Brasserie Palmier

Brasserie Palmier opened in 2024 at the Four Seasons on Charoen Krung, overseen by chef Guillaume Galliot, who holds stars elsewhere. It is the hotel's relaxed French option: a bright room with tropical planting, an oyster bar and a shaded terrace looking over the Chao Phraya.

The menu runs from brasserie classics to the chef's own creations, with a strong fish and seafood section. Begin at the oyster bar or with the foie gras terrine, then move on to beef tartare, a bouillabaisse or the Boston lobster confit. Meat eaters can go for the slow-cooked Iberico pork rack, and the banana and chocolate mille-feuille is a good way to finish. A sommelier guides diners through a list weighted towards France.

It suits a long riverside lunch, a date with a view or a family celebration, and the Michelin Guide lists it in its current Bangkok selection. Dress is smart casual. Book through OpenTable; it is closed on Mondays.
