Ojo Bangkok

About Ojo Bangkok

Ojo is the modern Mexican restaurant on the 76th floor of The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, in the King Power Mahanakhon tower on Narathiwat Road near BTS Chong Nonsi. The room is modern and minimal, with golden tones, gem-like accents and Latin American textiles. There are indoor tables and a terrace zone, and both look out over the Bangkok skyline.

The kitchen is led by chef Francisco "Paco" Ruano from Guadalajara. Signatures include the Ojo guacamole with crab and fish roe on corn tostadas, esquites made with baby corn and jalapeño mayo, aguachile, coconut ceviche, pollo en pipián and a short rib birria for sharing. The bar is known for mezcal cocktails. This is a special-occasion price level: Wongnai lists it at over ฿1,000 per person, with mains around ฿1,100 to ฿2,500 plus service and tax.

It works well for an anniversary or a big-night-out date, since the view does much of the work. Book a table near the windows or terrace for sunset. Reviewers note the lunch sets are the better value and the daytime view is clearest, while dinner gives you the city lights.

Why it works for a date

• Striking gold-toned interior and terrace
• Strong mezcal cocktail list

Good to be aware of
