The Verandah

Perched on the riverfront of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Verandah restaurant offers a serene setting to watch the boats and admire views of the river, the Peninsula, and IconSiam. The ambiance perfectly embodies the Italian phrase “Il dolce far niente”—the sweetness of doing nothing. Our meal was delightful, featuring dishes with genuine "wow" factor. We sampled the wonton noodle soup, cauliflower steak, blue crab & papaya, and Ravioli duck foie gras. Each dish was fresh, but the ravioli stole the show. The pasta was flavorful, and the duck foie gras inside was luxuriously rich and tender, melting seamlessly on the first bite. I’m eager to return and explore more of the menu. Note that the restaurant appeared short-staffed, so we had to signal for service periodically. Nevertheless, it remained a wonderful fine-dining experience.

We came back to dine at Verandah at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok again on Christmas night, and the atmosphere was as lovely as ever. This time, we ordered the grilled beef, which was absolutely delicious — very tender and perfectly cooked. We also couldn’t miss our all-time favorite, the Oriental Fried Rice. It’s stir-fried with pork, chicken, and shrimp, and served with satay on the side. Truly amazing and full of flavor. Highly recommended for both the food and the classic riverside ambiance. 🎄✨

Top notch food and drinks! Best atmosphere with river view and delicious food in busy town - Bangkok. Been there twice and it’s been amazing experience for each visit. The food was absolutely delicious and cocktails are excellent. A must visit if you are looking for a porch experience . We will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

We returned to The Verandah for Christmas evening, marking our second visit this month after a recent staycation, and once again, the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, proved why it is in a league of its own. The Culinary Highlights: The food was, quite simply, spectacular. I ordered the steak, and I can honestly say it was one of the finest I have ever encountered. The quality of the meat was exquisite—perfectly seared with a beautiful crust, yet incredibly succulent and melt-in-the-mouth tender on the inside. Every bite was a masterclass in flavor. We also had the famous Mandarin Fried Rice. This isn't just a side dish; it’s a masterpiece. It is so generously packed with premium meats that it’s incomparable to anything else you’ll find. I can confidently say you won’t find a plate that matches this level of depth and taste anywhere else in the world. For dessert, the chocolate brownie ice cream was the perfect finale. The texture was amazing—a wonderful contrast between the smooth, rich ice cream, the soft, fudgy brownie pieces, and those satisfying chunks of chocolate. Service and Recognition: What truly makes the Mandarin Oriental special, however, is the staff. The service was flawless, as always. We were especially touched that one of the staff members recognized us from our previous stay. That level of personal recognition makes you feel less like a guest and more like part of the family. It is exactly why we love this hotel. Thank you to the entire team for making our Christmas evening so beautiful and memorable. We will definitely be back again! Wasin M.

The surrounding hotel and the atmosphere of this restaurant on the bank of the river are incredible! Definitely worth the experience. The food is good too. I wasn’t in love with my dish, though. While the chicken was cooked perfectly, it was kind of bland. One thing Thailand usually never slips on is flavor so that was surprising and disappointing.

Amazing location inside the Mandarin Oriental, with a beautiful view over the river and a stunning, refined ambience. Service is above average and extremely attentive, especially regarding intolerances and allergies. Food quality is excellent from start to finish. A flawless experience. 10/10.

This restaurant has an excellent atmosphere. The manager regularly checks on customers' needs, and the staff always greets you with a smile. It's a great place to relax and unwind. Since I hadn't eaten all day, their staff member Nuttaya recommended the yellow curry seafood rice. The freshness was outstanding, and the flavor was fantastic!

Breakfast at Verandah Mandarin Oriental was a delight, fresh flavorful and beautifully presented with stunning riverside view. Loved the refreshing coconut water, gluten-free bread, tofu scramble with spinach, Oriental egg and berry sorbet all perfectly made. As MO members we were delighted to receive a complimentary breakfast and truly appreciated the warm hospitality. Thanks to the attentive staff for making our morning so enjoyable. 💛
