With more time on my hands lately, I'm noticing how my list of restaurants I frequent is not as wide as I would like.
Street food aside.
What are people's current 'go to' restaurants?

I thought this interview had some decent insight into the challenges of regulating street food here.
Leela Punyaratabandhu has a good website: http://shesimmers.com/
Is Bangkok really banning street food?
So what does it all mean for fans of Bangkok street food?
Leela Punyaratabandhu, author of new book "Bangkok: Recipes and Stories from the Heart of Thailand" explains why the issue is so complicated.

As it happens, I was introduced to this spot by a Japanese woman I know. It’s been featured in a bunch of hipster Japanese tour guides to BKK and TH.

It's a bit of a walk down a narrow soi to be turned away...Don't think I've been back since that time.

There are a lot of really good places focusing on northern cuisine, unfortunately, many of them (my favs) are a bit out from the city center.

If you do have the time, I'd suggest going to Gaggan (if you can still get a booking) - to be honest, it's a very different and unique experience, we went a while back:

We also went to Nahm a couple of year ago and the food was absolutely amazing, although be reminded that you need long pants (staff had to lend one to me!)

Agree with BuddhaExplores. We went to Gaggan last year and really enjoyed the food and experience.

No bar seating though and all the tables are really close together so it might be a little awkward as a solo diner.

The Bangkok Michelin Guide has been released.

We had lunch at L’Atelier on Monday actually. The atmosphere was great but we didn’t find the food surprisingly good.
