Table 1749 is a fresh, creative incubator designed for culinary talents to take center stage and showcase their personal passions. Kicking off the space’s debut is Philipp Prinzbach, the head chef of Maison Dunand, who is using his hiatus from the Michelin-starred kitchen to embark on a solo endeavor here.

Chef Philipp has introduced the Culinary Passport concept—a globetrotting journey delivered via a four-course tasting menu (B2,400++). The fun begins the moment you sit down: instead of reading a list, you’re asked to choose your menu based on the scents that resonate with you most. Once you’ve made your choice, you’re handed a boarding pass for the city that inspires your meal. The best part? You and your dining companions might end up on completely different culinary journeys.

From the moment you pick your path, the entire experience takes about an hour, making it a perfectly paced, high-concept dining session for those who want fine-dining quality without the four-hour commitment.

Following the success of sister restaurants An Com An Ca and Slay Yuan, Bánh Mimi is the latest addition to the iBerry Group’s Vietnamese portfolio. Located on the G floor of Siam Paragon, this new opening is tailor-made for the lunchtime crowd and those looking for a high-quality takeaway meal.

The group tapped Chef Chalee Kader to help curate a menu that breathes new life into Vietnamese staples—starting with the ubiquitous Bánh Mi. The baguettes here hit that perfect sweet spot: a crisp crust with a soft, airy texture. They are stuffed generously with your choice of protein, from smoky grilled pork and savory meatballs to indulgent crispy pork belly. A zesty Vietnamese-style pickle adds a spicy, bright kick to every bite.

If you’re after something more throat-warming, Bánh Mimi also serves up bowls of Pho with chicken or beef. And for the truly ravenous? There’s a combo option that lets you have the best of both worlds—the noodles and the sandwich.

While Nordic food hasn’t always shared the spotlight in Bangkok’s mainstream dining scene, Smør Bangkok is here to change the narrative. Led by a team of international chefs—including a Nordic native—the restaurant showcases the region’s distinct gastronomic culture through a mastery of fermentation, smoking, and precise temperature control. The menu offers a genuine glimpse into a different world, featuring ingredients like reindeer heart, cleverly transformed into a rich, umami-packed spread.

For those new to these northern flavors, the à la carte menu is the perfect starting point. We recommend the Sunchoke & Duck Egg (B450), featuring a decadent one-hour-poached yolk, and the Duck Confit Brioche (B150), where tender confit is tucked inside a perfectly buttery bun. However, the ultimate showstopper is the Grilled Seabass (B980)—dry-aged Thai fish that has been smoked and finished over aromatic charcoal and wood.

If you’re looking for a deeper dive, Smør Bangkok also offers a full tasting menu for dinner, providing an atmospheric Nordic dining experience that remains a rare find in the city.

From here on out, it’s Sister Bank or Jae Bank, not Chef Bank. This mastermind behind smoke-focused chef’s table Arom Kwan, Chef Witchanu “Bank” Prempuk, has officially entered the buzzy food arena at EM WONDER, ready to go toe-to-toe with the legendary Jaes of the Isaan food scene.

Jae Bank is a space that fully embraces the fun. The walls are decked with vibrant Isan posters and quirky local lore—take a seat by P’ Saksit, a sacred zebra wrapped in three-colored ribbons said to guarantee successful business deals, or visit P’ Thongsoi, the golden horse worshipped for a bountiful harvest.

But don’t let the playfulness fool you; the cooking is serious. Leveraging his grilling-slash-smoking expertise, Jae Bank utilizes a Kopa grill—often called the Ferrari of the grilling world—to deliver unparalleled depth to his barbecue dishes. By blending professional smoking techniques with traditional Isaan heat, Jae Bank ensures that his grilled offerings are second to none in the neighborhood.

Straight from the posh Gangnam district, Conte De Tulear has officially touched down at Siam Paragon. While many know it as a Seoul crowd-pleaser, few realize this lifestyle brand began as a boutique perfumery in Itaewon. Today, it has evolved into a stylish one-stop destination for beauty products, home essentials, and a legendary brunch menu.

This Bangkok outpost perfectly mirrors the aesthetic atmosphere of the Gangnam original—and the menu follows suit. You can’t miss their iconic Kimchi Fried Rice (B500), elevated with generous slices of fresh avocado, or the Crab Cream Pasta (B490), which features a crispy, deep-fried soft-shell crab that provides a satisfying crunch against the silky pasta. For a fusion standout, try the Pulled Pork Onion Ring with Focaccia (B580)—a dish that tastes even more impressive than its name suggests. To finish, the Chocolate Mousse (B310) is a must; its intentionally messy whipped cream presentation makes it as edgy as it is indulgent.
