Quince

The city's hottest new international eatery
Tipple of choice: Bangkok isn't renowned for its wine lists, but there are some top Spanish drops on the menu here.

Popular plate: Make room for dessert—the rotating selection of treats like roasted figs with yoghurt sorbet and pecans are particularly tasty.
Jumping on Bangkok's burgeoning organic and sustainable eating bandwagon, Quince serves up the kind of nose-to-tail, heavy comfort food-style dishes that have taken the western world's restaurants by storm.

Complete with rustic NYC Meatpacking District-esque furnishings and an ever-changing roster of hearty dishes like roast bone marrow on toast and pig cheek rillette with quince paste and pickles, the restaurant had a legion of local foodies gnashing their teeth to make a reservation upon its mid-2012 opening.

While the service is known to be inconsistent, the impressive home cooking here has been welcomed as a worthy addition to the higher-end Bangkok dining scene.
