A city whose best meals range from a tasting menu in a restored house to a wok on a pavement — and both need planning
Bangkok received its first Michelin guide in 2018, and the selection has grown steadily since. In the current Thailand guide, announced on 27 November 2025, two restaurants hold three stars, both in Bangkok. Across the country there are also eight two-star and 33 one-star restaurants, and the Michelin star restaurants Bangkok offers cover most of the city’s culinary range.
This guide is a concierge’s view of how to choose among them and what to arrange early.
Sorn, which serves southern Thai cooking, and Sühring, a contemporary German restaurant run by the brothers Mathias and Thomas Sühring, are the only restaurants in Thailand with three stars. Sühring was promoted in the 2026 guide, having held two stars for seven consecutive years before that.
The two could hardly be more different, which is the reason to know both. Sorn is a study in regional Thai cooking at the highest level, and Sühring is a European tasting menu built by chefs who have spent years in Bangkok. Which suits a guest depends on whether the evening is meant to introduce the country or to offer a familiar language.
The two-star list in the 2026 guide includes Baan Tepa, Chef’s Table, Côte by Mauro Colagreco, Gaa, Inddee, Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie, Mezzaluna, and R-Haan. Several are inside hotels or towers, which makes them easier to combine with a stay.
Of the one-star restaurants, Gaggan, Le Du, Nahm, Bo.lan, and Sushi Saito are names guests often ask about. The best Michelin restaurants Bangkok has to offer are not a single ranking. They vary by cuisine, by setting, and by the type of evening you want.
Raan Jay Fai, the wok-fired seafood shop run by Supinya Junsuta, known as Jay Fai, received one star in the inaugural Bangkok guide, the 2018 edition, announced in December 2017. The shop had not taken reservations before the award; the demand that followed made a booking system necessary.
It is the clearest example of why the city needs planning. A pavement restaurant with a star behaves like a three-star table: the evening has to be reserved.
Tell us the dates and the occasion, and we will secure the table
The Bangkok Michelin guide is published annually, and the 2026 selection was announced in November 2025. Michelin announces the date of the next ceremony ahead of the event. Stars can be gained or lost, so we check the current guide with you before confirming a reservation.
We confirm the current star count, secure the table and the seating you prefer, and match the restaurant to the evening, not just the rating. Dietary needs, wine preferences, and celebrations are passed on in advance. A driver, an arrival plan that allows for Bangkok traffic, and the days around the meal are part of the same arrangement, and our fine dining and nightlife service looks after the other evenings of the trip. For a wider Asian route, see our guide to Michelin-starred restaurants in Singapore, or compare with Paris.

There is no single answer. The best Michelin restaurants Bangkok has to offer depend on the cuisine and the occasion, and we choose with you
For the three-star and two-star tables, several weeks ahead is sensible, and longer for weekends and peak travel periods. Smaller restaurants and street-food addresses can require even earlier planning
