Curious about “must-try” breakfast or brunch places? Worry no more, we’ve curated a list for you because we know that nothing is better than waking up to good food to make your entire day as bright as ever.
1/5 Et1.5 (Lat Phrao)
Et1.5 is a newly opened brunch restaurant in Lat Phrao Soi 15, which also serves dinner. This unique restaurant is committed to protecting the environment. “Et” is an old word for “eat,” and “1.5” refers to the international agreement to keep the global average surface temperature from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Every dish in the restaurant is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. The first concept is “locavore,” which means using locally sourced ingredients. The second is zero waste, and the third is the reduction of livestock farming, with menu items made from insects or spirulina, and vegan options available.
Open daily 11am – 9pm
2/5 On Lok Yun (Charoen Krung)
On Lok Yun is a Thai-style American breakfast restaurant that has been open for more than 80 years. It is situated in an old shophouse that retains the atmosphere of the old era. In earlier times, it was typically frequented by political enthusiasts, while during the day, amulet collectors would gather. In the evenings, workers would come to discuss politics, and later, people would watch movies and drink coffee, as it is near the Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre.
The menu includes eggs with a choice of bacon, ham, sausage, or Chinese sausage, along with toast, coffee, and tea.
Open daily 6am – 2.30pm
3/5 Okonomi (Sukhumvit)
