"Located inside the main house of a former royal mansion, The Gardens has a spectacular setting. The meticulously maintained grounds that give this restaurant its name are worth strolling around—you might spot rabbits or peacocks on the grass, and swans in the pond. Eat in the gorgeous, lushly decorated outdoor area, or stay inside and enjoy a refined atmosphere with glamorous chandeliers and white-linen tablecloths. The long brunch menu includes duck confit and crispy waffles, espresso BBQ pork ribs, and tom yam seafood pizza. Come here to celebrate something—anything—over some bubbly, or just for a break from the hectic streets of Bangkok." - Katie Lockhart
