"Ranked No. 30 on the 2025 World’s 50 Best Restaurants list." - Erin DeJesus
"The much-acclaimed restaurant led by chef Thitid Tassanakajohn that helped define modern Thai fine dining and inspired more casual offshoots while maintaining a reputation for contemporary, locally rooted cuisine." - Chris Schalkx
"Part of a wave of Thai restaurants that rose in prominence as local cuisine gained international attention, this modern Thai spot has become recognized alongside peers for elevating Thai flavors in contemporary fine-dining formats." - Chris Schalkx
"Chef “Ton” Thitid creatively re-interprets Thai cuisine, with a rotating seasonal menu – Le Du comes from a Thai word meaning ‘season’. In summer, highlights include their signature Khao Chae, as well as Khao Khluk Kapi; the organic rice, cooked with salty aromatic shrimp paste and pork jam, is served with perfectly done river prawns. A relaxed ambience makes this a welcome retreat for diners." - Michelin Inspector
"Thai Flavours Marry With Progressive Technique Le Du has become the toast of the Bangkok restaurant scene since debuting in late 2013, striking a resounding blow for what owner/head chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn calls “progressive Thai cuisine” by combining modern techniques with bold Asian flavours. Although the chef insists the restaurant is Thai, a painstaking commitment to presentation intuitive approach to flavour combinations in creations like beef with pickled and raw Chinese cabbage and octopus with crab mayo and chorizo make this exemplary venue difficult to categorise."
