Restaurant LØYROM
Restaurant LØYROM is tucked away in the Klong Tan neighbourhood near Phrom Phong, and while it is a little bit of a walk from the BTS station, it is well worth the trip. Named after the prised Nordic fish roe, LØYROM brings modern Norwegian-inspired cuisine to life with a fun, Asian twist.

Villa Frantzén Restaurant
This one is a bit of a splurge, but worth it for the experience. Villa Frantzén brings a slice of Nordic sophistication to Bangkok, blending Swedish charm with a bit of Asian flair. Expect dishes that encourage you to embrace the Swedish saying of små smulor är också bröd (“even small crumbs are bread”) — a reminder to savor every delicious bite (or sip, if you’re drinking!).
Part of Björn Frantzén’s world-renowned restaurant empire, this Bangkok outpost continues the legacy of its Michelin-starred predecessors, emphasising fresh ingredients and exceptional craftsmanship. For a classy twist on an old favourite, be sure to try the house French Toast, served with vendace roe, pickled onions, and Swedish Västerbotten cheese. Or try the grilled dry-aged duck from Klong Phai Farm, which features a punch of local makwaen spice and comes served in style. It’s so gorgeous you’ll hardly want to eat it (but you should, it’s delightful).
Location: 7 Soi Yen Akat 3, Chong Nonsi, Yan Nawa, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10120, Thailand
Hours: everyday, 5:30pm – 11:30pm
