Want to eat a burger the size of your head? How about a roasted beet (yes, beet) carpaccio on puff pastry with blue cheese, pears and walnuts? The recently revamped Tawa Bistro at De Naga Hotel is the perfect place to settle in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks. The atmosphere is stylish but unpretentious, with a lovely outdoor covered terrace lined with bamboo, cosy indoor seating and a glassed-in kitchen where you can watch expert Chef Wichit work his magic. With decades of experience at various high-end resorts throughout Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Chef Wichit has concocted the perfect east meets west menu of Thai, western and fusion favourites priced at 120 – 350 baht a plate. The BBQ chicken tastes just like mom used to make and the seafood risotto is rich and delicious. Tawa also features a full bar of fanciful cocktails as well as live jazz from 8 – 10 p.m. every weekend night.
