About

Le Bouchon has been a French bistro since 1996 on Soi Atthakan Prasit, which runs off Sathorn Soi 1. It is small, dimly lit and tightly packed, and it has fed Bangkok's French residents for so long that Tripexpert calls it perhaps the city's most authentic French bistro. The restaurant's website shows its mainstays: a French onion soup that several reviewers rank the best in Bangkok, steak tartare, beef Wellington, roast chicken and foie gras terrine, while regulars order the escargots and the lamb shank with white beans. Intravel estimates a meal at 1,000 baht and up; Chope scores it 4.6 from 42 reviews with service at 4.8. A Le Petit Journal piece mentions a 450-baht lunch menu but is undated. Hours are 11:30 to 23:30 daily, with last kitchen orders at 14:45 and 21:45. Book on +66 2 125 2179. By its Google coordinates it is about 360 metres from MRT Lumphini. Google: 4.7 from 819 reviews.
