Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand
Sky-high French tasting menu, hard to book.
Chef's Table holds Michelin 2 Stars and a Les Grandes Tables du Monde accreditation, serving French Contemporary tasting menus from the 61st floor of State Tower with one of Bangkok's deepest French wine programmes (1,800 bottles). Dinner-only, Tuesday to Sunday. Book six to eight weeks ahead minimum — this is a Near Impossible table to secure at short notice.
Dinner at Chef's Table costs ฿฿฿฿ per head and delivers a Michelin 2-star French Contemporary tasting menu from the 61st floor of State Tower, with city views that are difficult to find anywhere else at this altitude in Bangkok. For a special occasion where setting and serious cooking need to coexist, this is the most credentialled option in the city. The caveat: it opens only for dinner, Tuesday through Sunday, and securing a table requires planning weeks in advance. If you are looking for a comparable level of French technique with less booking friction, Maison Dunand and Elements, Inspired by Ciel Bleu are worth considering. But if the occasion demands the full package — altitude, wine depth, and cooking that has earned consecutive Michelin recognition since at least 2023 — Chef's Table is the answer.
Chef's Table sits on the 61st floor of Lebua at State Tower on Si Lom Road, and the design of the room reflects that position. Tables are angled toward the Bangkok skyline, the open kitchen is the architectural focal point, and the mood runs calm and deliberate rather than celebratory in the loud sense. Chef Vincent Thierry leads the kitchen through a sequence of hot and cold dishes that draw on French technique while incorporating artisan produce from a local farm. The cheese trolley, which closes the savoury portion of the meal, is built around both fine imports and local selections , a detail that separates the programme from the more direct French import model you find at restaurants like Savelberg or J'AIME by Jean-Michel Lorain.
The wine programme is one of the strongest in Bangkok at this tier. Sommelier Kristell Milla oversees 440 selections across an inventory of 1,800 bottles. The list is weighted toward Burgundy and Bordeaux, with pricing in the $$$ range , meaning a meaningful portion of bottles sit above the $100 mark. A corkage fee of $75 applies if you bring your own. For guests who treat wine as central to the evening rather than a supplement, this depth is a genuine differentiator. The comparable wine programmes in Bangkok at the ฿฿฿฿ tier, such as at Sühring, do not match this inventory breadth in French appellations specifically.
The awards record gives you a clear read on where this kitchen sits. Michelin 2 Stars in both 2024 and 2025, a Les Grandes Tables du Monde award in 2025, 85.5 points on La Liste's Leading Restaurants ranking, and a World's Leading Wine Lists accreditation. Opinionated About Dining placed it 91st in Asia in 2023, 89th in 2024, and 95th in 2025 , a gradual movement in the rankings that reflects consistent rather than accelerating momentum. Google reviews sit at 4.5 from 167 ratings, which for a venue at this price point and booking difficulty signals reliable execution rather than occasional brilliance.
Chef's Table does not serve lunch. Hours run Tuesday to Sunday, 6 pm to midnight, with Monday closed entirely. This matters for two reasons. First, the value comparison that applies to many tasting-menu restaurants , a lunch service at a lower price point for the same kitchen , does not exist here. You are paying full dinner prices regardless of when in the week you visit. Second, the setting is calibrated for evening: the skyline view at night, with the city lit below the 61st floor, is the visual context the room was designed around. A daytime visit, if it existed, would be a materially different experience. The evening-only format is not a limitation so much as a deliberate positioning decision, and it aligns correctly with the special-occasion diner this restaurant is built for.
If you are comparing dinner at Chef's Table against dinner at Bangkok's other top-tier options, the no-lunch policy means your only decision is whether this is the right evening, not whether to save by coming midday. Budget accordingly: at ฿฿฿฿ with wine pairings from a $$$-rated list, a dinner for two with a modest wine selection will reach a total that places this among the most expensive meals in the city.
Getting a table here is genuinely difficult. Pearl rates booking difficulty as Near Impossible, and the combination of Michelin recognition, a 2025 Les Grandes Tables du Monde accreditation, and a high-altitude room with finite covers explains why. Plan for a minimum of several weeks lead time; for peak dates , Friday and Saturday evenings, public holidays, New Year's Eve , considerably more. The address is 1055 Si Lom Road, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, within the State Tower building. Arriving via BTS at Saphan Taksin or taxi from the Silom area is direct. The restaurant is part of the Lebua hotel, and the tower's ground-floor access adds a deliberate sense of arrival before you reach the 61st floor. Dress expectations at a venue of this category in Bangkok typically run smart to formal; confirm specifics when making your reservation.

For French Contemporary cooking in Asia at a comparable standard, Odette in Singapore and Amber in Hong Kong are the nearest regional peers. Within Thailand, PRU in Phuket offers a similarly produce-driven fine dining approach at a lower price tier. For a broader view of what Bangkok's fine dining scene offers beyond French kitchens, Sorn represents the city's most decorated Thai cooking and is worth booking alongside Chef's Table if you are spending multiple evenings in the city.
Yes, for the specific diner it is built for. Two Michelin stars, a Les Grandes Tables du Monde accreditation, and one of Bangkok's deepest French wine programmes at 1,800 bottles justify the ฿฿฿฿ pricing if you are looking for a formal tasting menu at altitude with serious wine support. If the view is irrelevant to you and you want pure cooking value, Maison Dunand delivers Michelin-level French technique at a comparable price without the setting premium.
The format here is a tasting menu, and it is the only format on offer , a sequence of hot and cold dishes with cheese trolley service and optional wine pairing. Given the Michelin 2-star standing and the wine programme depth, the pairing option is worth taking seriously. The per-head cost with pairings will be high, but the sommelier-curated structure is part of what the kitchen is designed around. If you want a la carte French cooking in Bangkok, look at Elements, Inspired by Ciel Bleu instead.
It is one of the strongest special-occasion choices in Bangkok at the leading price tier. The 61st-floor setting, the Michelin 2-star pedigree, and the sommelier-led wine service create a format that works for anniversaries, significant birthdays, and high-stakes business dinners. The evening-only hours (6 pm to midnight, Tuesday to Sunday) mean the experience is always a dinner, which suits the occasion framing. For a celebration that wants Thai cooking rather than French, Sorn is the other serious option at the same price tier.
Chef's Table serves dinner only, Tuesday to Sunday from 6 pm. There is no lunch service, so the comparison does not apply here. The evening-only format means the full experience , skyline view after dark, full tasting menu, wine pairing , is available every time you visit. If a daytime fine dining option matters for your schedule, consider J'AIME by Jean-Michel Lorain, which operates a lunch service.
Book as early as possible , Pearl rates this as Near Impossible to secure. For weekend evenings or special dates, aim for six to eight weeks ahead at minimum. The combination of Michelin 2-star recognition, a limited number of covers at altitude, and consistent award visibility means last-minute availability is rare. If you cannot secure a date, Elements, Inspired by Ciel Bleu and Savelberg operate at the same Bangkok fine dining tier with somewhat more accessible reservations.
The database does not confirm a bar seating option at Chef's Table. The room is designed around the open kitchen as its focal point, with tables angled to the skyline, which suggests a table-service format rather than counter or bar dining. Confirm directly with the restaurant when booking whether any alternative seating is available.
No specific dietary restriction policy is confirmed in the available data. Given the tasting menu format and the kitchen's level of accreditation, it is standard practice at restaurants of this tier to accommodate dietary requirements when notified at the time of booking. Contact the restaurant directly when reserving to discuss any requirements , the format is a set sequence, so advance notice is more important here than at an a la carte venue.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
The venue database does not specify a formal dietary restriction policy, but a Michelin 2-star tasting menu kitchen with an open kitchen format and a dedicated sommelier in Kristell Milla typically accommodates dietary needs when notified at booking. check the venue's official channels at the time of reservation and confirm again 48 hours before your dinner. Do not assume flexibility on the night itself.
Pearl rates booking difficulty as Near Impossible — plan for at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance, and longer around holidays or weekends. Michelin 2-star recognition, a 2025 Les Grandes Tables du Monde listing, and a ranking of #95 in Opinionated About Dining Asia mean demand consistently outpaces supply. If you have a fixed travel date, book before you book your flights.
The venue data does not confirm bar seating as a separate dining option. The room centres on an open kitchen with tables angled toward the skyline, which suggests the experience is structured around the tasting menu format. If counter or bar access matters to you, verify directly with the restaurant before booking.
For a French Contemporary tasting menu format, yes — if that format suits you. Chef Vincent Thierry runs a Michelin 2-star kitchen at the 61st-floor level, with sommelier Kristell Milla curating wine pairings across a list of 440 selections and 1,800 bottles strong in Burgundy and Bordeaux. The cheese trolley featuring local artisan produce adds a course that most Bangkok tasting menus skip. If you prefer à la carte or a single-cuisine focus, Sühring's German-French tasting menu or Sorn's Thai omakase are more narrowly specialised alternatives.
At ฿฿฿฿ with Michelin 2-star credentials, a 2025 Les Grandes Tables du Monde award, a 440-bottle wine list priced at $$$, and a $75 corkage fee for BYO, the price point is high but supported by verifiable recognition. The 61st-floor setting is included, not an add-on. For comparison, Côte by Mauro Colagreco offers a similar French Contemporary register, so weigh both before committing. Chef's Table justifies the cost most clearly for diners who want wine pairings built into the experience.
Yes, and specifically for occasions where the room itself matters as much as the food. The 61st-floor panoramic setting, calm atmosphere, and structured tasting menu with wine pairings make it a strong choice for milestone dinners or client entertainment where the environment needs to carry weight. For a more intimate occasion without the skyline theatrics, Baan Tepa or Gaa offer tighter, chef-focused formats at comparable prestige levels.
Dinner is the only option. Chef's Table operates Tuesday to Sunday from 6 pm to midnight, with no lunch service and Mondays closed entirely. Plan your visit accordingly — late evening bookings give you the full skyline effect after dark, which is the format the room is designed around.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
