IM En Ville

About IM En Ville

IM En Ville (อิ่มในเมือง) sits at 59 Fueang Nakhon Road in the old town, a short walk from MRT Sam Yot exit 3 and facing Wat Ratchabophit. The building dates to around 1910 and was a printing house for decades before being restored. Exposed brick, arched passageways, bookshelves and new skylights give it a bright, vintage feel spread over two floors.

Downstairs, Café ÌM serves specialty coffee, tea, pastries and light meals, next to a small Thai food corner. Upstairs, 59 ÌM Modern Bistro does Western fusion such as prawn linguine, scallops and sea bass, and Maison ÌM makes cakes and cookies daily. Café spending is roughly 101-250 baht, while a bistro meal can run past 1,000 baht per person.

Reviewers love the late-afternoon light and the temple view, so arriving before sunset for coffee and staying on for dinner upstairs makes a nice date. Wongnai users say it suits couples and has many photo corners. Book ahead for weekday evenings after 7pm.
