Where does Vir Sanghvi eat in Bangkok? Vir Sanghvi has named 9 places in Bangkok: Yu Ting Yuan, Hinata, Biscotti, Guilty Bangkok, 100 Mahaseth and 4 more. Each one is listed below in their own words, with the source.

Vir Sanghvi is one of India’s best-known journalists, and his Rude Food column on eating out runs in the Hindustan Times’ Brunch magazine.

These are his picks, in his own words.

Yu Ting Yuan

Khet Sathon · Chinese · map

Not only is the restaurant visually stunning, the food is excellent.

Hinata

Khet Huai Khwang · Japanese · map

But I like it anyway because the sushi is good, the location is central and at lunchtime, sunlight shines into the small dining room.

Biscotti

Pathum Wan · Italian · map

Of all the many restaurants at the Anantara Siam hotel where I nearly always stay, my favourite is Biscotti.

Guilty Bangkok

Pathum Wan · Latin American · map

As you would expect, given his pedigree, the food is delicious and the restaurant is a lot of fun with a happy vibe.

100 Mahaseth

Khet Bang Rak · Thai · map

Chalee’s father is from South India though Chalee’s food at 100 Mahaseth, my favourite Bangkok restaurant, is largely northern Thai.

Nusara

I have had two great Thai meals in Bangkok recently. One was traditional Thai at Nusara.

Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh

Watthana · map

But it is also very good and the straight Indian food (cooked by members of Gaggan’s team) is outstanding.
