Review

Din Restaurant and Jazz Bar is located at the charmingly bohemian Baan Tuk Din Hotel in the heart of Rattanakosin. This comfortable venue delivers a blend of Thai flavours, comforting international dishes, and live jazz in an elegant and laid-back setting perfect for an evening retreat in old Bangkok. Kung mae nam tod gluea takes centre stage on the menu. These salt-fried succulent river prawns with jasmine rice cooked in prawn oil bring a lovely briny-tinged sweetness, balanced by a vibrant seafood dipping sauce highlighting Thai flavours at their finest. Shrimp pasta impresses with plump shrimp in a tangy, rich tomato sauce packed full of Italian soul, successfully maintaining a lightness, enabling the seafood to shine through. Next up, a thick and juicy pork chop served in creamy mushroom sauce, with sautéed spinach and buttery mashed potatoes; the epitome of familiar comfort. Signature salmon and beef Wellington dishes require pre-ordering but are well worth the effort. An elegant bar adds another layer to the experience, with carefully crafted inventive cocktails and a concise selection of wines. Din Restaurant and Jazz Bar is undoubtedly a charming escape into Bangkok’s heritage, where food, music, and ambience combine. This spot is a delightfully understated choice for those seeking an evening that feels both relaxed and refined.
