here hasn't been confirmed recently enough to quote with confidence, so treat this as a reliable star with an unconfirmed number rather than skip it outright.
Silom Soi 7, Bang Rak · Modern Thai · tasting menu from THB 4,500 (six courses)
stockChef Ton's original Silom room has carried its Michelin star since 2018, cooking modern Thai food built on ingredient sourcing as much as technique — a six-glass kombucha pairing sits alongside the usual wine list, which tells you something about the kitchen's priorities. It's the most accessible booking on this list and closed on Sundays, which is worth building a trip around rather than discovering at the door.
