This restaurant came highly recommended by a friend. I thought it was just okay. It's very expensive as is the wine list, but I don't see why. It's nice inside but not fancy. At least at Sirocco & Breeze you ahve a view, so the high prices are justified. I just don't see why here. Also, tables are too close... More

The ambience is fantastic! Very nice Thai architecture house, fresh lush flower arrangements of orchids and foliage everywhere. The waitress and waitresses where very attentive and courteous to us. The food was very good except for the cat fish salad which oily and cold. The black chicken in coconut soup and the pad Thai were very delicious! Will go back... More

If you want a modified taste, Blue Elephant is the place to go. Everything is toned down, and it seems to be designed for tourists. Nothing I ate here impressed me. My Thai guests were even less impressed, but thought that I, as a foreigner should like it. I didn't, and I won't be going back.

The food here is good, but overrated and overpriced. It's a very nice old house providing a comfortable setting for dinner, and it's right beside a BTS station so it's very convenient, but you can get food as good or better in many places at a much better price. There are quite a few Thai restaurants in old houses in... More

Visited this restaurant tonight. Despite adhering to the dress code as per lecture, I was quite surprised that others in the restaurant hadnt stuck to the dress code. The wine list is shocking. 420 baht for a glass of red wine of which you could buy 2 bottles in the supermarket round the corner, shocking. Waited an hour before the... More

A colleague and I ate here on our first night in Bangkok on the recommendation of our hotel. We live in London so could go to a Blue Elephant restaurant any day but we are so glad we did. She went back with other colleagues the next night and we took over 20 back to their private room on two... More

We came here with really high hopes having read the reviews and, when we arrived you almost will it to be brilliant as the setting is great, so first impressions are very good.  Beautiful building with character and elegant dining room. I also thought the concept was innovative - Thai food for past, present and future - and certainly the... More
