If you consider yourself an avid foodie, then you’re probably familiar with the delectable fare at long-established eatery Quince. The restaurant, which first opened about a decade ago on Soi Sukhumvit 45, was one of the very first dining establishments in Bangkok to champion produce-driven international cuisine and wood-fire cooking. The restaurant moved to multi-concept space Siri House in Chidlom a few years ago and recently came under the reins of American chef Steve Doucakis (formerly at Jean-Georges and Isa Restaurant in New York, as well as Little Donkey and Bunker in Bangkok). The restaurant’s essence, however, has not changed—Quince still serves mouth-watering and aromatic dishes with a hint of char. As it marks its 10th anniversary this year (which also coincides with its inclusion on the list of Asia’s best restaurants), Quince will host a celebration that sees the launch of an updated menu. Leading the pack of highly recommended dishes are Salmon Nori Taco (B190/piece), which stuffs seaweed tortilla with fresh salmon seasoned with spicy sesame aioli; and Australian Lamb Sweetbreads (B340), a perfectly cooked appetite-invigorating dish. Though you have lighter, healthier fare such as Endive & Comte Salad (B360), Quince’s expertise really lies in big and meaty dishes like Aged Duck Breast (B760), Spiced Lamb Rump (B650) and Diamantina Wagyu Hanger Steak (B1,080). A smoky flavor is also added to Quince’s new sweet release Milk Ice Cream & Burnt Orange (B180),...

Sushi Zo
Sushi Zo
Osaka-born sushi legend Keizo Seki introduced a more delicate approach to the American concept of raw fish and rice rolls when he opened the first Sushi Zo in West LA. The omakase-style eatery earned a Michelin star in 2009. After opening another branch in Los Angeles and one in New York, the much-praised sushi brand is set to raise the bar in Bangkok’s fine-dining scene with the opening of its fourth establishment (and the first Asian outpost) on bustling Wireless Road. Hidden behind an indistinctive blond wood door in the Plaza AthĂ©nĂ©e Tower, Sushi Zo’s kitchen is helmed by Toshi Onishi, the former executive chef at the downtown LA branch. Unlike the more popular edomae (traditional Tokyo) style, which highlights the essential flavors of the fish, Sushi Zo focuses on different kinds of ponzu and soy sauce to dress and marinate the fish, and mix two types of vinegars in the rice. The outcome is an interplay of contrasting sweet and sour notes and a well-balanced umami flavor that does not overpower the freshness of the fish, which are flown daily from Japan. Around 22 pieces of the freshest nigiri and sashimi take turns enticing your palate throughout the two-hour course. Our visit kicked off with an impressive sashimi platter consisting of Hokkaido oysters drenched in tangy-sweet ponzu sauce, scattered pieces of cornetfish (yagara), bluefin tuna and sweet shrimp drizzled and marinated with different condiments. The akami tuna was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with a...

What is it?: From the words 'Nan' (捗) meaning South and 'Bei' (挗) meaning North in Mandarin, Nan Bei at Rosewood Bangkok offers an authentic Chinese dining experience set against an imaginative art deco interior. Why we love it: Chinese culture is rich in legends and Nan Bei brings one of its most cherished tales to life. Inspired by the ‘Weaver Girl and the Cowherd’, the restaurant’s design reflects the romantic story of two lovers who can only meet once a year by crossing a sky bridge made of magpies. Upon entering through the moon gate, you’ll be greeted by an installation of 600 illuminated magpies in flight. The decor sets the stage for a remarkable dining experience. Executive Chef Matthew Geng has more than 27 years of experience delivering authentic cuisine at five-star establishments across China. With dishes sourced from both the north and the south, the restaurant showcases culinary traditions that highlight the country’s diversity. A must-try is Peking duck (B2,200), prepared in the traditional style dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1330 A.D.). Served tableside with thin pancakes, granulated sugar, sliced cucumbers, leeks and a sweet bean sauce, this dish is a true reflection of culinary craftsmanship. Time Out tip: While you're at Nan Bei, take a moment to enjoy a tea selection inspired by centuries of Chinese tea history. From the 13th century, when tea leaves were roasted and crumbled, to the 15th century’s creation of Oolong tea, this rich tradition is...
