About SIMMER.BKK

SIMMER.BKK is a brunch and dinner restaurant on the newer Phran Nok-Phutthamonthon Sai 4 Road in Bang Chueak Nang, Taling Chan, on Bangkok's west side. It opened in August 2024 and is run by Chef Boom from The Next Iron Chef and Chef Bellth from Top Chef Thailand. The room is styled like a warm Italian glasshouse, with indoor air-conditioned seating plus outdoor tables looking over a small pond.

The kitchen cooks Italian-leaning fusion comfort food, with hand-made fresh pasta as the thing most diners talk about. Popular plates include scallop toast with green apple and yuzu, truffle cream pasta, fresh pasta in prawn bisque sauce, gambas, beef cheek stew and a charcoal-grilled pork chop. Wongnai puts spending at about 501 to 1,000 baht per person, with most pastas around 450 baht.

The cozy, homely setting and the pond-side seats make it an easy dinner date, and reviewers say it suits couples as well as small groups. The team decorates for seasons, with Halloween and a Christmas theme complete with falling snow noted in reviews, so the end of the year is a fun time to go. Evenings feel best if you want the lights and the outdoor view.
