» The vibe at T & Bar, Thong Lor’s newest resto-cafe, is difficult to pin down. One side of the interior feels like an English garden. It’s decorated with wild flowers, colourful cushions and candles. The other side is industrial; the concrete wall has graffiti on it, dark chains and lights hang from the ceiling and spiky cacti sit on the tables.

Owned by six partners, T & Bar opened in February at Marketplace Thonglor. Flanked by upscale boutiques and vintage shops, its hideaway location – just follow the outdoor stone pathway – offers afternoon shoppers a convenient cosy/chic space to stop and relax with a meal or tea.
