"Rank: #4 "It might sound French, but the name Le Du actually derives from the Thai word for 'season'. As the name suggests, seasonal Thai ingredients are the focus here through a tasting menu of regional dishes interpreted through a modern, French-leaning lens."

"Rank: #5 "Gregarious Kolkata-born chef Gaggan Anand closed his Bangkok restaurant – which had been voted No.1 in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants a record four times from 2015-2018 – in August 2019. In November of the same year, he opened a new incarnation of the eatery with a subtly different name in a new, foliage-clad site in the south east of Bangkok. The Gaggan Anand restaurant debuts on the list at No.5, earning the Highest New Entry Award 2021, sponsored by Aspire Lifestyles."

"Rank: #6 "When twins Thomas and Mathias Sühring debuted their namesake restaurant – presenting a fresh interpretation of traditional German fare via a menu of sophisticated, lighter-style bites – the 2016 launch was met with immediate approval. At Sühring, the duo embraces local, seasonal products and luxury ingredients, which they plate with a minimalist aesthetic."

"Rank: #11 "Sorn is, quite possibly, the hottest Thai restaurant to debut in the buzzy Bangkok scene in recent years. Since it opened in September 2018, the awards have been racking up. It picked up the Highest Climber Award in 2020 and continues its rise northwards in the list."

"Rank: #20 "The newest venture from entrepreneurial chef Thitid ‘Ton’ Tassanakajohn sees the man behind Asia’s 50 Best stalwart Le Du return to his roots with a more traditional menu of authentic Thai dishes. Named after Ton’s grandmother, who passed away in 2020, Nusara is a tribute to the chef’s culinary inspiration."

"Rank: #46 "Inspired by her father’s home cooking as a child, Mumbai-born Garima Arora recognised her calling as a chef at a young age. Most notably, she spent two years in Copenhagen cooking at one of the world’s most respected restaurants, Noma. Prior to opening Gaa, she was ensconced at Gaggan Anand’s now closed Bangkok restaurant, which held the No.1 position in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants for four consecutive years. Gaa’s debut on the list in 2019 was a double success for Arora, who was voted as winner of the Asia’s Best Female Chef Award, while her restaurant also received the Highest New Entry Award."
