a copy of the post I made about restaurants from my January report. Hopefully it will give you some ideas. However, we do tend to eat Thai food so others may have recommendations for other types of food. :)
Restaurants
we visited 2 that we had been to on our very first visit. The first one was Cabbages and Condoms. This time we found the food quite average unfortunately. On a positive I saw some unique Christmas decorations. That full sized Santa on close inspection turned to be 100% made of condoms Very realistic too! The tree was also beautifully decorated with red and white condom flowers. It was a pity we had forgotten to take the camera.
The second restaurant was Lemongrass, 2 skytrain stops and a five minute walk away. It is in an old Thai house. This one was as good or even better than it was 5 or 6 years ago. It was so good we also went on our last night. Try the red curry chicken skewers as a starter
On New Years Eve we went to Mango House just past Patpong Market. We had booked it before we left for our holiday. Beautiful food and very relaxed, despite the fact that a fast turn around would have meant a lot more profit. From there we went back to Nana skystop and got to Gullivers 10 mins before midnight. Huge place, brilliantly thought out, with music bar, quiet bar which even had board games there( !), pool tables, sports screens etc. The tv screens were showing the Bangkok countdown( which had christina aguillera leading it). 5 mins before midnight the party poppers were given out- at midnight there was 5 mins of celebrations and then it went back to normal- perfect We phoned everyone at home to say happy new year- it was only 5 pm there The strange thing was the closing of bars at 1am. Most bars seemed to close then( everynight)
We tried to go to Harmonique but it was closed for a few days unfortunately. We went to nearby Tongue Thai where we had a brilliant meal- I would really recommend you try it.
BedSupper Club was about 10 mins walk from our hotel but I really didn't fancy it. I also didn't like the fact that there are 3 sittings - I hate being hurried.
Not a restaurant- but if you are going to Harmonique or Tongue Thai, call in for a drink at the Bamboo Bar at the Oriental( and it may be only one as you might blanch at the price). If you like jazz there is a brilliant singer there.

If you want spectacular views, book Vertigo at Banyan Tree. Open air on the 56th floor. We saw clouds below the restaurants form lightning and hit the city. Amazing stuff. Expensive, but worth it for once in a lifetime experience at sunset.
