Dining

The Bangkok Trading Post, located at the lobby of the hotel serves a selection of international pastries and casual cafe style food. The bistro gives off a minimalistic feel with its chic custom-made furniture and trendy marble tables. Guests can also opt for the breezy and laid back al fresco seating with views of the photogenic pavilion and a big fish pond, definitely a perfect place for brunch or an afternoon tea with friends.

Highly recommended is signature starter Blackened Tuna Tataki, tender and appetizing served with salad mix of grains, raisins, tomatoes, herbs and black pepper mayonnaise. Popular for mains would be the crowd favourite Frutti di Mare, a tomato based pizza topped with garlic prawns, mussels, tuna and squid liken to a seafood platter on top of a pizza. Definite must try for dessert is the Mocha Lava Pudding, served with very richly whipped mascarpone and honey ice cream. A luscious ending to your meal.

For that evening cocktail get together there is the English-influenced Jack Bain’s Bar with décor of sophisticated dark brown, warm lighting and classic leather sofas. Indoor and semi outdoor sitting are available to enjoy one of Jack Bain’s signature cocktails over good conversations. Alternatively choose to sit on one of Marble Bar’s cabanas by the pool and bask under the sun with refreshing drinks and delicious small bites. Highlight of this bar is the iSpy glass which allows guests to stand on and look through the clear glass that stretches for many floors to the ground, a must for the trill seekers in us.

One of the best executive lounge not only in Bangkok but in the entire of Southeast Asia is the renown Leonowens Club, guests are able to enjoy high quality a la carte and semi buffet breakfast with free flowing coffee, tea and even champagne. Afternoon teas are never the same here with very exquisite delights paired with a range of teas some of which are especially made and exclusive for 137 Pillars. Not-to-be-missed would be the evening cocktail with light appetizers, desserts and free flow alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks including some of the best cocktails in town, definitely bringing much glee to those who enjoy the finer things in life.
