|
![]() | The full name is Tessa's Homemade and the
experience is not unlike that of attending a dinner party
hosted by an extremely accomplished chef. Despite
its location in upmarket Thonglor this restaurant is
extremely unpretentious and could best be described
as homely. An intimate atmosphere is greatly enhanced
by live music on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Read an overview
|
![]() | The no-frills decor belies the wealth of
high-quality seafood flown in three times a week. Fans
come to eat, not to be wowed by trendy ambience,

elsewhere in Thailand. Live jazz on Sunday evenings
adds to the fun. Read an overview
