You are definitely spoilt for choice when dining at the Lebua which is home to some of the most celebrated bars and restaurants in Bangkok. The Lebua is best known for its Sirocco Sky Bar, which has been made even more famous when part of the Hangover II movie was filmed there.
With spectacular views, live music and a chilled out atmosphere, it’s no wonder why there is such a fuss over this bar and why it has received worldwide recognition. Cocktails are on the expensive side but you’re paying for the view which is undeniably magnificent. From the bar you can see Chao Praya river winding its way through the city, the flashing lights of the cars and the buildings that seem to stretch for miles around you – the setting for a perfect evening.
For a wonderful meal we recommend Breeze; a fine dining alfresco restaurant where you can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy panoramic views of the city. With a superb selection of authentic Asian delicacies made from bold flavours, the freshest ingredients and by inspired techniques, each dish takes the contemporary to the extraordinary. The restaurant also serves the most remarkable cocktails.
A must try is the Experiment where an exciting science lab set with beakers and test tubes is brought to your table, allowing you to make a cocktail concoction to your own liking. Also if you are a fan of the movie you must try a Hangovertini which the hotels mixologists created especially in celebration of the film. If you have time try and have a drink at the bar when the sun sets. The way the dimming light hits the cityscape is absolutely beautiful and it’s the perfect opportunity to capture a view of the city skyline that will simply take your breath away.
Elsewhere, Mezzaluna offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of the city and river accompanied with masterly made culinary creations from Thomas and Mathias Suhrung.

You can also dine at the poolside from Cafe Mozu which serves up delectable dishes of the Western, Lebanese, India and Thai persuasion prepared by chefs from each region.
