Best Restaurants Open on Monday in Bangkok 2026

Bangkok closes a surprising number of its best kitchens early in the week. The common rest block is Monday and Tuesday, so Sühring, Le Normandie, Cote by Mauro Colagreco, Elements and Nahm all go dark, and a visitor who books a Monday on instinct can hit a wall of closures. The good news is that the very top of the guide still serves: the three-star Gaggan Anand runs a Thursday-to-Monday week, the two-star Mezzaluna lights up the Lebua tower, and three one-star Thai rooms keep a longer week. Six rooms confirm Monday hours below, ranked by what each is for, with prices in baht.

Why a Monday list matters in Bangkok

The closures on a Bangkok Monday hit the names visitors fly in for. Sühring out in Yan Nawa, Le Normandie and Cote by Mauro Colagreco on the river, Elements at the Okura tower and Nahm at the COMO all rest Monday and Tuesday, the kitchens resetting after the weekend. Land at the start of the week expecting a star and the hotel concierge often reaches for the lobby restaurant. The list below gives a sharper answer.

What stays open is the room that runs a different week by design. Gaggan Anand serves Thursday to Monday and rests midweek, so Monday is a prime night there. Paste and Saawaan keep a full seven-day week, Potong opens Monday as part of its own Thursday-to-Monday run, and the hotel rooms at the Lebua tower and the Standard serve every night. The order leads with the three-star and runs down through the stars to the Cantonese room. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026, and the closures above were confirmed too. Each name links to its full review with the score. For the wider week, start with the Bangkok dining guide, and for the weekend see restaurants open on Sunday in Bangkok.

The Monday list

1

Gaggan Anand

Progressive Indian · Sukhumvit, Bangkok · ~12,000 THB tasting

Monday hours: Monday, single dinner seating (closed Tue–Wed)

Gaggan Anand holds three Michelin stars on Sukhumvit 31, where chef Gaggan Anand runs a 25-course progressive Indian tasting that has topped Asia's 50 Best more than once. The menu is emoji-listed, theatrical and built on Indian flavour pushed through modernist technique, the price around 12,000 THB a head. Crucially for this list, the room runs Thursday to Monday and rests midweek, so Monday is a full service rather than a closure. It is the hardest seat in the city on any night, Monday included, so book as far ahead as the system allows and commit to the single seating.

2

Mezzaluna

French-Japanese · Bang Rak (Lebua tower), Bangkok · 6,500 THB tasting

Monday hours: Monday, dinner from 18:00 (closed Sun)

Mezzaluna sits on the 65th floor of the Lebua State Tower, a two-star room run by chef Ryuki Kawasaki, who plates French technique through Japanese produce high above the Chao Phraya. The seven-course tasting lands around 6,500 THB, the open-air terrace and the river view as much the draw as the plates. It rests Sunday and opens Monday, one of the few high-view tasting rooms to do so. It is the pick for a Monday that wants spectacle, the city laid out below the glass. Book a terrace-edge table at sunset and start with a drink at the Sky Bar one floor down.

3

Potong

Thai-Chinese · Chinatown, Bangkok · from ~2,000 THB tasting

Monday hours: Monday, dinner 16:30–23:00 (closed Tue–Wed)

Potong occupies a century-old family pharmacy building in Chinatown, where chef Pichaya Soontornyanakij, known as Chef Pam, cooks a one-star Thai-Chinese tasting across the five elements of her family's cooking. The multi-course menu starts from around 2,000 THB and climbs with the wine and tea pairings, the duck and the heritage Chinese-Thai plates the signatures. It opens Monday as part of a Thursday-to-Monday week, resting Tuesday and Wednesday. It is the pick for a Monday that wants story and setting, a restored shophouse with a rooftop bar above the old district.

4

Paste

Modern Thai · Ratchaprasong (Gaysorn), Bangkok · ~2,400 THB set

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 12:00–15:30 & dinner 18:00–23:00

Paste runs on the third floor of Gaysorn Village, a one-star room where chef Bongkoch Satongun, known as Chef Bee, rebuilds old royal and regional Thai recipes from forgotten manuscripts. The cooking is precise and herb-driven, the set menu around 2,400 THB, the relishes and the curries the orders. It keeps a full seven-day week, Monday lunch and dinner included, which makes it the easiest star on this list to book at the start of the week. It is the pick for serious Thai cooking in a calm room when much of the rest of the guide is closed.

5

Saawaan

Modern Thai · Sathon, Bangkok · 2,490–2,790 THB tasting

Monday hours: Monday, dinner 17:30–23:30

Saawaan on Soi Suan Phlu in Sathon is a one-star Thai tasting room, the menu structured around cooking techniques rather than courses, from raw to grilled to steamed. The set runs about 2,490 to 2,790 THB, strong value for a star, with seasonal Thai produce the throughline. It opens every night including Monday, dinner from half past five. It is the pick for a Monday that wants a starred Thai tasting without the marquee price, a quiet room and a kitchen that lets the produce lead. Book a few days out for the counter.

6

Mott 32 Bangkok

Cantonese · Sathon (the Standard), Bangkok · ~1,500–3,500 THB

Monday hours: Monday, lunch 11:30–14:30 & dinner 17:00–22:30

Mott 32 fills a basement room at the Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, the Hong Kong Cantonese brand brought to the city with its dark, jewel-box design. The applewood Peking duck, ordered ahead, and the dim sum are the reasons to come, dishes running roughly 1,500 to 3,500 THB. It opens Monday for both lunch and dinner. It is the pick for a Monday that wants a long Cantonese table and a group, the most social room on this list and the easiest to seat a crowd when the tasting menus are dark.

How to book a Monday table in Bangkok

Because the midweek closures bite hardest on Monday, the rooms that open are worth planning around. Gaggan Anand treats Monday as a prime night and is no easier than any other, so book the moment the window opens and accept the single seating. Mezzaluna fills its terrace at sunset, so reserve the river-edge tables ahead. Potong opens Monday as part of its Thursday-to-Monday run and books out weeks ahead through Chope. Paste and Saawaan keep a full week and are the easiest stars to land at short notice, a same-week call often enough. Mott 32 takes large tables and Monday lunch well. For a solo Monday, the counter at Saawaan and a single seat at Paste are the easiest and a fine solo-dining move. Entertaining a client? Mezzaluna is the room to impress a client in Bangkok; for a group, Mott 32 seats a crowd for a Bangkok team dinner.

Frequently asked questions

Are any Michelin restaurants open on Monday in Bangkok?

Yes, several, which is rarer than it sounds. Gaggan Anand, the three-star progressive Indian room, opens Monday as part of a Thursday-to-Monday week. Mezzaluna, the two-star French-Japanese room atop the Lebua tower, serves Monday, and the one-star Potong, Paste and Saawaan all open too. The casualties are the rooms that rest Monday and Tuesday: Sühring, Le Normandie, Cote by Mauro Colagreco, Elements and Nahm. See the wider Bangkok dining guide for the rest of the week.

Is Gaggan Anand open on Monday in Bangkok?

Yes. Gaggan Anand, the three-star progressive Indian restaurant on Sukhumvit 31, runs a Thursday-to-Monday week and rests Tuesday and Wednesday, so Monday is a full service. The 25-course tasting is priced around 12,000 THB a head and books out weeks ahead through the restaurant's own system. A Monday seat is no easier than any other night here, so reserve as far in advance as you can and arrive on time for the single seating.

Why do so many Bangkok restaurants close on Monday?

Bangkok's fine-dining kitchens rest early in the week to reset produce and the brigade, and Monday paired with Tuesday is the common closing block. Sühring, Le Normandie, Cote by Mauro Colagreco, Elements and Nahm all go dark on a Monday. The rooms that stay open run a different week by choice, like Gaggan Anand's Thursday-to-Monday schedule, or keep a long seven-day week, like Paste and Saawaan, plus the hotel rooms built to serve every night.

Where can I eat Thai fine dining on a Monday in Bangkok?

Three one-star Thai rooms open Monday. Paste at Gaysorn Village, run by chef Bongkoch Satongun, serves modern Thai from refined old recipes seven days a week. Saawaan in Sathon plates a Thai tasting menu nightly from 17:30. Potong in Chinatown, by chef Pichaya Soontornyanakij, cooks a Thai-Chinese tasting and opens Monday as part of its Thursday-to-Monday week. All three are starred and all three take a Monday booking.

What is the best Monday view dinner in Bangkok?

Mezzaluna on the 65th floor of the Lebua State Tower, the two-star French-Japanese room run by chef Ryuki Kawasaki. It opens Monday for dinner from 18:00, with a seven-course tasting around 6,500 THB and the open-air terrace looking down the Chao Phraya. Book a table by the glass at sunset, take the wine pairing, and arrive early for a drink at the Sky Bar one floor down before dinner.
