Found between Sukhumvit Soi 59 and Soi 61 is The Gardens Bangkok — a restaurant on the grounds of the historic Dinsor Palace. The setting and architecture is truly beautiful, with the palace itself dual storey and in the colonial style. It was built in 1930 as a royal residence for HRH Princess Ramphai Prapa.
Executive chef is Autumn McTaggart, originally from Seattle, who draws heavily from French cuisine to design her dishes. There is a dinner, brunch and vegetarian menu available, all at reasonable prices.
