【Ease of Use】I made a reservation through Tabelog the day before.All seats are at the counter, and it was fully booked.【What We Had】Omakase CourseEverything was incredibly delicious, and even though it was French cuisine, it had a Japanese twist that made it light and easy to enjoy.I appreciated that they checked in on how I was feeling as we progressed through the meal. I requested smaller portions.The chef was lively, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was vibrant.It was a great meal! Less

Taken to @margobkk by @dmoudios Dimitrios, the chef/co-owner from @ore.bkk Ōre — more to come on that brilliant little counter later — which felt like a pretty solid recommendation before we’d even walked through the door.

Margo is chef Wilfrid Hocquet’s @chefwilfridhocquet neighbourhood French bistro in Sathorn, a much more relaxed expression of the cooking pedigree that previously saw him lead Blue by Alain Ducasse in Bangkok to a Michelin star and a place on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.

And this is exactly the sort of place I increasingly love finding in Bangkok. Proper cooking, proper sauces, great produce and plenty of technique, but without all the ceremony that can sometimes come attached to it. French at heart, but loose enough around the edges to feel completely at home in Bangkok.

There’s a generosity to the food here — terrines, roasting, wood fire, sauces you actually want to mop up, and dishes designed to make you happy rather than make you sit there trying to decipher the chef’s intentions.

Margo only opened in 2025 but has already made quite an impression, being named MICHELIN Guide Opening of the Year 2026 and entering the guide as a MICHELIN Selected restaurant.

Interestingly, Dimitrios at Ōre won the very same Michelin Opening of the Year award the previous year. So when one of Bangkok’s most interesting chefs says, “you should eat here”, you listen.

Very, very good bistro cooking. And another reminder that Bangkok’s restaurant scene currently has ridiculous depth.

You always want your last meal on a trip to leave you loving the city you’re visiting. I feel fortunate, then, to say farewell to Nashville at Iggy’s, where a host sat me at the chef’s counter, with a view of the action; a server advised me to get two pastas instead of an app and an entree; and one of the cooks told me he used to work back in D.C. (well, the vey good Three Blacksmiths in Sperryville, Va.) I devoured the agnolotti stuffed with corn and showered with truffles followed by a masterful risotto decked out with sweet shrimp and stippled with herbed oil. Goodbye, Nashville! I can’t wait to come back. Less

The hardest reservation in D.C. right now is the new La Merna, from a couple (literally) Chicago talents. They’re doing (great, already) tavern-style pizza, fun pastas, and top-shelf drinks in a setting that truly evokes an earlier decade in the Windy City. Love the paneling, the service, the bustle. The cherry on top was seeing a former colleague, poised for further greatness in his career. Less
