Nusara

Nusara holds one Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Bangkok. The restaurant is in a heritage building on Maharaj Road in Rattanakosin, Phra Nakhon — Bangkok’s old town, within walking distance of the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. It is one of very few Michelin-starred restaurants in the historic core of the city, which makes it an unusual combination of serious food and a genuinely significant setting.

Nusara cuisine and style

Nusara serves Thai contemporary cuisine in a tasting menu format, with dishes that draw on Thai culinary traditions and seasonal produce. The cooking is refined and carefully presented, designed to be worthy of the setting. The riverside location on Maharaj Road adds atmosphere that few Bangkok restaurants can match.

Expect 3,000–4,500 THB per person before drinks. Reservations are essential.

Why visit Nusara

Nusara is one of the most compelling Michelin options for visitors who are already spending time in the old town — seeing the temples, the Grand Palace, and the riverside area. Combining that day with dinner at a one-star Thai restaurant on Maharaj Road makes for a coherent Bangkok itinerary.
