Brunch Bangkok: 14 Brunch Spots by Neighbourhood, from 07:00 Cafes to Sunday Hotel Buffets

Brunch in Bangkok: cafe brunch vs hotel buffet, what each costs

The two formats do different jobs. A cafe brunch is a weekday or Saturday thing, built on egg dishes, sourdough and specialty coffee, and it rarely needs a booking. A hotel Sunday brunch is a three-hour buffet, often with live stations and free-flow drinks, booked in advance for a birthday or a family table. Prices are not comparable: Lucca’s whole brunch menu sits below 500 baht a plate, while The Sukhothai Bangkok’s Sunday brunch voucher is 3,900 baht net per person.

Check the small print on both. Many restaurants add 10 percent service and 7 percent VAT, shown as ++ on the menu. Hotel prices are often quoted net. Several cafes in this list close by 16:00 or 17:00, so the late brunch that works in other cities can mean a closed door here.

Brunch in Thonglor and Ekkamai

Thonglor’s two brunch rooms in this guide both sit on Thonglor Road. Lucca at 125/26 Thonglor Road calls itself Mediterranean all-day dining with specialty coffee and runs from 07:00 to 23:00, so brunch can stretch into dinner. NICO NICO in the DM Home building near Soi 21 does a Japanese-leaning plate of curry scrambled eggs, chashu and sake-fried mushrooms with yudane toast, and sells Japanese breads such as melon pan and shokupan. Google lists 07:00 to 16:00, The Standard 08:00 to 17:00 and Time Out a closing time as late as 18:00; every source agrees it is not a dinner place. Building parking helps. See Thonglor restaurants for the street.

Ekkamai’s brunch is quieter. Popcup sits in an old house on Soi Ekkamai 4, five to seven minutes from the BTS, with indoor and outdoor seats, pets allowed and a house pistachio cream on toast at 230 baht. It is built for long, slow sessions and closes at 17:00.

Brunch in Ari

Ari brunch is mostly cafe culture: garden seats, coffee roasters and short walks from BTS Ari. Nana Coffee Roasters’ garden on Soi Ari 4 opens at 07:00 on weekdays and 08:00 at weekends, and The Standard points drivers to the Laan Rot@Ari car park between Soi 4 and 5. Kopihub Prime on Soi Ari 2 is the Thai answer to brunch, with Hat Yai dim sum, pa tong ko and kopi from 07:00 at weekends, a car park of its own and a LINE queue. The Standard’s September 2023 write-up listed a Thursday closure that Google’s hours do not show, so check its page before a Thursday visit. Lucky’s Hungry on Soi Ari 3 does American fried rice and a breakfast menu, though its hours differ by source. More in Ari cafes and Ari restaurants.

Brunch in Sathorn, Silom and the riverside

Sathorn’s brunch is for office mornings and Sunday roasts. (Not Just) Another Cup on Sathorn Soi 10 opens at 07:00 with salads and wholegrain pasta, and Kai New Zealand on Sathorn Soi 12 does the Sunday roast with free valet at weekends; both are covered in Sathorn restaurants. In Silom, Veganerie’s branch in the Baan Silom building serves a fully vegan all-day breakfast; more in vegan restaurants in Bangkok.

By the river, Sarnies on Charoen Krung Soi 44 fills two century-old shophouses that Time Out Thailand rates five stars, and opens at 08:00. The rest of the riverside is in riverside restaurants in Bangkok.

Sunday brunch buffets in Bangkok, and free-flow deals

On a Sunday, brunch in Bangkok usually means a hotel buffet. Two current examples show the range. The Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn runs a Sunday brunch at The Glass House on the first and third Sunday of each month from April 2026, 12:00 to 15:00, at 1,590 baht net instead of the regular 2,250. The Sukhothai Bangkok’s Sunday brunch is sold at 3,900 baht net per person including a welcome drink, soft drinks, tea and coffee, with vouchers valid until 28 December 2026. Time Out’s brunch round-up prices free-flow wine, cocktails or champagne as separate add-ons.
