Rooftop Nobu Bangkok in Bangkok

Nobu Bangkok: a rooftop on the 60th floor of The Empire

Three levels high above Sathorn

The Empire, one of Sathorn's big office towers, is home at its summit to Nobu Bangkok, billed by the brand as the highest and largest Nobu restaurant in the world. The lounge bar occupies the 57th floor, the main dining room and the sushi bar the 58th, and the open-air terrace the 60th, the real rooftop.

The view is spectacular: the Chao Phraya and its meanders, the nearby King Power Mahanakhon tower, Lumphini Park and, in the distance, the green loop of Bang Krachao. At sunset, the terrace's banquettes face the river and the city.

Nikkei cuisine and high-altitude cocktails

The menu features chef Nobu Matsuhisa's classics, contemporary Japanese cuisine spiced up with Peruvian influences, served at dinner every evening and at lunch on weekdays. The rooftop has its own menu, with exclusive cocktails at 890 baht, plus service and tax, and the bar on the 57th focuses on cocktails, sake and signature bites. The venue also hosts private events and big parties, such as the New Year one.
