The river prawn arrives whole on mountain rice, brushed with shrimp paste, and it is the dish that once made Le Du the best restaurant in Asia. The tasting menu around it costs ฿4,500, about $132. That is the quiet advantage of dining in Bangkok: the city has more Michelin-grade tasting menus under $200 than almost anywhere, and the gap between the price and the cooking is the widest in the fine-dining world. Prices below are per person before drinks, normalised to US dollars at mid-2025 rates of about 34 baht. These seven are the best value tasting menus in the city, ranked.
1.Le Du
Ton Tassanakajohn's modern Thai at ฿4,500, about $132, once Asia's best restaurant; the city's smartest tasting bargain. Book the table.
Le Du sits on Silom Soi 7 in Bang Rak, where chef Thitid 'Ton' Tassanakajohn cooks the modern Thai food that topped Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2023 and still holds a Michelin star in the 2026 Guide. The tasting menu is ฿4,500, roughly $132, for a progression through his signatures: the river prawn with mountain rice and shrimp paste, and the khao chae of chilled jasmine rice with a shrimp-and-pork relish. For food at this level the price is the headline, well under the $200 ceiling. Book the dining room two to four weeks out and take the wine pairing if the budget stretches.

2.Potong
Chef Pam's twenty-course Thai-Chinese in a Chinatown townhouse, ฿5,500, about $162, with dry-aged duck; reserve a month ahead.
Potong fills a five-storey 1910 townhouse on Yaowarat in Chinatown, the family building where chef Pichaya 'Pam' Soontornyanakij grew up above the old pharmacy. Her '5 Elements, 5 Senses' menu runs past twenty courses for ฿5,500, about $162, and the signature is the fourteen-day dry-aged duck, crisp-skinned and rosy. Pam was named Asia's Best Female Chef in 2024 and the World's Best Female Chef in 2025, and the room holds a Michelin star. It is one of the hardest bookings in the city, for good reason. Reserve a month ahead and climb to the rooftop bar for a drink after the meal.

3.Gaa
Garima Arora's two-star Indian in a Sukhumvit 53 wooden house, ฿4,700, about $138, durian and jackfruit mains; worth booking now.
Gaa moved from Soi Langsuan into a teak Thai house on Sukhumvit 53, where chef Garima Arora serves the food that made her the first Indian woman to hold two Michelin stars, confirmed again in the 2026 Guide alongside a Young Chef nod. The tasting menu is ฿4,700, about $138, turning Indian street-food ideas through modern technique, with main courses built on unlikely heroes like jackfruit and durian. The wine pairing is one of the most thoughtful in the city. Two stars at this price is rare value. Book a few weeks ahead and say yes to the pairing.

4.Haoma
Deepanker Khosla's zero-waste Indian off Sukhumvit 31, about ฿3,500, $103, star and Green Star; reserve it for conscience and flavour.
Haoma occupies a garden house off Sukhumvit 31 in Phrom Phong, where chef Deepanker 'DK' Khosla runs a neo-Indian kitchen on a closed-loop system, growing produce and farming fish on site and at his own farm in Suwinthawong. The menu is about ฿3,500, near $103, and the cooking holds both a Michelin star and a Green Star for sustainability in the 2026 Guide. The food is generous and spice-driven, a long way from the price of comparable tasting menus elsewhere. It is the value pick for diners who want the meal to mean something. Book ahead and ask about the farm sourcing.

5.Inddee
Sachin Poojary's first-year-starred Indian in a Langsuan mansion, about ฿4,900, $144, with a serious wine list; try it once.
Inddee occupies a century-old house on Soi Langsuan, where chef Sachin Poojary, a Taj Mumbai alumnus, won a Michelin star in the restaurant's first year. The tasting menu is about ฿4,900, near $144, ranging across the Indian subcontinent with fine-dining technique, and the wine programme run by sommelier Thanakorn 'Jay' Bottorff is one of the better pairings in town. It is the newest name on this list and the one most likely to climb. Under the $200 line it offers star cooking plus a real cellar. Try it once with the pairing and judge the room for yourself.

6.Aksorn
David Thompson's revival of 1930s Thai recipes above Charoen Krung, about ฿3,400, $100; go for the lost dishes. Pencil it in.
Aksorn sits above the Central: The Original Store on Charoen Krung, the project where David Thompson, the chef who built Nahm into one of the world's best Thai restaurants, cooks dishes pulled from Thai cookbooks as old as the 1930s. The set runs about ฿3,400, near $100, and the room feels like a grand old Bangkok home, with platters meant for the table to share. It holds a Michelin star in the 2026 Guide. For the price it offers what none of the modern kitchens do: forgotten recipes cooked with authority. Pencil it in a couple of weeks ahead and come hungry enough to share.

7.Coda
Tap Kokpol's contemporary Thai near Lumphini, about ฿3,490, $103, with dry-aged duck and coffee sauce; reserve for value.
Coda sits on Soi Tonson off Witthayu near Lumphini, where chef Supasit 'Tap' Kokpol cooks contemporary Thai shaped by a decade in Australian kitchens and his mother's seafood restaurant in Mahachai. The tasting menu is about ฿3,490, near $103, and the dish people return for is the dry-aged duck served with an unexpected coffee sauce. It holds a Michelin star in the 2026 Guide. Among the cheapest one-star tasting menus in Bangkok, it rewards the diner chasing value without dropping standards. Reserve a midweek seat a week or two ahead, and browse the wider Bangkok dining guide for similar rooms.

Brilliant, but over the line
Sorn. Sorn's three-star southern Thai feast runs about ฿7,200, well over the $200 line, and that is before drinks. It is one of the best meals in Thailand and the country's first three-star Thai kitchen, but it is not a value pick. Save it for a milestone rather than this list.
Sühring. Sühring's six and nine-course German menus reach ฿7,800 and ฿9,800, and the three-star kitchen earns every baht. For this ranking, though, it sits above the ceiling. Book it when the budget is not the question, not when value is the brief.
How to book Bangkok's value tasting menus
The best-value tables in Bangkok are also some of the hardest to get. Le Du and Potong open reservations on their own sites and through booking platforms, and Potong in particular goes weeks out, so set a reminder for the release. Gaa, Haoma, Inddee, Aksorn and Coda are more forgiving and can usually be had a week or two ahead. Book direct where you can, take a weekday seat for the best availability, and confirm the menu price, which excludes tax and service.
To stretch the budget further, look at lunch. Côte by Mauro Colagreco serves a ฿3,300 four-course lunch and Blue by Alain Ducasse a ฿2,950 lunch, both bringing two and one-star kitchens well under the line at midday.

Frequently asked
What is the best tasting menu under $200 in Bangkok?
Le Du is our top value pick. Chef Thitid 'Ton' Tassanakajohn's modern Thai menu on Silom is ฿4,500, about $132, and the restaurant topped Asia's 50 Best in 2023 and holds a Michelin star in the 2026 Guide. For the price it is the widest gap between cost and cooking in the city, built on signatures like the river prawn and khao chae. Book two to four weeks ahead.
How much does a Michelin tasting menu cost in Bangkok?
One-star tasting menus mostly land between ฿3,400 and ฿5,500, roughly $100 to $162, which is why Bangkok is such strong value. Two-star Gaa is ฿4,700 and one-star rooms like Aksorn, Coda and Haoma sit around ฿3,400 to ฿3,500. The exceptions are the three-star kitchens, Sorn at about ฿7,200 and Sühring up to ฿9,800, which climb above the $200 line.
Which Bangkok two-Michelin-star restaurant is cheapest?
Gaa, at ฿4,700 for the tasting menu, is the most affordable two-star room in Bangkok and about $138. Chef Garima Arora's modern Indian cooking in a Sukhumvit 53 wooden house is the rare two-star meal that comfortably clears the $200 ceiling. It makes the strongest case on this list for star dining at a one-star price. Book a few weeks ahead and take the wine pairing.
Are lunch tasting menus cheaper in Bangkok?
Yes, and they are the best way to eat at the city's pricier rooms on a budget. Côte by Mauro Colagreco at Capella serves a ฿3,300 four-course lunch, and Blue by Alain Ducasse at ICONSIAM offers a ฿2,950 lunch, both bringing serious Michelin kitchens well under $200 at midday. Lunch also tends to be easier to book than the prime dinner seatings.
How far ahead should I book these Bangkok restaurants?
Two to four weeks is the right window for most, with Potong the notable exception, often a month or more because it is one of the hardest bookings in Bangkok. Le Du also fills quickly on weekends. Gaa, Haoma, Inddee, Aksorn and Coda can usually be had a week or two out. Book direct, take a weekday seat for the best chance, and join a waiting list if your date is gone.
