About RICI by rico's

RICI by rico's is the night-time side of Rico's, a brunch cafe that sits in a white two-storey house on Sukhumvit Soi 26, near Phrom Phong. By day the space is airy and minimalist with big windows and artwork. When RICI takes over in the evening, the lights go down and the room turns warm and relaxed, with paper-covered tables and crayons so guests can doodle while they wait.

The menu is small plates and pasta with a Western and Italian lean. The Standard listed crispy Japanese sweet potatoes at 220 baht, black truffle arancini at 160 baht, a baked chicken and mushroom pasta at 390 baht, and cocktails such as the rum-based Southern Punch at 320 baht. Reviewers also mention salmon tartare, mascarpone toast and prawn bisque pasta. Wongnai reviewers put spend at around 251 to 500 baht a head, though holiday set menus cost more.

Reviewers on Trip.com and Wongnai describe it as warm, pretty and good for dates, small groups and celebrations, and the room is decorated for festive seasons. It only opens in the evening on a few nights a week and asks guests to reserve through LINE (@ricos.bkk), so plan ahead and confirm the night before you go.
