Rooftop Restaurant Bangkok

What is the best rooftop restaurant in Bangkok?

The lift opens on the 65th floor and the river is a thin gold line far below. Mezzaluna by lebua is the best rooftop restaurant in Bangkok for a special dinner, with two stars in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026. For Thai food with a view, book Le Du Kaan. For a relaxed sunset steak, book Penthouse Bar + Grill.

Rooftop dining in Bangkok comes down to two things: the view and the food. Many rooftops are bars with snacks. Every table on our list serves a full dinner worth booking on its own, with the city lights behind it. For drinks only, see our guide to Bangkok rooftop bars.

Choose by area as well as by menu. State Tower, with Mezzaluna, Sirocco and Sky Bar, is in Bang Rak near the river. Le Du Kaan, Ojo and Vertigo are in Silom and Sathorn, the business district; see our guide to Silom and Sathorn. Red Sky, Penthouse and AKARA are in the shopping district around Ratchaprasong and Phloen Chit. Above Eleven and Cielo serve Sukhumvit. Traffic crawls at sunset, so the closest good table wins.

Which to book for which guest? A proposal or anniversary: Mezzaluna. A family dinner with children of any age: Sirocco. Business guests who want Thai food: Le Du Kaan or Aksorn. Friends who want a lively night: Above Eleven or AKARA Sky Hanuman.

Bangkok's best rooftop restaurants, picked

Our twelve picks cover every mood, from two-MICHELIN-star fine dining to a casual sunset grill. Mezzaluna leads for a big occasion, Le Du Kaan and Aksorn for Thai food, and Penthouse Bar + Grill for steak. All were checked on the venue's own website and against the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026.

Mezzaluna by lebua. State Tower, 65th floor, Bang Rak. Two MICHELIN stars (2026 guide). Fine dining with a view over the river. Our verdict: the table to book for a proposal or a milestone. Open Monday to Saturday from 17:30; closed Sunday. Smart elegant dress; children aged 7 and above are welcome with an adult.

Sirocco by lebua. State Tower, 63rd floor. The classic open-air rooftop, not in the 2026 guide. Smart casual, and children of all ages are welcome, which makes it our family pick.

Le Du Kaan. The Empire, 56th floor, Sathorn. The table for Thai cooking with a skyline view, at lunch and dinner, with a bar until 01:00. Smart casual dress; not in the 2026 guide.

Aksorn. Charoenkrung Road, Bang Rak. One MICHELIN star (2026 guide) for its Thai cooking, with a rooftop bar. Dinner from 18:00 to 22:00 daily.

Ojo Bangkok. The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, 76th floor, the highest table on our list. Book it when the view is the point of the night. Selected in the 2026 guide. Lunch and dinner daily; smart casual.

Penthouse Bar + Grill. Park Hyatt Bangkok, above Central Embassy. A grill and a relaxed bar, with lunch, dinner and a Sunday brunch from 11:30 to 15:00.

Red Sky Restaurant & Bar. Centara Grand at CentralWorld, 55th floor, Ratchaprasong. Open from 17:00 to 01:00; smart casual. Not in the 2026 guide.

Scarlett Wine Bar & Restaurant. Pullman Bangkok Hotel G, Level 37, Silom. A wine-led menu; casual chic, with no flip-flops or tank tops.

Above Eleven. Fraser Suites Sukhumvit, 33rd floor, Sukhumvit Soi 11. A lively rooftop open every day from 17:00 to 02:00. Gentlemen need closed shoes and sleeved shirts.

AKARA Sky Hanuman. One City Centre, 58th to 61st floors, Phloen Chit. A newer rooftop spread over three levels, with mirrored and glass-floor rooms; casual dress and comfortable shoes.

Cielo Sky Bar & Restaurant. Sky Walk Residences, Sukhumvit 69 to 71. Open every day from 17:30 to 01:00, for guests staying in east Sukhumvit.

Vertigo and Moon Bar. Banyan Tree Bangkok, 61st floor, Sathorn. Being renovated; it reopens on 2 December 2026.

For the city's starred tables at ground level, see our MICHELIN restaurants in Bangkok. The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2027 is revealed on 10 November 2026, and we update every star here after that date.

Timing matters on a rooftop. Book a table for about half an hour before sunset. You then see the city in daylight, at sunset and lit up at night in one dinner.

Is Sky Bar Bangkok worth it?

Yes, for one drink at sunset. Sky Bar by lebua, on the 64th floor of State Tower, has one of the most famous views in Bangkok. It opens from 17:00 to 00:30, with smart casual dress, and children aged 7 and above are welcome with an adult. For dinner, book Mezzaluna or Sirocco instead.

Arrive before sunset for a good spot at the rail, and expect crowds. Then take the stairs one floor up to dinner at Mezzaluna. Two of the city's best rooms, one building, no car needed.

If the queue is long or the weather turns, book Sirocco, one floor below. It gives you the same view with a seat and dinner. We can book both in one evening.

Sky Bar is a bar, not a restaurant, so plan dinner elsewhere. Snacks are served until midnight, but for a full meal with the same view, a table at Sirocco or Mezzaluna is the better choice.

What should you wear, and do you need to book?

Wear smart casual: a collared shirt or a smart dress, with closed shoes. Mezzaluna asks for smart elegant dress, and some rooftops refuse shorts, sleeveless shirts for men, sandals or flip-flops. Book sunset tables several days ahead, especially at weekends and in the cool season.

Most menus are marked "++". The Department of Internal Trade says service charge should be 10% or less, and VAT of 7% is added on top. Ask whether a price is "++" or "net" before you order.

Booking tips: give your full name and phone number, arrive ten minutes early, and tell the restaurant about any celebration. Window and edge tables are few, and the best ones go to whoever books first. When a table looks full, we can often still get you in.

Open-air terraces may close in heavy rain or strong wind, and storms are common from June to October. Ask us for a table under cover in the rainy season, or keep a back-up indoors.

Children are welcome at some rooftops and not others. Sirocco welcomes children of all ages, while Mezzaluna, Sky Bar and The Flute Bar at lebua welcome children aged 7 and above with an adult. Above Eleven applies its dress code to children too.

How we choose

A rooftop makes this list only when the food matches the view. We check each one on its own website and against the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026. We re-check the list every three months and never accept payment for a place.

A rooftop closes or changes name more often than most restaurants. A rooftop that closes leaves this list at the next check. Mahanakhon SkyBar, for example, has closed; the MahaNakhon observation deck is a separate place.

Plan it with Tanner

Tanner books your sunset table and a car and driver for the evening. One planner also books the rest of the night: a cocktail bar, a club or a quiet nightcap, for two of you or twenty. Our Thai team knows which edge tables are worth asking for, and which famous rooftops are not worth the queue. Our luxury chauffeur service covers the drive, and our Bangkok dining guide has more tables. Name the date and the party, and we set the evening from sunset to the last course.

Example plan: the car collects you at sunset for a drink at Sky Bar. Dinner is at Mezzaluna, one floor up. Then a jazz bar or a club in Sathorn or Sukhumvit. The car waits all evening and takes you home whenever you are ready.
