Rain Tree Café

I've been to several buffets in Bangkok, but I had never tried this one until today. I can now say without hesitation that it's become my absolute favorite. I visited for their Sunday brunch, and the food was simply outstanding. The selection is incredibly diverse you're served lobster, there's raclette, tacos and kebab /tacos style dishes, foie gras, mini burgers, Alaskan crab... the list truly goes on and on. What really sets this place apart is the exceptional service. This is the first buffet where staff actually took the time to walk me through the offerings and let me choose my preferred seating. It's a genuine 5-star experience. For the same price range, I found this to be far better value than Copper Beyond Buffet. I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier buffet experience, and I'll definitely be returning.

There was a wide range of food, with grilled lobster as the special dish (limited to one lobster per person). They had all kinds of food, such as crackers/bread with ikura (and maybe caviar) as an appetizer, a cheese board, Japanese sushi and sashimi, Peking duck, oysters, kebabs, and all kinds of steaks. I especially loved their grilled foie gras, lamb steak, and coconut water (very refreshing). The other menu items were fairly standard. The brunch runs from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., which was actually plenty of time. We were already full by 2:30 p.m. The restaurant wasn’t crowded, but it was still a bit hard to find parking because there had been a wedding in the morning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Exceptional Dining Experience at Rain Tree Café – The Athenee Hotel I had the pleasure of enjoying the buffet lunch at Rain Tree Café, and it was truly an outstanding experience from beginning to end. The cuisine was exquisite — an impressive selection of dishes prepared with remarkable attention to quality and presentation. Every course, from appetizers to mains, sides, desserts, and fresh fruit, was perfectly executed and full of refined flavors. The service was impeccable, with staff members who were consistently courteous, attentive, and professional, ensuring every guest felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, offering a serene and comfortable setting that perfectly complements the high standard of hospitality for which The Athenee Hotel is renowned. Overall, Rain Tree Café delivers a five-star dining experience, combining exceptional food, flawless service, and a luxurious atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking one of Bangkok’s finest buffet experiences.

A great buffet dining experience with a high end atmosphere and good service. The place is packed with high quality food ranging from Western to more traditional Thai options. The grilled section was definitely a standout of this place. However, some cuisine options are limited but they were all really high quality. The general vibe of the restaurant and hotel was also amazing, I would definitely recommend visiting.

The Rain Tree Café at Athenee Hotel in Bangkok is a great place for anyone who loves buffets. The food offers plenty of variety and good quality. You will find international cuisine from Thai, Indian, Japanese, and Chinese dishes. There is a strong focus on fresh seafood, premium meats, and classic Thai specialties. Chefs cook dishes right in front of you at live cooking stations. There are carving stations with grilled baby lamb and beef. A live seafood section lets you pick from the freshest options. Families will enjoy simple choices like bread, mini burgers, and pizzas. The dessert section is very large. It includes homemade ice cream and rich chocolate treats. There is something sweet for everyone. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming. The décor is modern Thai neocolonial style, which feels both stylish and comfortable. It works well for family meals or special occasions. The only downside is the drink policy. Guests can only order one hot drink for the whole lunch. Luckily, the hotel has its own bakery and even a Starbucks in the tower, so you can grab more drinks if you want. It has also bar in the front.

Went there for Thanksgiving buffet, amazing turkey. The rest are the food is very decent. I didnt take a lot of pics but there were grilling station which has great lamb ribs. Japanese corner was very limited tho not great selections, same goes for chinese and arabic zone. Pasta station needs work. The best, however, is the seafood they are very fresh and tasty 3 choices of oysters thai style condiments included, Lovely !!! If the AC always works as hard as that day bring a coat !! All in all great place for family/friend gathering

Visited here back in 2015-2016 during October (Halloween). It was very memorable and I loved everything about the place at the time, so here are my thoughts after my latest come back in 2025… Rain Tree Café in Bangkok is truly an outstanding buffet experience! The variety and quality of food are top-notch, with everything from fresh seafood to international favorites prepared beautifully. What makes it extra special is the festive atmosphere during the Halloween season — the decorations, themed dishes, and fun presentation make dining here both delicious and memorable. The staff is warm, attentive, and always ready to make sure you’re enjoying your meal. Whether you’re here for a casual gathering or a special occasion, Rain Tree Café takes the buffet experience to another level. A must-visit if you’re in Bangkok!
