At the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok, the legendary steakhouse that used to be the gourmet pride of the institutional hotel brand’s New York headquarters, has been brought back to life.

The “Big Mango” now has access to the new Bull & Bear in Bangkok, which offers excellent grilled meats, impeccable service, and million-dollar views of Bangkok’s glittering city.
6. Chef’s Table

It is gold, it is exquisite, and securing a seat at this two-Michelin-star restaurant will be difficult—but don’t give up. Make a mental point to add this to your dating bucket list. A live cooking demonstration will create a cinematic experience once inside, while scrumptious meals will assure a full stomach.
Chef’s Table, the newest addition to the Lebua hotel’s upscale dining options, dazzles in every way a fine dining establishment should. The fact that it is on the 61st floor and operated by a chef who formerly worked at a three-Michelin-star establishment is the icing on the cake. It is a really sweet icing, to be specific.
Chef-d’oeuvre Vincent Thierry, a native of the Loire Valley, is no stranger to the fine-dining scene. He has worked at the famed Le Cinq Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris and as head chef at the Four Seasons Hong Kong’s Caprice restaurant, which was awarded three Michelin stars while he was in charge. Chef Vincent, with the help of sous chef Pierre Chomet, prepares French classics that rely on the flavours of locally sourced vegetables. The meats and other proteins are an exception because they are imported from Europe to maintain the required high level of eating quality.
If you tell your date that you will be going to an amazing French-Japanese restaurant, their mouths may drop, but informing them that it will be at Elements may make them drool. This one-Michelin-star restaurant features a sleek black décor, breathtaking views of Bangkok, and some of the best fine-dining fusion food the city has to offer.
Elements, inspired by Ciel Bleu, on the 25th floor of The Okura Prestige Bangkok, works in cooperation with The Okura Prestige Amsterdam’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant of the same name. Ciel Blue is known for combining French and Japanese cuisines to offer a unique dining experience.
Elements’ kitchen is presently run by Gerard Villaret Horcajo, a Spanish chef who formerly worked at Ciel Bleu in Amsterdam. Many of the dishes in the restaurant’ new Spring Gastronomic Set Journey, which comes in three flavors: Ku-Ki Experience, Chikyu Experience, and Mizu Experience, highlight his love of nose-to-tail cooking.
8. Le Du

Although the name suggests a fancy French restaurant, Le Du’s menu is influenced by Thai cuisine. Chef Ton is a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and a veteran of some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens. These top kitchens include The Eleven Madison Park and Jean-Georges, and Chef Ton opened Le Du in Bangkok in 2013, intending to redefine Thai cuisine. The second story of Le Du has just opened, with a softly lit contemporary eating space designed by Ekkasit Jaeng-again and more spacious chairs.
9. Medici
The Medici, where you may spend a passionate night with your loved one, is proof that Italians are masters of romance. You will be treated to a performance by FIVERR, Thailand’s first pop-opera band, in addition to great Italian cuisine and a seductive environment.
This fine-dining establishment has long been one of our favorites for Italian cuisine, and it never disappoints. Even tried-and-true formulas need to be adjusted now and then, which is why Medici chose to revamp its menu. This time by combining the flavours and styles of food from France, Spain, and Italy to give a Mediterranean fare with a more contemporary twist. Chef Bart Cywinski is now in command of the kitchen, previously having worked at a variety of prominent restaurants across the world. This includes The Grill at The Dorchester in London and the Michelin-starred JAAN in Singapore.
Those who have dined at Medici previously will recognize the dark and dramatic neo-classical décor. For those who have not been, imagine The Great Gatsby’s opulent splendour paired with a bar scene from any 1970s gangster film to get a feel of what to anticipate. Choose a seat near the brightly lit open kitchen if you want to see your dinner being made right in front of your eyes.
Conclusion
To sum it up these are the few places that guarantee you a lovely romantic experience, providing you the complete package of amazing food prepared by world-renowned chefs, amazing views, and ambiances that remains unbeaten.
