Watching the chef at work
B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 07/12/2014
» Here in Bangkok there is a small restaurant — there is just one long table with seating for 12 — where the prices are well into the high-end range. There are just enough seats to accommodate an executive group. The layout is unusual, with a spacious kitchen in the same space as the dining area, so customers can view a cooking system that is orderly, clean and modern. The decor and lighting are attractively contemporary.

Balancing act
Guru, Pimchanok Phungbun Na Ayudhya, Published on 05/09/2014

A cut above
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 01/08/2014
» If your intention for the evening is to wander around town, spot this restaurant and pop in for a quick meal — forget it (because you’ll never find it). But if you’re looking for great steaks, an old-school menu and a chef with over 40 years of experience in the US, Knife & Fork Urban Bistro is undeniably worth the drive down the hidden soi. Everybody knows that dining in Thong Lor often leads to a debate about whether there’s actually any parking available or if you’ll have to walk home after being left penniless from all the fancy food and imported wine. It’s safe to say that Knife & Fork offers diners the best of both worlds with sheltered parking, enjoyable dishes and decent selections of Wagyu, Angus and even US Prime cuts — all for a price that won’t break your bank account.
