    » Bangkok is a city that constantly sees new constructions reaching up to the sky.

Over the recent years, such places have been popping up more and we hope they continue to.

    Flavours of the Mediterranean

    Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 29/11/2019

    » Nestled inside a residential village off Rama IX, the whitewashed two-storey house gives the impression of a Greek restaurant that is fresh and contemporary-looking. Inside, the gleam of brass light fixtures against bleached stone walls creates a classy feel; while dark wooden furniture and granite floors tone that down a little for a casual, homey vibe. The scheme of ocean blue runs throughout the place in the form of comfy cushions and blue glassware, which help bring a touch of flair to the rather neutral-toned dining room. The restaurant is spacious, with space for 100 diners. However, this doesn't mean reservations are not needed.
