What is it?: High atop the Pullman Hotel in Silom, Scarlett is one of the city’s longest-running and most consistent rooftop restaurants, with a chic bistro atmosphere and top-notch city and river views.
Why we love it: Rooftops in Bangkok are a tricky proposition – they are where you find both some of the best and some of the worst food in town. After all, with a selling point like the Bangkok skyline, it's easy for chefs to phone it in. Scarlett, thankfully, puts in the work. The approach is modern French in the best possible way, with Charolais beef as an option in addition to Australian Angus and both Japanese and Australian wagyu. And while the sauces are all good, the béarnaise is a cut above. For those who like their beef braised, the 12-hour wagyu beef cheek is also top-notch. They heavily promote their small plates and while they are pretty good, we recommend saving stomach real estate for a selection from their jawdroppingly good cheese counter. Order a bottle of something big and red from their decidedly Bordeaux-focused wine selection (plenty of good options for under B2,000) to wash it all down.
Time Out tip: A sunset view like this screams out for happy hour, and Scarlett has one of the city’s best and most wallet-friendly. So you can save a few baht on sundowners to justify spending a few extra on that steak.
Scarlett. Pullman Bangkok Hotel G. 88 Silom Road, Suriyawong, Bang Rak. 5pm-11.30pm
