    A restaurant for all seasons

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 15/08/2014

    » While the main arteries of the city remain clogged with traffic and chain restaurants, it's exciting to see the emergence of back-soi venues. Settled on a quiet block of the Silom banking district, Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant has been catering to an in-the-know clientele that likes to think outside the box, both in terms of location and menu, since opening in November. The boxy space has enough room for around 35 people in dainty surrounds that look more suited to high tea than gastro adventuring. The ornate room features a large viewing window into the kitchen, highlighting what is really on show here - the food. The night we visited was a little quiet, with a table or two of well-heeled Thais present - such is the trappings (and joy) of a destination venue.

    Comfort canteen

    Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 27/06/2014

    » Almost every inner Bangkok hood has an Italian restaurant by now. Good for you if you live in Narathiwat/Sathon (Sensi/Il Bolognese) or mid-Sukhumvit (Appia/Bella Napoli). But there are still some holes to fill and La Cantina was targeted at doing just that south of Asok on Sukhumvit Soi 16. It’s a curious soi, with plenty of local office worker traffic during the day and a trickle of punters at night, but just enough to keep La Cantina afloat from both services it seems. The modest cafe-style shophouse is courtesy of local expat Luca from Piemont, Italy. He has opened in a tough climate, as have many others. Inside is a homely spread of casual dining for around 35 pax with some very recognisable Italian emblems on show. It’s fuss-free and won’t woo a first date, but mightn’t have you recognised by any social media scourers either.

    » Strange days have indeed found us, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop enjoying ourselves in this fair city. We just need to be a little more creative about it. And while many staple venues have been closing cautiously early, certain others are bending the curfew boundaries, particularly local neighbourhood bars. Just ask around (and jump on Grab Taxi phone app if you need safe passage after hours). Still, some stoic organisers are bravely persisting. The show must go on, right? And while we definitely advise checking online before attending events to see if they are going ahead, here are some curfew-cautious tips for finding some action over the next week.
