Indulging in dishes at Michelin-starred restaurants is the dream of many. Here are some affordable Michelin restaurants in Bangkok for tourists visiting Thailand.
1. Bo.lan is the restaurant owned by the couple of chefs Duangyh Songvisava (Bo) and Dylan Jones (lan), specializing in serving Royal Thai cuisine for nearly a decade. The dishes are always preserved in traditional flavors but presented in a modern style.
When visiting Michelin restaurants in Bangkok, you must try the cocktails made from traditional Thai spirits such as Chao Pra Ya (liquor made from rice, ginger, and kumquat), tom kamin gai baan, spicy turmeric soup made from chicken, or gaeng krau sii krong moo (pork rib curry)... The dishes here range from $5.6 USD.
Chim by Siam Wisdom proudly stands as one of the rare Michelin-starred restaurants globally, distinguished for its three-course lunch menu. The talented chef of the restaurant, Mr. Thaninthorn, has spent 14 years working at some renowned addresses in London, including Zuma, Roka, Patterson, Momo, and Sketch.
You can explore various exquisite flavors at the restaurant by opting for set menus. The traditional tom yum cooked with river fish and curry dishes are must-tries here. The average price at Chim by Siam Wisdom is $11 per person for lunch set menus and $14 for à la carte meals.
Jay Fai is where you encounter a living legend in Bangkok. It officially became the third street food eatery worldwide to clinch a Michelin star in 2017. The head chef of Jay Fai, a 70-year-old lady, always greets diners wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat. She masterfully handles the food on blazing hot pans like a conductor leading an orchestra at night.
If your wallet is tight, you might want to think twice before stepping into Jay Fai as the prices can be up to 10 times higher than your regular Thai-Chinese stir-fry joint. However, the top-notch cuisine along with the unique nightlife experience in Thailand that Jay Fai offers is what keeps crowds lining up to savor it night after night. The cheapest dish starts from $14.
Nahm: Situated within the luxurious COMO Metropolitan hotel, Nahm is renowned worldwide for its sophisticated and high-class Thai cuisine. The Australian chef, David Thompson, brings a wealth of experience to the table, elevating traditional Thai dishes to new heights.
