    Three times a lady

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 21/02/2014

    » Continuing the move southside, Lady Brett is the latest in a slew of new venues luring punters to fresher pastures of the city. Positioned right next door to popular brunch haunt Rocket, her stylish appearance and demeanour confirm she indeed has the same team in support. She’s as upwardly mobile as her namesake character from Hemingway novel The Sun Also Rises and the 1920s New York tavern interior is the perfect mise-en-scene for such a lady to cast her discerning social eye over. It’s cavernous, with plenty of natural timbers and only a small window at the front to seal in the atmosphere. With seating enough for 35 diners, it’s boisterous and intimate at the same time, with the tables for two nestled cosily near each other without being intrusive.

    Up in the air

    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 28/02/2014

    » Given the many rooftop places in Bangkok, finding a good one is like figuring out which of the zillions of cars on the street below belongs to your friend from the height of 30-something floors with your naked eye. Zoom is the latest entry to the high-altitude market and it proves to be worth the 40-floor elevator ride to get there. Decor-wise, Zoom keeps it minimal and modern as if not to compete with the mesmerising panoramic view of the city below. The open-air venue offers three zones. For an intimate LED-lit dinner, we recommend the lower level where you can lounge on big comfy couches. Head upstairs to the bar to get your drink on. The patrons are mostly hotel guests and execs in the area.

    Bad Bangkokian behaviours

    Guru, Sumati Sivasiamphai, Published on 28/02/2014

    » Since it seems that anyone can appoint themselves as a leader of anything these days, I’ve also decided to join the power trip. However my mission doesn’t involve shutting down a city, or protesting over inane things like the fact that it’s way too hot right now.

    Tasty island treats

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 31/01/2014

    » With a name that means island in Thai (in case you missed it), a big element here is, you guessed it, the tranquil and tropical surrounds that Samui is now world-famous for. Designed by the famous Bensley Design Studio, the restaurant and bar is perched high up at the deluxe resort so takes in all the villas and jungle right down to the beach and beyond. It's definitely distracting enough to abandon any monetary sensibilities for a meal. The deck is open-air, exposed to the elements to maximise the scenery, and the gentle breeze lets your big-city worries recede quickly into the background. Most people are too distracted by the view to notice the design of the structure with its natural timbers and black marble. The space is big enough for about 70 diners, mostly of which stay in the resort even though its open to outside visitors (tick).
